In closing thanks for helping to keep our economy limping along. :tiphat:

Hahahahahaaaaa.... awesome! :tup: you're welcome.

Reread your highlight dude... 1969? Come on man. I'm not talking about one model. I mean the philosophies between east and west. While america made cars like a 73 buick riviera. Which is large. Datsun was bringin a line of small fuel efficient cars to the US. America didn't start making smaller efficient cars till the 80's. And I am not counting garbabgemobiles like the 70's pinto mustang II and all the other stupid small car concoctions america made in the 70's.

America was trying to make cars double as cruise ships or something back then. Lol

If the Nissan guys REALLY wanted to compete with the Cayman, they'd put the engine in the right place.


The simple fact is the Z competes with just about anything people cross-shop it with. The mustang/Z-car rivalry has been in place for a long time, along with a host of other rivalries that have been picked up over the years (like the Supra)

yep

Not if that allows someone to knock out high-interest debt when the car-loan is 0% or near it.

That would have to be a lot of high interest debt. :icon14:

I have a question now that you are a Mustang owner. Do the other Mustang owners get super sensitive about the 370z? It seems like anything with the word Mustang here gets people all fired up, is it like that with the Mustang crowd or is the key word different (Camero, Charger or Corvette to them).

370Z doesn't get talked about much at all on the Mustang boards to be honest. :icon17: If it does come up it's usually in passing.

The 60's mustang was light, and a 6-cylinder to boot.

I saw it debated strongly on one forum. It was given decent respect. Corral.net or something.

That's been my experience. The only real 370Z talk I saw on the one I frequent was my intro thread. Lots of comments and questions about my outgoing 370Z. It gets respect over there, far more than the Mustang gets respect over here. And they don't seem to get stressed out and freak about it like 370Z guys do about the 5.0 here. :bowrofl:

The general consensus is, "another car to choose from in this price range? Cool!"

That's what I thought. The extra 70HP really gives some of the guys insecurity.

Btw, RX-8 guys used to be like that with the 350. Anything with the word 350 they flip out!

Wait you are worried about an aftermarket oil/tranny cooler install voiding your warranty but you are gonna install a turbo?

Seems like if you would want your car as near to being paid off for if you are gonna do something like a turbo that would completely void your warranty. Wreck your tranny and go to the dealer with a turbo installed and see if they will cover it. LOL
