Routine maintenance is overrated.

My '02 Spectra only gets an (dino) oil change when I can't remember when the last one was done. It works better than most Z's in this forum.

They made 4038. Care to explain how more than twice that many were EXPORTED?

(According to my numbers, 100 went to Europe)

Or...roughly 200% of the 2-year production volume.

It definitely would be nice to see the next Z get a nice bump in power! It deserves at least another 50hp.

Especially with the NISMO....and you would think having a BASE model....but no middle ground except in Styling rims and splash guards, NAV, etc....? They should of went all out in the NISMO...made the SPORT Model with the NISMO N/A mods...and then a BASE...they coulda saved alot of money and just kept the NISMO rims for all packages did away with SPORT and definitely kept the 350z rims cuz the BASE Rims are freakin BLAH

I have to say, the new Mustang GT is quite impressive. I've seen numbers as low as 4.3 seconds for 0-60 but these articles are from months ago. I still can't find anything "official."

To each his own, but I've always found mustangs to be "boring" due to their high popularity (caused by the price range of the base model).

I'm sure for the track fiends, I'd be a little worried. For driving around town, I still find us Z owners are on top of everything in our class.
