Buy a sports car for yourself and because you love to hit that adrenaline edge (preferably on the track) and **** what anyone else thinks about your purchase. Unless of course you bought it and never actually use it and just use it to overcompensate, then please sell it to someone that can appreciate it.

That blue Honda looks like it's trying too hard.... Not my thing. However, Taco Bell kinda making me hungry.

To my eyes, the civic looks like a 6th grader smashed an egg shell then tried to glue all the pieces back together.

Having said that, the 370z is coming up on 10 years old and is pretty dated in terms of performance figures. The civic will be able to go just as well, and seat twice as many people.

Maybe, but it's still a turd.

That type R is ugly af lol why would anyone want to drive that. I wish Nissan would pull their heads out of their a** and quit making Nismo Sentras and Nismo Jukes and keep the Nismo name strictly to the GTR and Z. Those are the only two cars Nissan makes that deserve the Nismo name. I really want Nissan to come out with the new Z35 and R36 already. It should already be done at this point! Many others cars have been keeping their line ups updated and upgraded. It's time they upgrade the Z and GTR!!! I wish Nissan cared more -_-

I miss Omaha because people here kind of suck. Plus I'll never be able to afford property here unless it's way inland.

I work and go to school here. It's about time for something new though. Arizona is calling my name in the future. What's wrong with the people in cali?

Busy body liberals, they like to regulate everything, way to PC, hypocritical, and love to bankrupt cities. That's to name just a few things. Cali Sucks.

Didn't buy the Z because of the chic part. 3rd gear in my wrx blew up from 6 years of me beating the crap out of it (blouch 20g 344hp/348tq on cobbs dyno). So it was going to be anywhere from $2-$6k to fix the transmission.

I said I had enough and sold it for $7k, and took that money to put down on the Z.

BMW turned me down for financing on a new M2 as my credit was shot at that point in time, so a friend of mine knew the finance manager at Nissan of Portland, I jumped online, saw a midnight blue Z, always wanted a blue 2 door sports car, made the call, went down the next morning signed papers and that was that.

I didn't realize that chics even cared about the car til I started getting compliments once a week. I keep it excessively clean as dark colors show just about everything (nightmare). My theory is chics think it's faster/more expensive than it really is, and you just don't see very many 2 door vehicles in Oregon that are not mustangs/camero's, and the color just isn't common. Here everyone wants an suv/cuv/truck/subaru outback/boring pod cars like the leaf/prius/fit (barf).

As far as bikes go, I would commit a felony within a week if I owned one. I just do not have the physical self control to drive one. My father did have a bike when I was a kid, somehow the transmission locked up at 75mph, he laid it down and slid a long distance, lots of hospital visits, skin grafs, meds, etc. My mom kept the bloody jeans. So every time I brought up getting a bike, she would pull out those bloody jeans and I decided I'll stick with cars at an early age. Maybe it's a lame excuse but the car doesn't push me to temp fate. Too many things can go wrong on bikes, many of which are not in your control. Much respect to riders, just watching those mulholland drive videos still makes me question if getting one would be a good idea or not!

I would love it if we could have a new s2k but for taller people without the over styling, otherwise I'll stick with the Z, it's just fun enough for some turns, and just boring enough to keep me from doing things that I shouldn't do (the wrx encouraged bad things).

Back to topic: Any predictions when this over styled thing will start to go away?

Zingston 08-12-2017 08:31 PM

Maybe you should try off road bikes. I wouldn't touch a street bike where I live for the same bloody jeans reason, however I have a blast on my KTM 250. Lots of fun, and less painful when you bail.

I like the Z because there just isn't another car aside from a 911 that looks anything like it for the money. Everything here in Oregon is "Me tooooo" wrx/sti, mustang, camaro, etc vehicles.

Mustang = just too many of them/don't like the hat wearing punks that gravitate towards them / questionable quality, get the gt350 or don't bother.

Wrx/Sti = get pulled over once a month / people try to race you every day / attracts dudes, not hot blond chicks / money pit / understeer

Camaro = I actually like the camaro, but it's just too large of a vehicle and I'm not even sure it would fit in my garage, plus, too many of them on the roads

Porsche = too expensive to daily drive, but obviously it's precision german pu$$y!

Brz/Frs = unreliable if you want to go forced induction/not worth the money/too common

Miata/Fiat = sorry, still a chic car/too small/not a daily driver, but a cheap track car, but I'd feel like a wimp picking up a girl on a date in one.

