:icon23:

the k20 is one of my favorite motors. I wish they had used it in a RWD platform like they had planned to

Yeah, well the acura is fine and all, but i have been deciding which to replace it with, the 5.0 or the Z, or S2000

How about a 1.8 Liter 4Cyl?

I want more power. ive tasted it in friends cars, and the acura is a 05. starting to get past that nothing breaks phase. gotta replace my caliper on my driver side this weekend for example. plus i wouldn't call the acura a sports car. its sporty enough to leave me wanting.

No I don't have one, I was looking at all my options and ended up getting the 5.0. My brother has a 40th and my sister has a yellow 370z.

Driven them yet?

:tiphat:

Yep I know what you mean. Reminds me of my 01 Integra. Last year they made it.... makes me miss it. Nice cars, but yes, leaves you wanting in the "sports car" dept.

Good luck with your choice. I have driven all 3 of the options you are looking at. I've owned the Z... and almost bought a used S2k instead of the Z a couple years ago. I since traded in my Z for the 5.0 after only a year of ownership, so you probably know how I feel towards the 5.0.





On another note... Dan, Steve.... guess what guys.... My Sales manager just gave me my VIN #..... :icon18: ETA date is 11/12 - 11/19!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am f*ing STOKED man. I thought December... now I get to enjoy it for maybe a few weeks before putting her away. She's getting modded the MINUTE I get her in the garage. I guarantee you that.

Being without a toy car has been AGONIZING. I love my 12 year old Civic for my daily beater... but man............ it's been tough :(

It already has an H pipe you dolt.

X pipe would just change the tone a bit, and actually quiet it down at idle and low revs.

That's awesome, man. :tup: :tup: :tup:

Dude that it sick! Barely over two weeks to go!!'

Yeah but isn't the piping effed up?

I don't want a quiet idle though, so bleh

Nice :tup:

Effed up? Not really. It won't do a damn thing for sound if you swap the stock H out for another H.

Unless I decide to force intercourse on the environment.

O/R H would sound pretty gud with the stockers.

Thanks guys... but OMG, you're right. When he told me 11/12, I was thinking 4 weeks away. But after you said 2 weeks, I'm like... wait, let me check calendar. And whaddaya know. It IS barely over 2 weeks. sheeesh. That's awesome. Soon I will be :driving:

He said the car is getting BUILT right now, this week. Wish I was there, standing at the assembly line, making sure they put it together right... lol.

off road H requires catless? x pipe too right?

Hmmm

Yeah "off-road" mid pipes delete the cats. They run straight from the headers to the over-axle pipes.

Turbo?

:icon14:

turbo stang = :excited::yum:

No need to ter bow when you can just bolt on an S/C for $5500 and make 500whp+

supachajer is for homos

Dont worry... There not. :stirthepot:

Kinda lol, the stang gt i test drove was the only one they had, a vert with an auto. I have driven a friends sk2 and there is such an undeniable charm to it. Like shakira and beyonce. Shakira may not have the body or face of beyonce, but oh may dam does she have sauce! have not yet gotten a test drive on the Z. and steve says before I make up my mind to try and get behind the wheel of the brembo with 3.73. and being wisconsin and its almost winter. I am a very indecisive person, I may just wait until 2014 for the stang. I don't know. I am definately taking my time.

Fair enough. I definitely recommend driving them as much as you can.


I have owned all three, so more than happy to answer any questions you have.

Luckily, despite the fact that he is not there, they're putting it together right.

:roflpuke2: Homo grammar nazi strikes again.

Dun dun dun!!

Lol.... wish I could say the same about the Z's transmission and oil cooler :stirthepot:

:shakes head:

:icon18:


Ford called me about my Z the other day. Apparently Nissan gave them the same runaround about the transmission being "normal." The tech goes..."why'd Jalopnik write up the MT82 and leave this be":roflpuke2:

ahahaha, yes, hahaha, it's so funny, mustangs are so glorious. :|

:facepalm: Im worried about my trans. Dont even wanna deal with the run around my dealer is gonna give me. The prob isnt too bad NOW, I have a slight grind into 3 &5 on occasion. Im sure itll get worse:shakes head:

the downside is it gets shado's panties in a bunch....






....just kidding...





...that's not a downside, that the biggest upside:icon17:

I actually found NNA to be relatively helpful if you whine. Nissan offered to replace my trans, just took a while to get there. At that point, I was getting rid of the car anyways.
