I should have bought the 350Z.

How do you have 16,840 miles in only three weeks. If you bought it used, a lot of your problems could be from the way the previous owner drove your car.

I have been hearing a lot of people are having problems with their clutch.I wounder why so many are having them. I have had my car since March of 2003 (first one in North Dallas) and have not had any problems with the car. I go auto crossing once a month and my clutch is still good. I consider my car stock just having a filter and BOV. The only "problem" I have had is a blown light bulb (speedometer) and the SRS light coming on. And these are nothing. This car is a very good car in my opinion.

BTW I have 25k miles on my car. Still loving every minute of it.

I think it safe to say that there are a few people who are a little too enthusiastic about their car and drive it so. Under normal driving conditions and even regular agressive driving conditions, the only problem you should have is excessive wear on tires. I was told around 15k the tires would need to be replaced. I just rotated them about 6500 miles and there is no way I can see them last until then. As long as your not always testing 100mph-0 on brakes and 5k lauches to see if you can spin the tires, the car should be prob-free.
