Not trying to take away from the car at all, for the price, it's amazing. Just saying that there is a bit of fine print that comes with that performance.

Are you talking about the laguna secs boss? Because the pzeros n the regular boss aren't far off from anything on any regular performance car.

American Muscle is starting to get old. The only person right now that has a good muscle car is.. i hate to say it but ford. the new 5.0 or boss. anything else is a let down. New camaro, overated. New challenger, weight to power is poor, handling is ehh. Charger, nothing good. Vette, to many on the road.

IMO, from owning both sides and driving a lot of really cool cars. Theirs nothing like any car thats... not american lol. The fit and finish is beyond any pos american cars. the performace is beyond any ameriacn muscle car. ive driven many exotic and crazily built cars and it doesnt come close to any american car.

If you want a F'n fun car and are willing to pay for it, buy a used C63 AMG Benz. By FAR one of my fav cars that i would DD. 450HP w a 4 door car (the new 2 door is ugly) way to much fun. and it has a 6.3 V8! lol handling isnt like a z tho

Nothing is going to replace a Z and yet give you the increased seating, etc. It's about feel. You can find plenty of cars that turn similar numbers on the track, but none will feel like the 370Z that have 4 seats. A base V6 mustang turns similar numbers at VIR and on the dragstrip, but it doesn't feel anything like a 370Z.

new they are around 60k i believe

I would just get a used one for like 35-40.

the coupe doesnt look that good IMO the 4dr looks like a crazy sleeper

Pushing_Tin · 09-15-2011, 01:00 PM

You can pick up a lightly used AMG for less than half new. Well over 500hp.

atx370z · 09-15-2011, 01:08 PM

If i felt like paying $900+ a month for a car.. I would have that Merc right now.

NYBladeZ · 09-15-2011, 01:13 PM

Still I wouldn't want to be in a C63 and have to hit an apple on the apex of a turn.
