Default Another "New" Owner

New to the F-Type. I totaled my 2017 370Z Nismo. Started looking for another stick shift but couldn't find anything that spoke to me... other than the F-Type. 2017 F-Type S. It's not a stick, and I'd trade it for pretty much the same car with a MT if I could find one. But other than that I'm loving the car so far.

Congratulations! I think right now is the golden age of F-type value. The used ones are super-cheap for the performance you get and the new 2023/2024 2-wheel drive F-type 75 is the bargain of the year at $85k + a $1K velocity tune taking it to 600+/- hp. If I didn't already own one, I'd be out buying one right now.

I'm enjoying getting to know the V6 but I'm wavering. I think I got a pretty good deal on this one so if I find a MT I like... or a R, I might be trading.

The V6 can be tuned and pullied to 450HP, if you’re wanting more power. If you’re willing and able to run only E85, VAP has a 550HP tune.

And welcome!

I have a 2016 white vert as well but with a black interior. Just like DJS said 450 hp is relatively easy. I did it and transformed the car. It was well worth money!

Yea... that's kind of why I'm looking for the MT. I guess I was thinking if I can't get the MT I'd like to have the 550HP. You know... first world problems

I have a 2020 370z Nismo, sad to see what happened to yours. They’re special cars.
