Default 350z test drive quite disappointing

Test drove a few cars today, most were big let-downs

06 350z roadster - felt dog slow and very quiet (needs headers ) .... I guess the extra 06 weight, plus the fact it's a 'vert, just doesn't help it against compared to an 03 *shrug*


others:
05 mustang gt 'vert - felt dog slow. I've never driven a new GT so I was expecting a lot, but it just didn't have anything in it. maybe because it was a convertible

0?5? E55 AMG wagon - felt fast, but a lot slower than I was expecting -> again maybe because it was a wagon and all that extra weight?

04 M3 cab - again, felt fast but a let down from what I was expecting (SMG was cool though)

0?5? SL55 AMG - very fast; faster than I thought it would be :nod:

Kind of a let down from what I was expecting...........should just get a blown 427 shelby cobra replica and be done with it :word: (or an 03/04 cobra :nervous: )

Don't know why you have such a huge range of cars.. do you even know what you want... if you can buy a 55 AMG, why are you even hangin around the Z territory.. kinda retarded to get a Z instead of a Porsche...

+1. The E55 AMG is a supercharged V8 with 470 HP....didn't know they made a wagon.

If he was driving an older E55 it has 349 HP and is not supercharged.

A 06 Z coupe still wouldn't weigh as much as an 03 G.
