BTW - My friend sent me the link so I responded to him by sending a picture of my car with a response of - at $60k less and more HP, I would buy a Z anyday........

 

I for one could care less what 911 owners, or anyone else for that matter, says about the Z. Love the Brick; others opinions count for diddly-squat.

 

Why start a flame war? Nothing they said hinted at antagonism.

 

yeah, they seem like normal folk to me, no use stirring things up.

In my opinion the lines of the Z are nothing like the 911. The Zs nose is too blunt the back too flat. They are entirely different cars, I like the guy who said "they both have four wheels."

On the other hand, this is a pic of a 911 that was fifty feet behind my Z on Pine Flat road on Saturday, after I finished the next turn and was in a short straight I was thinking "Oh man, he should have been right about there" but he never came around. Sad

what kind of car were you driving?

 

That is a little surprising, every porsche owner I have met in person has had nothing but nice things to say about my car; I guess they respect what it is for the price even though their cars are obviously much better.

 

They sound like cool people to me.

 

Who cares.... its not like their compairing apples with apples now are they??? How much more is a 911 than a Z??? lol!!!

 

I used to be a Rennlist member when I owned a Porsche which is probably why I don't enjoy my350z.com sometimes. Members there are polite and professional. You'll also never see a "How many 17 yr olds ....." thread. Just a completely different crowd.

 

To me quite funny, seems like everyone there owns a 97 year model, and older, to me looks like someone just wants the Porsche name in their driveway.

 

When I went looking for a new car I too was looking at the pre-97 911's - they had more curves and were air cooled still. Many argue that the '98 and newer, the 996 model, is a lesser car.

 

How about two 17 year old girls driving a Lamborghini Murcielago and a Ferrari Enzo? Just 'cause the car is expensive doesn't mean it won't find itself somehow in the hands of younger people: http://www.angelfire.com/wa3/daily_article/

Follow the link and be ready to cry.

 

Looks like he wasn't used to midship handling yet.

EDIT: My bad, the 911 isn't midship is it?

 

I have(in family to be precise) a tiptronic 911 (996) cabriolet. drove it extensively and love it.

But I prefer my 6mt 350z, lol. (seriously)

Also had ****load of problems with the 911. Build quality is nowhere near what some people would lead you to believe. (still have a few right this moment)

As for the 350z copying the flared fenders of the 911... I wasn't aware porsche invented flared fenders...

 

I can't speak for BigMike, but I don't think he was referring to the fact that a lot more Zs are owned by 17yr old as compared to 911s. It seems he was just saying that the members on Rennlist do not barrate anyone just for their age or otherwise consider that young kids are ruining the image of their cars. They stay polite and professional no matter who else drives 911s. That's all.

 

To the thread starter: If you read that thread closely, you will notice that many members there were also saying that Z is very well-styled and a great car. Worrying about 911 owners' Z views is like complaining that Enzo owners say 911s do not look "futuristic" enough. Both are ridiculous comments. Different cars for different cutomers/price segments.

BTW everyone, can we stop starting threads about how Maxima/Eclipse/Sentra/911 or other owners do not like Zs? It is a pretty stupid thing to do. There are many who love Pontiac Aztec too, and would rather have that than a Z. Should we start a thread on them as well?

 

didn't really see anything posted that was negative. seemed like honest feeback
and responses. definitely nothing more controversial than what i see on these
forums.

 

Hey Zlleh that link you posted was really stupid. It said 2 17 yr old girls had 3 passangers with them. 3??? Am I missing something. Isn't the Enzo and Murcielago both 2 seaters like the Z. So one passanger in each car would make 4 people. Where the hell did the other guy come from. What they strapped him on the roof?

 

That site can't be real. The way its written, they don't really say how the accident happened besides the eyewitness quote. Also, I went to cnn.com to search for it and came up with no results unless I wasn't using the right search terms.

 

if i had a 911 i will talk **** about Z's tooo hahahhaha
