Explain these numbers: Carrera S vs 370Z

dad

I think this quarter mile stuff is a crock of ****! Their GT cars, or Sports cars, not dragsters! Put them on a road course where they belong, and were made for! Then we will see who wins!

1. They're not Their.
2. The acceleration numbers were brought up by someone else. For the sake of this discussion I brought up my personal experience.
3. I think prius is a pile of sh!t and all its drivers are douchebags yet you always see them on the road and continue seeing them. 1/4 mile is **** of sh!t but people will take any car including Z and the prius to 1/4 mile and see what they do...

Their-possessive pronoun, used before a noun(cars)!

This quarter mile stuff- the car manufacture use, they know that it will influence people to buy their car. A car that is one second, or two seconds faster,BFD!

"Their GT cars, or Sports cars, not dragsters!"

This may also be read as: They are GT cars, or sports cars, not dragsters!

Perhaps you meant: Their cars are GT cars, or Sports cars, not dragsters!

This is the370z.com though not theGrammarZone.com so I'll just be quite.

370Zsteve

Thank you... It is sad/annoying that some people don't know the difference between they're/their, you're/your etc...

I don't know about you guys, but I cannot justify the price of a Porsche. 99% of them are built the same way most cars are which is through a mass production line. Depending on what body panels and parts go on it, it determines whether it turns into a convertible or not or etc...

The only thing you pay for with the increased price is better materials and for the name.

Porsches are just like Apple Iphones, they are over priced for what you get. There are tons of other phones out there that has similar features for less.

It would be different for me if I was filthy rich. If I was rich then I wouldn't mind buying a Porsche.

If the iPhone analogy holds for the Porsche, I'm buying a Porsche. Other phones have similar features but none integrate them as seamlessly and have the aesthetic appeal as the iPhone. Porsche is probably the same.

I don't know about that. I have bought 2 iphones and yet I am still more pleased with the features on an android phone then any iphone I have ever touched.

If I can afford a 100k Porsche, I would take a ZR-1 over a 100k Porsche.

Zsteve

and a prius owner can say the same thing, they are all made the same so why pay more money for the Z. You still dont get the concept of having alot of money and nothing to spend it on I think.

Lets look at it this way: A guy buys a porsche over a 370z for the same reason a guy buys a 370Z over a honda civic. Style points.

If you read my last comment then you can see I do understand what you are saying. Prius is far from a sports car. If I wanted to go green then a prius would be one of the options. But it isn't. Sports car for sports car, If I had the money for a porsche, I would buy a corvette over a porsche. If I only had two options between the prius and the porsche, of course I would take a porsche.

My point is that some of you guys make it sound like the fit and finish is 10 times better than a 370z. To me I the 370z's fit and finish is pretty good as it is. The difference is just the materials. A porsche just has a better feel on everything. That is only one of the reasons why it costs more.

You don't need to be "filthy rich" to buy the Porsche, just reasonably affluent. Now tell me, what is "filthy" about being rich?

Zaggeron

My mom told me never put money in my mouth 'cause it's dirty -- being handled by so many people. Very rich people take baths in their money hence "filthy" rich.
