We need more guys/chicks that are actually into the cars and performance instead of the ones that ghetto-rig or just want attention. I have met quite a few folks at meets and such that bought their car for the look/attention and have not even begun to become one with their machine. Then you got folks that make a Camaro into a donk............

And I hope I'm not a d-bag...........lol

I like Mustangs. Even Steve's... (even after seeing it in person)

I bought mine for multiple reasons. I needed RWD. I needed over 300whp. I wanted to drift. I love the attention. I needed a new car... lol. I mainly just wanted a daily driver that could easily drift and attract a lot of attention. Whammy! Nismo 370Z fixed all of that!

It's funny, on the subie forums, I'm accused of being a z fanboi.

332 hp 3.7L, 412 hp 5.0... we're all going to end up in some 1.8L gas/electric hybrid nanny-mobile.

Drive like you stole the god damn thing, fellas. Enjoy it while you still can.

Before we lament the end of high-powered cars, remember this was the overwhelming opinion of most "experts" in the late 1960s-early 1970's. A combination of insurance concerns, smog controls and
'oil shocks", emasculated the 'muscle cars' with dire predictions that performance was forever dead.
Now, I realize the US was a very different country 40 years ago (as was the world) and that we may never fully recover economically from the Bush era Great Recession.
Hopefully, the strong coterie of performance buffs in the country will continue to sway manufacturers into building high-performance vehicles well into the future.

I've heard that

I have experienced countless number of V-8 engines both domestic and foreign ever since my Dad brought home a new 1955 Chrysler 300.
None in recent memory have impressed me as much as the Mustang's 5.0.
Based on its very strong and smooth power delivery and the sounds it makes, I would swear this engine came from the Maserati GranTurismo assembly plant.
Those who have yet to experience the sheer joy of this intoxicating engine, should do so.

Don't think I can do that. Gotta supercharge my Z first and then I'll test drive the GT so I can feel better about my purchase. Well at least the Nismo Z looks a whole lot better.
