:cool: story. Thanks for sharing.

 

I would have to disagree, The 96 300zx tt stickered at 42,000.OUCH! The new one, Probably a better all around car with ONLY 15 less HP stickers for 5000 less. We will wait and see but it might prove to be a Homerun for *** car fans. :)

 

"You should of told him "Nobody beats the REAL Z" "

?? nobody ?? sorry, can't resist that kind of h*&w&%$^. PuhLeeze...

all in good clean fun. any given day......

 

Actually curiousity got me so I went in to a Ft. Lauderdale dealer to check one out. Sat in it-feels like a big bubble and really hard surfaces. Went around to check out the sticker and just bust up- app. $34k for the track version with a $9999.00 idiot premium tacked on. Pretty much laughed all the way home. Car and Driver seems to be in love with the car but admits that they fall apart at the track.
Not even a comparison to the Z06 even in the track version.

Now that's just too funny!! :lol:

The 350Z is a decent looking car, and is fairly affordable for a sports car. But its really a poser's car, where its got the look, but not much performance to back it up. What they should have done is offer that motor with a twin turbo package, or put in the Q45's V-8. THEN they would have been on to something.

The Infiniti G35 Sport Coupe upon which its based, is a much better package for that platform, and makes for a nice luxury sport coupe. The 350Z tries to be a full out sports car, but fails in the performance. Not even in the same league as the Corvette, IMO.

 

Nothing new. Many of today's teenagers think imports and Mustangs are faster than Vettes. I don't feel sorry for someone who doesn't do their own research before putting down that kind of green. My daughter has had to educate a few of her friends that Vettes aren't just for show. :D

 

:lol: :lol: :lol: :yesnod:

 

[QUOTE He told me the Salesman that sold him his car told him that it would keep up with the new Corvettes. :lol:

I had a nice looking blue 350z try the same to me...He didn't even look at me at the next light I blew him off so bad. :smash: Don't these guys read test reports in the mags? :rolleyes:

 

:smash: :lol:

way to hand azz Rick

thanks

 

Im gonna be a troll and say that I think they are in the works of getting A TT version of the 350z. Prolly will still be slow than a Z06 but keep up better than the current 350z.

And let me just say, some of you have some very nice cars.

 

Slug,
You are ( hopefully correct)..........
The death of the Z was IMHO, brought on by.

1...Excessive selling price, for WHAT you recieved.

2...Poor performance for the bucks.......

2...Trying to make what WAS a decent sports car, into a Luxury Touring Boat...( i.e.) too many gizmo's / gadgets..........

Let's hope they AMERICANIZE.....the car, instead of trying to make US like it their way............if they do....then it will be a failure once more. :sleep:

I say bring back the 240Z or 280Z :D


BTW, anyone on here have any old datsuns with vette motors in em. Haven't done any searches but sometime in the future I plan on doing some sort of swap into a 240Z.

My engine choices are:
A. Chevy 350; everyone does that
B. Custom twin turbo or supercharged vette
C. Single Turbo Supra Engine
D. Open to suggestion

 

It is in these situations that I consider asking the other driver which Spark Plug wire I should disconnect.

 

It's not in the works...yet. Last I heard Nissan was still deciding whether
to do a convertible first or the TT. The decision hasn't been made yet.

Convertible means sales and mass appeal. TT is for the performance
crowd. We'll see

:cheers:

 

Keep up?

 

what a joke. Let me tell you, a new 350z better not go pick on a beat to crap $2500 93 Camaro, cause it will get its butt packed.

I just drove one of the cars, and it far exceeded my worst fears.

I cannot believe the abomination released by Nissan; this car will either be completely redesigned or extinct like all the other *** pretenders within 3 years.

The ultimate myth is the reliability of the *** sports car.

The only half decent *** sportscar made in the last 20 years was the Supra, and it was a lagging, ugly overweight monster. The TTRX7 was a great looking and handling car, underpowered, and pure nightmare reliability status. None of the others was anything but pure garbage, as is the new lumbering, overweight, one-tire spinning- viscous -LS havin- underpowered - v6- sporting -underbuilt hoopty- POS called the 350Z. By the way, they plow like a pig, too, and have no adjustability in the front suspension.

Frankly, I keep TRYING to give the *** crap a chance, I WANTED an RX7. I WANTED a SUPRA, I was EXCITED about the 350Z coming out. But, frankly, the japanese are purely and simply philosophically incapable of building a sound sports car grounded in common sense and consistently capable engineering.

Our Z06's will be around long after all the *** crap is nothing more than pick-a-part fodder, because they are DESIGNED by people with some sense and not by some gimmick driven, effort to prove a theoretical point.

No japanese transmission is near the equal of the T56. No powerplant ever put in a production vehicle is the equal of the LS6. The suspension works and is relatively heavy duty. The brakes are decent quality. The body is relatively stiff and durable, and what do you know? You can actually count on the car lasting fairly well for you.

All that with the Z06, and a car a LOT bigger than the 350Z, and yet it weighs a really BIG fat boy LESS than the crappy v6 Z with a wimpy trans, underbuilt rear end, and a LOT less appeal.

If you want my REAL opinion, no sugar coating, let me know....
