Time to choose, 370Z or..........

RonRizz · 12-31-2013, 05:32 PM

A 1984 Testarossa. Why not, everyone else has some kind of thread comparing the Z to everything from a bugatti to a frickin' wheelbarrow.

fzgood · 12-31-2013, 05:40 PM

I think I would be happy to have the experience behind the wheel of the Testarossa. Not so sure I would want the experience of owning one though.

Is a thorough test drive an option?

Oil change for a Z at the dealer: $50

Oil change for a Testarossa at the dealer: $12,000

Good luck.

For maintenance costs.

Not that bad IMO.
If you are the type to only put about 3-5K miles a year on the car then why not. If you only drive your Z that much then you already know it is an impractical car to have. You bought it for fun, you bought it for the enjoyment of driving a sports car.

Alas, I cannot be that impractical as my Z is my DD.
But if I could be that impractical right now I would.

I'd go with the wheelbarrow. That way you can be equal opportunity and pick up fat chicks.

A 30 year old car or a newish one. Unless the name is everything to you, get the Z.

Change your own oil......$13 for 5 quarts at walmart lol Might be tough to find the filter there, though.

I can't decide between the 370Z

or

coolvans1988 · 01-01-2014, 11:46 AM

the 370z... the Testarossa will cost too much at the end. Then only being driven like 4-6times a month. Not worth it for me.

frost · 01-01-2014, 02:14 PM

1. the Testarossa looks insanely dated
2. 10 mpg
3. cost of maintaining a 30 year old car (Ferrari or not)
4. a slower 0-60 time than the z

Is this a real comparison?

Original post was a little tongue in cheek reply to the various comparison posts...... Ex...( I would take a ford fiesta because new its 10k, and I can do 25k in mods and smoke the 370)
You get the point....lol
