350Z ranked 8th, not bad considering the crowd.

 

dont think so, just saw this too. go 350z.

 

wow, there are some bad a$$ cars on that list. proud to be on their! has anyone ever raced a z4 before?

 

No but I had an new M5 the other night! I was shocked, I stayed with him. he creep away not pulled wich I was VERY happy about

 

nope, not yet

 

They used a roadster nonetheless. Whatsup with that?

 

Not bad at all 8th behind the corvette by just 1 point, 80 to 81. And the least cost vehicle of the 14, which leaves some extra cash flow for the mods....

 

Z33 rules, .

Note: the 350Z is the highest rated car if you look at the recommended list of three cars. The three recommended cars are on the bottom half of the entire list of 14 cars. The Z is also the lowest priced car listed. That speaks well for our car when it can stand head to head in a variety of tests against supercars. Actually the 350Z test was from a previous issue but the results were compiled with the other cars. I got the issue in the mail today.

 

They had to use the most expensive model to make it look like it "belongs" on the list (not that it doesn't).

 

Also because the roadster is WAY more fun than the coupe.

Only cuz you get plenty of time to check out my rear-end.
