All you did was waste your money on bigger boobs and a prettier face. Our women spend more time in the kitchen, and in the bed, where that stuff doesn't matter! Hell, our women cook and clean just as well as the the more expensive women!

Plus, if you were going to start dating a women and already planned to get her cosmetic surgery, you wasted your money even more!

Am I doing it right?

wishihadnav 03-02-2010 04:04 PM

bigger boobs is never a waste of money.

haha. i heard that the surgically enhanced female body parts are more for looks and not very practical just like the body parts on the nismo, (ie you can damage them if you're not careful) :)

in the end, you can't lose if you pick a fairlady or a fairlady with enhanced body parts :)

I like where this thread is going! :)

Personally, I'd say with his shoddy comparison, HE was the one making it seem like anything OTHER than the NISMO was worthless.

Yeah and all your saying is anything other then a base/sport is worthless so your not any different then him. You spent 3K extra for a sport package and I spent a few more for nismo package, So what? Who doesn;t like big boobs? Seriously, is it really your business how people spend their money, nope. End of story. Obviously we all bought the Z for similar and different reasons, accept it and move, the e-bashing is childish. Oh and you forgot nismo wheels too. LOL :tup:

What are you talking about? This topic is about boobs.

NewlyIMPORTed 03-03-2010 03:05 PM

i think bigger boobs can lead to better performance

vipor 03-03-2010 03:09 PM

:iagree:

Better performance out of me!

NewlyIMPORTed 03-03-2010 03:11 PM

talk about a butt dyno

G Fo12ce 03-03-2010 03:27 PM

This turned into a pissing match, I think I'm over it lol. MightyBobo lets squash it.

They specialize in butt dyno's in Brazil right?

NewlyIMPORTed 03-03-2010 03:31 PM

yeah but their pott holes are huge

You're starting to sound like those neighbors of mine who drive a Hummer... actually, I should say my ex-neighbors, as they lost their house due to buying stuff they couldn't afford :bs:

roplusbee 03-04-2010 02:06 AM

Wow this thread went south. So what happened with the boobs and butt dynos?

Obviously, the answer is no.

And of course the people who spent more will think its sour grapes lol.

No, in this case, the $40000 Rolex does keep time better than $33000 one. The Nismo has much better suspension, aero parts, wheels, more power/torque, better seats, body dampers. So its not just the same rolex with a titanium case. Which means for you Nismo haters, SOUR GRAPES!

Hey Vipor - care to put your input on this? Im not going to bother since, god forbid, I'm not a NISMO owner (BTW, G Fo12ce, I had definitely squashed anything with you or the rest of the thread for that matter, but this guy takes the cake...). The fact that you actually listed aero parts makes me chuckle, though...

He just meant the body kit, which, visually, is the defining trait of the Nismo imo. And from the prices of these pieces individually, it's definitely the biggest chunk of the "value' of the Nismo.

I'd certainly hope so, because ANY performance gain from them is practically non-existent at best...

Now, if he was saying its a performance gain? Yeahhhhh....

IIRC, someone did some sort of aerodynamics test on the Nismo wing and saw a decrease in whatever measurement helps go faster at higher speeds.

Sorry for the complete lack of intellectual terms.

BOLD: Not true

It has a "different" exhaust. I wouldn't even necessarily call it "better." It does sound better, but every single aftermarket exhaust trumps the Nismo exhaust.

The seats are just the regular cloth seats with custom stitching. Hell, the 40th has the same accent stitching on leather.

The suspension upgrades are minimal.. struts and springs. It's noticeable for sure, but there are better products all over the place. While the dampers probably help with some chassis rigidity, they are not touted as such. Supposedly they're more for vibration than anything.

The only "upgrades" that cannot be contested are the body kit, wheels, and the exclusivity of the car (numbered).

Psh, not holding anything against you for that. You're thinking of the coefficient of drag. The difference was minuscule at best. And probably questionable.

vipor 03-04-2010 08:38 AM

That drag coefficient is what enables it to provide downforce.

My girlfriend says I have a great drag coefficient, in that case.

mick 03-04-2010 09:25 AM

i don't know about the aerodynamic of the wing but to date, it seems to attract Audi S4, Corvette C6, Mustang v8, Acura NSX, Porsche Cayman, etc... :)

of course, maybe the wingless 370z would also attract those crowd too, where i live :)

As in...make them want to race? Or get them to look?

I remember I test drove an RX-8 when they were brand new and still looked cool. I didnt even get 200 feet down the road in the test drive, and someone was trying to coax me into a race with their Camaro SS. For some reason, right then, I knew it was not the car for me.

i think the nismo body kit makes them think it's a fast car and the drivers of those cars are always looking to challenge other fast cars.

unfortunately for them, i am a slow driver in a fast-looking car :)

Rofl. Yeah, wings will tend to do that...Ive driven past many an import and domestic similar to those. Either a quick nod/wave was about all that happened...no racing attempts. Probably a good thing, seeing as all of those cars would smoke us, barring plenty of mods...

I found myself laughing way too much the other day (I was a lil baked). Driving down a 3+3 50mph road (state hwy) and I look around and see a early 2000's Z28, a GT from the same time period and a brand new GT. I just cracked up because the mustangs were revving and **** and I knew I could beat them. Didn't feel like making myself look like an *** though, so I just laughed and they sped away.

Jesus, old 4.6L's and even the new ones are f-ing dogs stock...and hell, even modded to an extent...