VW Gti/R = Nice car, but I don't trust VW/German brands unless you plan to lease it for 24-36 months and then walk away, but an APR tune on one of these is very tempting, but still worried about reliability

Audi/BMW = too expensive/too heavy/too common/ attracts gold digger chics. I'm a fan of the updated RS3, that would be fun with an APR tune, but again, not sure on the reliability factor. Audi = under-steer. M2 seems like the only one to have, but here in Portland we have Kuni bmw and I've just heard too many horror stories about them, especially after my neighbor worked for them

Lexus = It's ironic but their styling is starting to look more reserved and age better if you want a black colored vehicle to help mask the front, which means you better have $3500 to clear bra the entire vehicle or you like spending 8 hours a week buffing/polishing/glaze/wax/going insane. If someone can make a high quality less stupid looking aftermarket from bumper for their vehicles, it would probably be my next daily (not sure on model yet).

Nissan = outside of the 370, I dislike the entire rest of the lineup, and I'd never daily a gtr or even spend that much on a car unless a pile of money drops out of the sky. The CVT's are BS... you know the rest...

Toyota = Tacoma, used is in my future!!!

Ha ha, totally agree with your Nissan comment... When I was buying my car and sitting in the showroom playing the car buying game I was looking at their entire line up of cars and was thinking the same thing. Who in their right mind would buy a Nissan?! All their cars minus the Z and the GTR are butt ugly! I'd see customers walk in and wonder what the hell is wrong with them. Lol :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

I dont care who can beat me, I have nothing to prove with my Z. Constant compliments about it all the time!

Same here. I don't even know what our 0-60 times are and could care less. The car is just plain fun to drive and that's all that counts for me.

Neek 08-14-2017 11:21 AM

Lol I don't know why everyone is so surprised...Best Motoring's video in 2014 already proved that a type r can handle its own and even beat a Z.

Evo X vs Type R vs 370z vs Elise

MaysEffect 08-14-2017 12:09 PM

This argument can stop at these two things -

1- 35k for a FWD car - NO
2- 20!! inch wheels on FWD car - NO
and the cherry on top - http://blogmedia.dealerfire.com/wp-c...ger-Side_o.jpg

If you are the type of person that gravitates towards flaming red cloth seats and brofiber dash trim. Then.....I'm sure this is not even a discussion for you. The Nurburgring lap record shouldn't change your opinion one way or another in this case.

I personally judge all cars by the quality and design of the interior. This is where I...the driver spend the majority of time viewing....driving the car. If there is fake flashy cheesy designs here, i can't care how good a car drives or looks on the outside, i'm not buying it. The steering wheel looks cheap and probably weird to hold, which is a major turn off. THE ONLY reason i got the G37 over the Z is because of the steering wheel and steering column length was just that much off for my driving position to be comfortable daily, now that i have another daily driver i'm tempted to trade in now for the Z. Brofiber and flaming red seats would have been a major hell no. In either case, the design and simplicity of the Z and G37 interior is way better.

Although i like the design of the type R, its way too "tuner bro", and although i'm relatively young, i'm too old for that crap, i'm sure some of you feel that way as well. The car is for rich kids with rich parents, plain and simple. There isn't a single person in the world that would actually be happy owning this longer than a year...if that.
I'd like to smash it around a track and give it back after a session of thrashing, no way in hell would i own it. The Z and the G37 are great touring and daily cars. This type R is a clown car with capability of hauling some bags and friends around, really....what is going on with all this stuff >
https://hips.hearstapps.com/amv-prod...s-original.jpg

Inspired by zoid much? 3 exhaust tips!!! And i thought the MK7 R quad tips was stupid. Atleast with the Golf R and Focus RS we have a form of AWD and it doesn't totally look like it came out a EDM concert of acid.

Cali is car and motorcycle heaven though outside of the city. You've never actually turned your car until you've driven in the Santa Monica mountains and then down to the beach!. The views and weather alone make it worth living here. It's really a love hate relationship. I mainly just hate all the people here, lol!

I bet it'd be fun to live there. I could imagine how great the views are. I love the beach. I've never seen the beaches in cali but I've been to Florida, Hawaii, and Mexico beaches

*Feels stuck in Cali.... no way out (despair sets in).

Ergo,

*Decides to defend all of California as if it's nothing but awesome.


Lol... just kidding bro.... if you like California, that's cool. I'm just saying it's not for me anymore.

Rock on!

....An modded Z, Mine is stock except for the fast intentions. I really enjoy the reliability of my car. With the turbo and suspension mods, I am sure it would smoke that R.

well yeah money can make any car fast lol but if you take it stock for stock, you can't deny the performance from the type r.

MaysEffect 08-14-2017 10:07 PM

If you never been beat by a Honda at auto-x, you must be an amazing driver or only auto-x at small events?

I frequent a lot of NorCal Autocrosses and I don't see any fast 370z. Only fast Z is the STU 350Z.
