Yeah. Maybe one day I'll get around to selling my 4 cars and FINALLY be able to afford a Z. I'm sure the GTR owners that also bought 86s actually just defaulted on their payments and are hiding from the tow truck.

I know one guy who has driven and owned a few cars and has some thoughts on the Z. Pretty much sums it up.

I do plan on adding another 50hp/lbft minimum for my target power/weight ratio, but personally I don't find the power that much of a problem. I think many aren't used to motivating a small displacement 4 banger. I can't imagine what the complaints would be like driving some of the famous 4's from the 80's/90's. The 86 has way more ballz.

One reason I also got the 86 was I got tired of turbo lag and the excess weight on my AWD Subie. Just not my sort of DD for my driving style. Still love the car but for different reasons and uses.

lol, and one of their 370Z's is listed at $40K. No wonder they're freaking out about the competition that undercuts that price so much.

Translation: both lack the impractical seating layout, minute trunk space, and crude engine of a "true" sports car. (price tag too)

Well we all know that anyone who wants a true sports car has to look no further than this according to Nissan's own Executive Vice-President



This is obviously a man who knows sports cars! I mean just compare him to that desk jockey who runs Toyota.

Where'd he get his start? Honest Bob's Used Car Lot?

A note to all you window shoppers for cars:

MOAH TO TEST DRIVE!

Win-win for us who haven't bought a fun car yet.

Such fugliness exceeds even that of the PT Cruiser...

Nope - no where near as piggish.

What about a turbo new Z? Do you think this is real?

I've been eyeing one of these as my winter vehicle for quite some time! I'd really like a "NISMO" but the clearance is likely too low for the snow.

As for a 370Z, I'm not driving one for two reasons.
1.) I'd rather spend $800 a month, some other way!
2.) No matter how I attempt to justify it, it is not at all practical, in comparison to my FRS.

Nah the Nismo version is a waste of money imo. Most 370z Nismo owners on the forum get it just for the body kit (and admit to it). Base Z with sport package is a way better value. Folks are getting them for ~ $32.5K currently
