Former Z Owner's Rant about the 370z

NYBladeZ · 04-18-2012, 11:51 AM

So you highlighted my quote but disregarded the part about "I highly doubt it though"? I don't believe I ever said it was crappy by any means, please don't be ignorant. Anyways guys I think I'm going to lock the thread, I want to thank the members who repped me bc of it but I don't want it to steamroll into a troll fest.

If I had to be the fastest I'd probably want a GTR but I am likely one of the true "haters" of the GTR on here. Its blazing fast but no "soul" quoting HP and performance stats won't put a smile on my face like the Z did. Now if the GTR had a manual option I'd be all over it. I know I know I'm extremely picky and want a car that is fast, handles great, looks great, and makes me smile all the time while driving.

I'm completely with you on this one. IF they offered a manual option then maybe... and a facelift lol

BTW.. given your last sentence here... you sound like a perfect candidate for an M3

Well then what you need is the up and coming Skyline

Infiniti working on 530-HP twin-turbo IPL model for G

If it comes to fuition here in the States it will be interesting to see where the final sticker price falls. It will be canabalizing their own sales with the GT-R unless of course they take away the rear seats from the GT-R to make it even lighter and faster.

3 buddies already have one, otherwise I would be tempted by the darkside. Then again, they all got M's because it is a great car. I would love a 1M but good luck finding one.

Haus!

I might just have to hoard cash and wait till the 25 year rule applies to the R34 Skyline. Honestly though guys, the lotus I drove today, I found out it has the Blade 300 kit, giving it 300hp at crank...it was amazing.

true

Try living in Jacksonville where apparently it is extremely difficult to drive on a straight road and not get in an accident. It is ridiculous here. Too many drivers suffering from I-95 deliria I guess.

people in LA are all too self absorbed

new genesis 3.8 still isnt faster, in case anyone thinks it is. 5.0 0-60.. its about the same, with guaranteed crappier handling, and thats ALREADY with boost

The boosted gen does it in 6 seconds. The 3.8 v6 does it in 5. But there 5 is pushing it out to 5. Pushing it out we are in the mid 4's.
