I'm not saying it's not fast, because it definitely is.
Just that stock it just isn't like this crazy *** fast car, though I guess that's all perspective.
I also have a 400+ whp 50 trim 944 turbo that traps 120+, so it's all relative.
Sure the 5.0's motor was absolutely bad *** along with the tranny, which is something I'm not crazy about on the 370z, but I just didn't care for the rest of the car.
And while it was fast, it wasn't "wow" fast.
Maybe with some mods it would be.
Just seems like everyone goes all ga-ga eyed over the "flavor of the month car" and I'm not always into that sorta stuff.
I know that made me sound like a douche bag that is putting the 5.0 down, but I'm not. Just putting it back in perspective. For the price it's unbeatable in a straight line, true, but honestly straight line is boring so that doesn't cut it for me.
Anyways, forums are meant for discussing right?
I do want your exhaust however. Just waiting on my paycheck.
