I never hated them. I actually loved them. But for some reason I had to have a high hp car and that was the stang. Now I want to save money and everyone says how fun they are, even tho they are so slow. Ill probably end up turboing it and out 350 to the wheels after a couple years or sooner.

I'm a huge fan of it for what it is. Small, light 2+2 (if we want to consider the +2 as big enough for humans) that handles great once you ditch the Prius tires and gets great gas mileage. If I owned one, I'd swap the tires and wheels, replace the sways and springs, stick with bolt-ons and a tune and enjoy my 30mpg/200whp. Sideways.

I was really pushing my GF to get one of these so I could buy it from her when she outgrew it in a few years. I'd handle all the maintenance and mod it on the sly while she had it, so I'd pick up the perfect little fun DD for $15k or so, which is the most a 200hp car is worth to me.

I think in ten years (assuming it makes it that long) it'll be the new miata in that there will be dozens of them at every track event and they're faster through every corner than 95% of the rest of the field.

I agree with everything you said except, the bold. From what Ive experienced, seen, no. Not that detracts it, like I said, you wont be setting any records, nor will you in a Z. Its an in your face car saying, "Hey, Im down on the punch, I dare you to hate me." You cant, its that fun. Ive been saying since it came out, I HATED it, under powered, over priced. Time and 1st hand experience has taught me...I love it. Alot.

I do wish Nissan had something like a 240sx in the market.

I like the Datsun 510. I don't like the idx. I can't put my finger on what would have to change w/ the idx to connect it with 510 for me.

Pitch · 12-19-2013, 07:12 PM

Front end alone would do it for me.

It's like they tried to copy the c6 rear end, how it looks like it gets cut off...but in the front

Ahahahah yea, that'd be nice or know how it had been driven it's whole life. Unfortunately I think most people will drive them hard considering it's a car for the younger group...and no one wants a used car that was beat to he'll and back haha

coming from power, if its your only ride, youll miss the power. Great car, but you will. How often you hang it out on Main Street? Exactly.

Firebase99 · 12-21-2013, 07:46 PM

Ive been all over the forums about the Z, getting a 2015 to supplement our t60 volvo, adding a loaded Hyundai Gen 3.8 Touting, auto. Was close to pulling the trigger today for a 13 3.8 Gen Touring...then I saw a an audi S5, literally across the street. Id sell the old Honda we have, trade the Z in....ever drive an S5? F*ck!! Its 370 power wrapped in pure beautiful awesomeness....Im getting old.

Pitch · 12-21-2013, 07:48 PM

I love the s5. Probably one of my favorite cars. Yea, it's got nice numbers...but don't forget it weighs like 4k pounds. And maintenance costs! But if your old you probably got the dough for that stuff

Pitch · 12-21-2013, 07:49 PM

Yup only ride.

I get 10 mpg so that should tell you how often I rip the tires loose

3.8 genesis is in my mind...As well as an sti and evo (not as much cause insurance is up with the 370) or the brz or 2015 stang...All have its bonus's and downsides
