Been lurking about a month or so while I learn before I bought. I pulled the trigger yesterday.

Only had to drive 5 hours to get it, a 2010 G37S Sedan 6MT with 57K miles. Traded in an Ecoboost Mustang for it, and had a '13 WRX before that. I really think this is the car I was looking for (but was off my radar) when I bought the WRX.

First mods....all weather floor mats.

No offense to a Mustang owner but "eco-boost" and "Mustang" DO NOT belong in the same sentence or in the same car... lol. Glad you found a real car and welcome to the site

Yeah, why would anyone want a 4 cylinder turbo mustang that's a $600 tune away from 375 horsepower and 400+ lb-ft of torque

Trust me, I'm familiar with the power potential, but there's nothing like a v8 rumble in a "Muscle Car". I rented a 2017 convertible for my wife and I and it was quick, but I really missed the proper noise. Hence the reason I said I didn't mean offense

Thanks for the welcomes, all.

@RMB5190
Bought the WRX because I was looking for manual sedan that wasn't FWD. 2 years later, the Mustang was more power, better fuel mileage and better amenities, for a lower payment. After researching a car for my wife (FX35 in the end) I came to the realization that the G37 was what I wanted when I bought the WRX, butt I couldn't afford.

@Lego
Yup, that was me, but closer to a $400 tune. Trying to sell those parts right now.

Came to the realization after work today, looks like 2nd mod is a new clutch, whether I want to or not.
