Nissan 370Z Forum  

Would this be a good alternative?

RX8 sucks, we all know this. But the RX7 is a superior car to the 370z. Its legendary.

Really? Boost goes in, apex seals come out? That's legendary? It was a legendary idea, but in reality it made British and Italian cars look reliable.

Just put another motor in it. The car is still sexier, lighter, more capable platform than the Z.

Ok, "legendary if you pull out the OEM time bomb of a motor and drop a pushrod V8 in it".

It's a great looking car, but it was outperformed by its peers when new. It was down on power substantially. It was great in the corners, but it was never as fast as the rest of the crew. And a 370Z is faster in every metric than a stock Supra / 300TT / RX7 etc. Cars have come a long way. A V6 Camry has more power than most of the early 90's performance cars.

Well yeah, but who wouldnt want this? I would rather have this than a 370z. You get the looks and the power. I just think the RX7 is a sexy *** car.

that's like a 5'5 25 year old man beating up a 12 year who is also 5'5 and saying hey we're the same height... that's not even a RX7 anymore. your argument is irrelevant here. a stock 370z beats a stock RX7 in every aspect.

You mean a heavily modded FrankenCar probably outperforms a bone stock V6 sports car?

I mean, a RX/LS1 is awesome. There is no debate on that unless you're a rotary purist, in which case your opinion is invalid. It's just not something you can compare to a stock car.

It was fun and games reading your comments that previously weren't so knowledgeable, but after this one I am just going TO make myself try and understand that it was a joke.

Good God, man. If that's what you want, then get it. (But, going by some of your previous posts, you can't afford it.)

There is no Best Car for every driver. Some have more power, some have better styling, some handle better, &c, &c, &c, ad nauseum. Find a car that you enjoy driving and f**k what the specs are. If you don't know how to drive a car to the limit (without going over) - and very few people can do that - specs mean nothing.
