I baby the heck out of my 350Z and I do not street race. I have owned many cars, recently a 2002 Lexus IS300, a 2002 Acura TL-S and a 2001 BMW 325Ci. I drove all of those cars and all of my others the same as I drive my 350Z and I never had a problem with any of them. Unfortunately my 350Z is a lemon. I have another friend who also lives in the Houston area. He's had his 350Z for a little over 2 months and has already had his transmission replaced twice. Go over to
www.350Zmotoring.com (when it's up) and do a search and you will see that many others have had their transmission replaced as well. Or check out
www.350Zforum.com and do a search there, you will also find many people who have had the transmissions replaced in their new 350Z's.
