OMG!!!!!" this thing really does have power afterall!" 0-125 mph.

same thing goes for another work buddy of mine. took him for a test drive as well, he said the same thing "its a freaking auto, its not fast." ... i just looked at him and said "ok.. ok /..ok whatever you say" and i hit the gas to the floor..sending this guy to the back of his seat. afterwards he said the same thing "wow! this thing does actually got some power for being an automatic haha it felt like i was floating in mid air!"

i love the purr of the engine, the growl of the throttle. the agility this car has... incredible for an affordable price.

Similar thing happened with my friends. They wouldn't believe that the auto was as fast as or faster than the manual.......until they drove it. They also thought I should have gotten the G37 instead of the 370Z...........until they drove it
