Congrats man. Glad you're happy with new purchase.
Just sad to see the tsx go...one of the originals and great mod list.
Care to write a short comparo of your experience between the tsx and the z?

Congrats- not too shabby at all. It has the auto rev-match for downshifts right? I heard the ecu/engine goes nuts if you coast in neutral lol. Just a heads up. They may have fixed it.

Oh ya, this thing pulls and keeps on pulling! It is so nice to have more power and torque. The ride is pretty nice and comfy, I wouldn't say as comfy as the TSX though. But of course, they are built for two totally different purposes. There is quiet a bit more road noise too, but nothing the Bose stereo can't overpower:)
The Syncro Rev Match transmission on the Z is so freaking cool! I don't have problem with the revs when in neutral, maybe that was a problem on earlier models. I purposely bought the 2012 and not 2013 because I don't like the "refreshed" facia on the latter. 2012's on also come with an oil cooler to keep the oil temps at a reasonable level when getting on it.

I really would have like to stay with Honda but there is just nothing in the Acura or Honda line that attracts me and find most models bland and boring. I do still have the S2000 which I plan on hanging on to for quite a while. It is the only vehicle that I ever bought that has actually appreciated in price since I bought it.

A Z370 and S2K? Both nice cars, but I definitely wouldn't want to own both at the same time. I love the Z370, much better styling then the Z350. I wanted the sister version (G37S) of the Z370 but decided on a TL-S instead.

Thanks guys. She truely is a blast to drive. The S2000 and the 370Z are really to totally different beasts. The S2000 is more raw and invigorating with no bells and whistles. A true drivers car. The Z is roomier with tons of bells and whistles with power throughout the rpm range. I honestly love them equally respectively.

Yes, I driven both cars and had owned the S2000 previously and I do agree both are marvelous vehicles in its own perspective. The s2000 is definitely more raw and give the driver a greater connection to the roads as oppose to the Z. I'm just curious as to why you would like to own two roadsters / sport cars. Great power to you to be able to up keep two sport vehicles! I personally cannot justify it regardless of my financial status. I had 3 vehicles and thought it was way too much to handle for one person! Had to sell one. Anyways, Nice Z370 :).

Ya, we had a new house built a little over a year ago. The wife needed more room and I wanted a 3 car garage.:laugh:

The TSX is sitting in my Wifes' Aunt's garage until the buyer is ready to pay the balance. He gave me a chunk down to hold it for him.

I work part-time at Home Depot and do contract labor for my father in-law's Little Debbie route. It's really my wife's job that allows the toys. She is an executive for Caremark/CVS.

P.S. Being 38 and not having any kids helps too!
