the new 370z - really that fast?

the car makes perfect sense! i am also considering the old 350z since there's probably hella deals on them right now.

I hope you don't just look at it...

I certainly hope you aren't implying that if you buy the sports car and do not drive that fast on public roads, you are simply buying it to look at.
