Correction slightly over 30K

A 600cc bike will do it in far less time and for less than a 1/3 of the money!

I have been eagerly watching this as finances caused me to sell my 350 Z short and I have wanted to have one again. The 370 has a retro look to it but more performance. I can't wait to try one out!

Im strongly considering a 350 as my next car. Right now its between that, an 03/04 Mustang GT and an infiniti g35 either coupe or g35x (awd sedan).

The 350 is highly recommended by me. Ride quality is a tad rough but smoother than a live axle Mustang and handles better by far. The all wheel drive Infinity I have no idea about but the awd sounds intriguing...

Meh, it's alright. But I won't be buying a car anytime soon, esp. a 30k car. I'll just continue with my MO of getting a 6-10 year old car and driving till the wheels fall off, then get another 6-10 y.o. car and repeat. That will help me save up for a bike and I won't be losing money on depreciation of a damn car.

Thats what I figured, Ive only ridden in a 350 once though. About the same power and better handling is a beautiful thing. The awd definitely has me curious since as of right now I still live where it snows and rwd is getting old in the snow. We'll see, I change my mind constantly.

Given, but they usually cost a decent amount more, at least for one in good shape. There was one at a local dealer with only 5k miles that they wanted 65k for.

My 83 Firebird has reached its end. 270K miles later I have not the desire or funds to rebuild it again. I have to upgrade soon but it won't be an expensive ride like the Z. Saving my funds for a new bike so whatever I can get to commute in the rain with will be on the really cheap side! Gotta keep those priorities in check!
