red zed was commenting on davidz370's flawed logic that because an old mustang couldn't handle, the new ones therefore couldn't as well.

every time i try to comprehend infinity in my head i get a headache :confused:
like i understand the concept... but then when i think about it like counting and it never ends... omg my head hurts
infinity divided by zero! that would be a good matchup

oops i didn't read anything before that so did not have the context
i took his post literally lel

No no no.

This thread is devolved. Please stick with the plan. Logic is not logical, dividing by zero has meaning and we have had an intervention with negative one so that it will not be so irrational when we take its square root. Course, then it will just be self centered.

Serious or troll? because he said COST EFFECTIVE.

Infinity is cool, car and concept.

BTW, I think the thread has been fully jacked.

I dunno about Mustang 5.0s being good values. They're bulking up to the $45,000-50Kish range brand new. You don't want the "$32,000" one because it's most likely bare bones, unless you only value straight line acceleration.

The S2000 is a joke. I test drove one brand new prior to buying the 370 I had. No torque. I don't like 6500+ RPM wuss torque. And in their last year 2009, I couldn't stomach paying $36K for a new one; not worth it imho.

I say get an E92 M3 for about high $30K's, if they can be had for that much.

Seen some 2005 911 turbo's for around 40K

I noticed the going rates for 09/10 370's is between 20-23k which is what id be happy spending. Anything over 24k is outta my range.

In which case, I may be better off buying a used HR 350z and modding it for about what i'd spend on a used 09 370z. Or buying an older vehicle thats as quick or fun or good looking as the 370, but doenst cost as much. For example getting a nice used GTI and modding it to be quick.

I am not interested in a BMW, I know they dont last very long without serious issues and cost alot to maintain.

Keep looking. With winter coming up the prices will go down and you will have some negotiating room to work with at dealers. The Z I ended up purchasing was for sale for a few months and initially listed out of my price range. The price obviously came down since I'm driving it now. ;)

How much did you end up paying? What is the yr and how many miles?

How much of a down payment did you need?

It was a 2012 with 10,600 miles on it. Car was originally listed for $26k - I ended paying around that much but with taxes and fees included. It was a litte bit more than what I would have liked to spend, but the color, condition, and mileage on the car made it well worth it.

I traded in my previous car for $2000 and added $1500 on top. Total down was $3500.

Thats great, what did your monthly payments end up being? What APR% are you at?

I hope I get a nice chunk of change from this case settlement for the guy who tried to kill me to put down on a car. I will also be saving $ now since I no longer have a car payment or insurance or gas (I was spending around $400+ per month alone on those things)

I guess i'd like to be around $250/$300 per month for a car payment and my insurance will most likely be around $160 per month because of my age and stuff. My 350z was $155 per month for full coverage.

Thanks, I replied!

Okay, I'm going to summarize this thread and end the confusion. :gtfo2:

The 2009 370z Nismo lapped VIR in 3:12.0

The cars that are within a second or two of that lap time should be "on par."
