Said Bye to the Z tonight!

elmz · 11-16-2010, 01:37 PM

The CRZ's are nice, I've seen some really clean fixed up ones on the Internet. I have been considering this myself. Good luck!

SO...um...what's the trend with dumping 300+whp vehicles for 150BHP vehicles? I have started something

CRZ = 122hp

Honestly if Honda had made it with 180-200hp they might have something worth looking at but at 122hp it's just too slow to be considered a "sports hybrid" like they advertise. Still, I think the styling is great, just wish it had more power.

I know its heresy, but I've been thinking about trading out the Z for another Jeep. Kinda tired of the 6MT, visibility, scraping the nose everywhere, worrying about the white interior...

The thing is, when you ride sportbikes all the time, even the Z isn't particularly fast.

Who knows.

so true. When I got my bike license earlier this year and rode my first bike (06 CBR 600RR), the Z lost its speed appeal.

I've never seen so many odd trades in my life as in this forum. I guess I'm used to the G35/G37 forums where people stay with similar cars... upgrade to GTRs or goto something like a BMW 3 Series coupe. But a Honda CR-Z???? That just makes NO sense. I could see if you preferred a competitors car or needed a truck or SUV for size... but this is such an odd change.

Either way, good luck with it!

Zaggeron · 11-16-2010, 08:00 AM

Sorry to see your Nismo go mdbrich. Have fun with your new car.

m4a1mustang · 11-16-2010, 08:05 AM

Good luck with the CRZ. It's a sharp looking car.

To everyone else: Not everyone is primarily concerned about power and speed. I bet you 75% of Z owners (the ones not registered on this forum) didn't even consider the 370 for its power or handling.

ProfessorDave · 11-16-2010, 09:01 AM

It certainly has the unique aspect to it. I completely get the trade. When I get it into my head that I have to have a certain car, it doesn't matter how it compares to my current car.

shadoquad · 11-16-2010, 09:20 AM

I don't like the CRZ personally, but I could see why one would make the trade from a balls-out, impractical sports car to a practical, roomier, putt-putter.

I hope you enjoy the Honda, though! And I hope you'll stick around here to joke with us once in a while.
