Rober that's awesome and coming from an intelligent person not from a Boy!

As I said before DONT WASTE TIME ON THIS IDIOT. He is just playing around. You know one of those who really Can't afford a car but just read the magazines and pissed off everyone. Ignore this Idiot Mook. th name Mook is already a start don't you think?

stag3 · 08-09-2009, 12:07 AM

welp looks like no 370z for me, my car came in, went to drive it, awesome car , 19 miles on her. walk in to work out #'s.

i had already got a quote from danny at fontana nissan for 31,419 +ttl for the car (base pearl white with sport package, 6spd, splash guards, floor and trunk mats ). he was great to deal with, i guess the owner/gm didn't want the sale as they tried to make up the diff back in my trade-in.

here is the nada
Base Price $15,050 $16,250 $17,225 $20,150
------------ rough -- average-- clean--- retail

now the offers i've gotten in trade in from mitsubishi are 16.9
and lexus offered me 17k for my ms3

i waited to long and all the silver evo's are gone now

and i decided i didn't want to drive an automatic

didn't care about the apr as i was going to finance thru my credit union for 4.98%
only the bottom line prices mattered. well they offered me 12.5k lol i said you guys are giving me trade-in on a regular mazda3 hatchback, they came back with 13.5k and that was the highest they could go. if they gave me anywhere near what the other dealers were offering, i would have driven home in her.

i guess i can try to private party sell my car, but by then it will be gone as i waited about 3 mos for this one to arrive. good luck to everyone else looking.
to bad i couldn't get one :\

Well ......... he got lots hits.....but then, that was the intention.

Santent · 08-09-2009, 11:19 AM

the s2000 is one of the ugliest cars i ever see on the road,, it looks like a POS with no curves, dull colors and probably even duller drivers.

of here z haters, go to your own bad site

This is one of the most retarded statments ever.

It is a super clean design which has plenty of curves, looks substantial, aggressive, and has aged very well.

I own an S2000 now and used to have a 350z Roadster. Never driven a 370z yet so cant compare, but S2000 is a much funner car than my 350 was. When I get in my S2k I feel like i "put it on" and not got in (if that makes sense to anyone). The 350 was not the same, not to say it was bad, just different. The 350 felt faster (Torque) and was way more comfortable. Really its a matter of prefrence of what you like, and from the reviews Ive read about the 370 it seems to emulate a similar connection with the driver that the s2k does, but also has the comfort/power, and thats why Im considering getting one as my next ride.

Everyone also must remember S2000 is a 10 year old design with nearly half the engine size. Yet even today it hangs with he best of them. This does say alot about what kind of car it is.

Santent's statement is just as "boy racer" as saying a sup'd up econobox = sports car

I remember my 07 s2000 it was a blast!!! I mean serious track junkie canyon cutter!!! I did several long drive 12+ hrs and it was insanely uncomfortable (I dont stop except for gas). I remember getting out of the car to fill up and my gf at the time was like wats wrong with you... ( I looked like a 6'2" hunch back lol) I loved that car but I tell you what I love the 370z even more! I wished I would have saved the $15k in mods on the s for the 370z! Its just as fun as the S but with tons more power! I am still part of the local s2k club and we do track days. lol lets just say I got a bunch of flak at the beginning of the Z's first track day but by the time the day was over no one wanted to mess with the Z... I had to call one of the guys a P**** (More like Yelled out in the pits "Walter you P**** get your a** on the track and come play! Your all talk and no action ya big P****!) just to get him to join my session and play cat and mouse! I wooped his butt all over the track!

Enjoy the S and when you want to upgrade the Z awaits you!

Looks like the 370Z is a pretty decent value, that being said Nissan Motor Co really needs to get off their butt and install a real LSD, appropriate coolers for the Oil/Tranny/Power Steering and real seats on the Nismo to turn it into a proper car that can be tracked reliably.

Just my 2 cents.

I just sold my 400whp Mazdaspeed3 GT and bought a 370z. The sports car feel of of the 370z caught me by surprise. Low, raked windshield, big wing (nismo), rear wheel wag with tcs off, but by far, my mazdaspeed was way more satisfying, and fast

Of course it's going to be slower..You're comparing 400whp to 350bhp? No shock there...And the Nismo seems to be slower than the base lol

And might I ask a list of mods?

400whp sounds a lot for the MS3 unless you rebuilt the motor...

How can you even compare a 400whp to a 350hp at the crank? sorry but you sounded like some kinda ign%%@*t!

I said satisfying, and as an aside, fast. lol. It didn't help that it was FWD and had 225 tires, and the Nismo is RWD with 285 tires. Obviously the 370 seems very tame because of this. I'm just sad, and expressing it, that's all. Twin turbo please lol. 370ZX

Nick, here's older pictures of the car:

It's the Xede EMS that added 80whp by itself.

Sorry but there's no way the xede added 80whp and there's also no way in hell your ms3 had 400whp.

Does anybody find anything seriously wrong about this post? I wouldn't call 400whp on a fwd exactly satisfying. It's more in a terribly misguided category in my opinion.
