you didn't hear everything he had to say.

The full sentence was "your Z ain't shyt compared to my mustang 4.6's....favorite car, the veyron. It is, however, a very nice ride for the price"

I think jealousy comments are funny. Guess it really depends on circles you travel in? None of my friends are jealous of a low cost entry level Japanese sports car? If anything I get the "why would you drive a cheap kids car" look from guys who drive Porsches, BMWs , etc.

See and guys that would say something like that are elitist azzholes and furthermore, get em on a track and what excuses will they have then when you straightt keepin' up or even winning?

You've never been around a Porsche at a track have u...?

U don't outrun a Porsche (save for a base boxster or Cayman) at a track. That's why people buy them....

Tell me more about how the z could keep up with a base 997 or 991....

I mean guys, i love my z. And on a straight, it could MAYBE keep up. On a corner, it's game over. I'm not going off stats.. I've driven a buuunch of porsches. Owned 1, and currently have 1 sitting in my parents garage. Guys, they are THAT good. Why do u think they cost that much more? Just for the hell of it?

Porsche doesn't screw around when it comes to handling. Then again, is the Z an actually good handling car? I always felt that the power on the Z was great, the handling was good, but not as "on rails" as people described they would be. There is a bit of understeer :ughdance:
My buddy's Toyota boxster MR2 feels like it handles better than the Z sometimes.

easily fixed by a swaybar as far as understeer goes in the Z.

:confused: I've never felt any understeer.

Or drop a couple of pounds of air pressure in the rear tires.

"Looks like a Porsche" Now I find that insulting. The Z's @ss and hips are like J-Lo in her prime, good lift, tight, well rounded. Porsche, all hips, droopy ***. JK, I'm still trying to think of an insult. Maybe calling it a poor mans Porsche, I would rephrase that as "The working Man's Porsche. Maybe if the base price was $25k.

:iagree:

I second this, only ever drove one Porsche but it was on rails and stock... my Z handles like 1970 caprice compared to it.

Not in my Z. but I seen cayman's lose to lesser cars a few times. I never driven against one, but not scared to either once all my suspension mods are done.

Come on with all that upgrades you did!!?? You can think better than that. I mean with the caprice comparo.:icon18:

Driver skill plays a major role too. I beginner in a Porsche is probably not gonna beat an experienced driver in a Z.

Idk, my Step Dad has a Cayman S, I wouldn't call the difference significant, but it is there.

I know and :iagree:

lol... yeah ok. Maybe you just don't have enough skill behind your Z?????

Dude I seen an Evo destroy a Cayman and I've put a hurtin' on modded Evo's soooo???? That leaves a strong skill question.

Today I was told...oh your's is not a Nismo.

:ugh2:

I just smiled, figured that was the best I could do.

:roflpuke2:

Where is the "What is the Best Compliment You have ever receive about your Z?" I cant find it!

remember if it wasnt for the jap cars americans would still be building crap and if it wasnt for there machines there wouldnt be any harlys.

Just got my Z a little over a month ago. Every female that sees it calls it "cute". Really? If it was a Fiat 500 maybe, but.....

Not an insult but the other day an old guy came up to me and said "nice Z, is that a 240?"

My sister said it looks like a mitsibishi eclipse........uggg!

For shame!

I have a coworker who says the GTR looks like those. :icon14: And that the Z looks like an Altima coupe.

I'm dealing out my own insult to all of us:

lol!

today some hater at work asked me "dont only menopausal women who smoke a lot drive a z". Take into consideration she drives a saturn sky which is light blue...lol. I replied when she is ready to be in a real sports car to let me know but bring a backup pair of underwear.

lol damn fools underestimating the Z driving a POS.

Did you tell her she's behaving menopausally?

That they were jelous they didn't drive it....but I offered. :icon18:

no insults. bc where i live most people have nothing but mustanggt/challengers/camaro. i guess they know. the z stands out so much. to bad im trying to trade it in for an X. (let the haters begin)

Sounds like she described sky owners as well as PT cruiser owners.:icon17:

Saturn sky isn't even a real anything to be talking that crap.Sure the engine is a good tuner. But the suspension has to be re-built from scratch to be worth throwing on a track. The RWD that understeers so much it should've been FWD... lol. I can go on for days on a car like that. I'd make her feel so small. lol. Then tell her lets get on a track... NOOOOWWWWWW!!! lol

If you don't get it on the road. Then talk about your X here. We have plenty ready to shoot it down. lol The x is a awesome car. GL attaining one.

well where I work it's BMW and Audi, BMW 328, audi a4, a6 even some huge BMW 750. They all basically have the same thing to say, "why did you buy that?" and my response is always the same. "I'm only trying to make myself and the honey in the passeger seat happy". Besides one co-worker bought a brand new 328I, says it's something like 265hp but he put no money down and pays 815/month and his total price was 53k. he's cool not your typical BMW driver but my god I can't believe they even financed him with no money down, thats ridiculous. thats a joke to me. I bought mine used with 5k on it my monthly is $281 which is like not even having a car payment. I'd rather not pay for a name plus I'm pretty sure mine smokes those cars anyway.

Probably stuck him with a high interest rate......so more money for them.

What kind of bodykit is on your 350z?

coming from a 5.0 driver that goes to my school

Co-worker: "Sounds like your exhaust can use an improvement." Sounded kinda weak when you left the other day." (it's stock)

Me: "Go park your Boxster back in the mid-life-crisis-parking-area with the other Beetles. Parking it next to my car doesn't help yours on any level." (Note: it's an '02)




For anyone who's seen my post about it in another thread, there are 6 Boxsters where I work. Well, 2 are actually Caymans, but I started this sentence improperly and didn't want to use the BACKSPACE key to say 4 Boxsters and 2 Caymans because I'm a rebel.

Suck it.

My imaged response: "It's actually rare to find. I found it on Rice-A-Rony.com. They call it the 'Mare-Stealer'. How's the Mexi-stang running?"


/I actually love most cars, including Mustangs. I just hate a$sh0les.
