at your modification level on your S2k your buyer pool is probably pretty small.

probably the reason Lou still has his 370TT

True, but who doesn't want want an 800 hp s2000 that's more reliable than most new cars?

Because Z4 is only a few grand more? And chicks digs BMW more than Nissan

As Jeremy Clarkson says: "If you drive the Nissan, you won't be invited to a wife swapping party."

Z: 31,200 - 47,730

Z4: 47,000 - 62,000

Just comparing base MSRP, I think 15k is more than a few grand.

all girls give oral... just my .02 to this thread... if not


if gas is 3.50 and it costs 45 dollars to fill up or if its 5.00 and it costs 65 to fill up, I am going to pay it...

there are so many other things that we bend over and get raped on, but people love to complain about gas...

as for the guy who wants a juke or altima. I just had a juke loaner and driving it spiritedly it got me about 22-23 around town and 30-33 hwy , my Z gets me 15-17 around town and 25-28 on the highway with my 4.08 final drive... not much difference where you will see any real gains...

get a early 90s civic to save gas/money

Default Europeans pay more because...

European nations pay more for gas in part because they have the VAT (Valued Added Tax) and socialist governments that don't believe in freedom. They don't believe in allowing their people to decide what, when, and how they drive but coerce them into accepting their vision of what people should do through tax codes and policies. It forces the masses to comply, meaning they are not free, but naturally the wealthy and ruling classes can still afford the gas. If someone wants to pay more, then give the clerk more money but leave the rest of us alone. What on earth happened to the rugged individualist? (They are driving the Z?)

The reason I didn't buy one is because I view it as underpowered in today's $40K sports-car world.

i'm good with having a unique car, as long as Nissan is selling enough Z's to keep making them, i like turning heads.
if i wanted to be like everyone else i would've got a Mustang or something

Yeah true! if you head to cardomain.com you can see there are like 3,000 350z and only about 100 370z. Well thats a good thing, it makes our cars exclusive and special. I've yet to seen a 370 riced out, It seems to catch another market.

Here we go again with exclusive. The 370Z is NOT exclusive. A Veyron is exclusive... 370... not at all.

Somewhat rare... yes, depending on your location.

Are you implying that the average person could just show up at a dealership with a few grand, and walk away with a brand new $26000 car? Simply preposterous.
