hahah how did you like it? It's quick enough and it good in snow. I love the sound of vtec and my navigation. Anything beats a car payment.

I really liked the car but wasn't quick enough for me, especially the lack in tq. lol I went turbo after 6 months of ownership. I traded it in for an Evo X in 2011, can't beat factory FI and not have to worry about CA emissions.

That looks amazing!!!

It's very gutless. There is no torque at all! It feels like a go kart after driving the Z with the V6. The Evo is so nice but they are so damn expensive.

I often think about trading both my cars in for a WRX or Evo, but I wouldn't get dick for the 350z.

One thing that's awesome about Evos is that they retain crazy residual value.
