Now I see, however, that there's another factor to consider in buying a car, beyond just money and the environment.
According to a German magazine, people who opt for BMWs have more sex than drivers of other vehicles.

I demand that congress pass a new law which requires car manufacturers to post their automobile's "pimp factor" ratings next to its MPG ratings. And just like the miles per gallon statistics, the pimp factor statistics may be labeled as follow: MPB (miles per booty) or DPB (days per booty) accordingly. That is all for now.....

I agree, price versus mpg/hp.
I drive 60 miles a day round trip, so MPG is important to me.
Can't imagine a Nissan V-8 in the Z anyway, high torgue on the 03 makes for wheel spinning even under normal acceleration and with wider tires.\
But, still a guy can dream can't he?

Didn't you know you'd be buying high octane fuel and that it costs more? Will an extra $10.00 per tank break the bank? If so maybe you should not be comparing the C6 to the 350z. Maybe you should be looking at Civics and Sentras. I love my ZR and really like the new C6. I want BOTH. Cash flow is the issue, not fuel economy.
