And don't for a second think I'm joking!

If the guy wants to change things up, let him. I swear some owners here get so butthurt when ANY other car is mentioned as a possible competitor. Just chill. It's all gravy.

I really don't understand in this day and age why people are still so gaga over horsepower. Anything over 350hp for a daily driver is really unnecessary unless you're on the autobahn.

Sorry just my 2 cents...

Anything over 100HP is really unnecessary for a DD, so, why even get a Z?

I think heavier cars definitely benefit from having more power. Maybe 3,500 lbs. needs 300+ horsepower.

Cars lighter than 3,000 lbs. can make due with 100-200 horsepower, but could use more.

This isn't really news. The Mustang was always priced this reasonably for that much performance.

It's a nice car.

Personally, I wouldn't want to take the depreciation hit on trading my Z. It's two years old, just went over 20k on the odo, and it's paid off. If I had never bought the Z, I might have bought a Mustang.

Nissan needs to turbo the Z to compete...

After sitting in a few, no way would i ever trade a Z for it. Maybe for the boss, but even with that I don't ever see this thing feeling as nice as the Z.

Was it really that bad? I've never driven one so I would love to know why you would say that.

It feels different. "better" is subjective. Take one for a spin.

TongMan · 03-22-2012, 12:48 AM

Yea I'll go in for a test drive this weekend to have a personal opinion of it. Are the 2013's even out yet?

Stop making sense in a car comparison thread.
