I didn't take it personally... Just didn't feel like explaining how wrong that statement was.
Really...not worth the expenditure of energy.

Default My Co-worker

My good friend and coworker's son recently purchased a new 350Z and my freind drove it when the boy was in on leave from the Marine Corp. My friend was really disppointed and said he had expected more from his son's new rice burner. I just brought my 02 Coupe a couple of days ago (being a C-4 Guy) so I am planning to get him to drive my coupe and give me his objective opinion on the comparison.

BTW, my friend's son previously had a highly modified Mustang which was pretty quick.

Stay tuned, more to come...

PS; Maybe the boy can be saved if his dad gives him some proper guidence.

Nothing finer than a big ole V-8 engine, IMHO!!!
