88 is a lot and that's not the only difference between the 996 and the 370Z. The Porsche is on a completely different level.

Yeah, there's definitely more of a difference than just the horsepower. . .the 996 Turbo would have been the pinnacle of Porsche's road and racing engineering for the 911 in the early 2000's.

Probably a Porche. But we'll see what Nissan has to offer in 3 years.

KingJoseph 09-21-2012 06:05 PM

Saving for the next gen BMW M3/4 (whatever they decide to call the coupe). I'm on my second Z and I've loved both cars, but all of the rumors point toward Nissan going soft for the next generation and making the Z more entry level. Hope the rumor mill is wrong, but it wouldn't shock me. If anything, I'd want the next Nismo to break 400hp stock and lose some weight.

Maybe il buy a brown cube. I heard someone in the forums has expertise with that one :rofl2:

It was a 2010 with the supercharged 3.0. The dealership wont have any '13s until mid-October. Same engine though.

Hmmm they aren't all that beastly. Especially when compared with a blown 370z

luigi90210 09-21-2012 09:16 PM

im hoping nissan will release an all electric Z or a turbo diesel Z, those would be major torque monsters(especially the electric Z)
but if they dont than probably a gtr or something

whats wrong with an all electric Z?
i can guarantee you that it will be much faster in an 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile than most petrol based cars will be, and it will be easier to mod and maintain because you only have 1 moving part

you should look up white zombie, that car is a 10sec all electric datsun 510

oh and if you think turbo diesel is slow, clearly you havent driven the audi suv with the v12 twin turbo diesel making over 700hp

Mannysrt8 09-22-2012 01:40 AM

I often see here that some members in this forum write their own sarcastic, rude, and pretty impolite replies without paying enough attentions for what they're doing!!

In that case, any member actually had better really keep silence just with his own social skills because it might do harm to him when showing a complaint to others in a group - it would result in hostility or even emotional attacks!!

I had already sent my personal msg to my honorable administrator, AK370Z, that I want him to delete my two articles, but still no response or delete at all as the dictator never really communicates with his people :thumbup:

Anyway, I had better not (and really will not) write any post here, rather just see other's ones. Now I even got scared how if the administrator kick me off when he got pissed off and take advantage of his absolute power!! :p

* If anyone feels annoying or uncomfortable witj this s***ing post, PLEASE remember that I also can have the same bad feeling for others' s***ing ones in a forum.

As a result, we need to be careful for each other to keep good-mannered, don't we? :confused:

i dont really understand your post, im just letting him know that he should always keep an open mind when it comes to cars, just cause it looks and sounds slow, doesnt mean it is slow

A-Train 09-23-2012 04:39 AM

Probably a TDI. That is, once I get the speed out of my system. Gas mileage is king.

dirtrat 09-23-2012 10:24 AM

Just bought a new 2013 (4 Cylinder) Honda Accord EX-L with Nav. Got the upgraded Honda wheels and spoiler. I needed a four door with good gas milage and reliability and this car fit the bill. Completely redesigned transmission and engine and 36+ miles per gallon. I'm keeping my Z and still drive it but it's nice to have another car for the longer drives.

zentropy 09-23-2012 10:44 AM

Audi A3 And The Focus RS. Of CoursE Waiting To See What's In Store For The Next Z.

Redglare 09-23-2012 01:01 PM

How do I drive across the country in an electric car ? They take hours to charge... I like going on epic road trips and I cna't do that in an electric sports car so no thank you .

My next car will be a hearse as I plan on keeping the Z until the lights go out for good. :driving:

Shamu 09-24-2012 09:02 AM

I'm thinking Porsche 997 4.0 GTS model. Or 997 GT3 RS

UNKNOWN_370 09-24-2012 09:57 AM

Its hard to say which car i will get in next because of the next gen technology shift in cars. I'm hoping, mostly to be in the NEXT-GEN Z. If it ******* up and goes up the GT ladder instead of the sport ladder? Then it will be a rival performer to current cars like the 135i, and upcoming turbo4 328is coupe. I might get more out of the bimmer dollar for dollar as nissan pricing quickly escalates??? We'll see??? Bimmer reliability is still questionable though...
I want to modify an FI car. I miss my FD and NA gets stale after a while. Turbos are more fun & ALOT CHEAPER TO MOD.
I'm also considering AWD. EVO WRX possibly a used GTR, or a camaro ZL1 and take 300lbs off it??? Or maybe a next gen mustang or camaro if they come with an FI option? IF Volvo's 451hp awd polestar comes out??? I may do that? Rumor has it the next infiniti G will be 3400lbs n FI???? May go back to infiniti???? I'm just hoping for the best with the Z but sadly expecting the worst... Lets see what they do next first before i decide???

Rone 09-24-2012 10:20 AM

My next car is probably going to be the GT-R, if they're still making it by the time I can get one (I'm talking 5-6 years). I'm kind of a nissan/infiniti fanboy; I've had one since I could drive. If I understand correctly and they take a break from making the GT-R (and I can't get a used one with low miles) I'll jump back to infiniti. A lot of things could change in 5 years, though...

I hadn't given it much thought until I read this thread.

I suppose it depends on how heavily I decide to mod the Z. If I decide to pull the trigger on a GTM TT and exhaust solution, the point will be moot for quite a long time. I'd be compelled to own the car a LONG time to justify that kind of expense.

If I decide to just lightly mod the car with CAI/exhaust, I'll probably trade it for a Porsche Cayman R eventually. That $70k area is honestly the ceiling for me....I'm just not willing to spend more than that on a car.

ok, than wouldnt diesel be the better choice if they made a turbo diesel Z?

diesel will give you more torque and it will take you twice as far as petrol ever will

and you act as if you wouldnt stop at a hotel or something on your "epic road trip" which btw you can charge your car up there over night
