So the difference between a sexy grocery getter and a tarmac ripper is 0.4' seconds?

 

I don't know if I agree. Seems that we are about a half second slower to 60 and half to 3 quarters of a second off in the quater mile http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html depending on which numbers you look at. On top gear the Z was less then 2 seconds slower around thier test track (roughly 90 second run) than the STI or the EVO http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/powerlaps.shtml .
While I would never say that stock for stock the Z is faster (or even quite as fast) , I think you may be selling it a little short.

 

I bet that you made up this rule didn't you?

 

learn to spell before u make stupid a$$ posts, u retard.

 

You should buy one, you might like it.

 

evo=mitsubishi=crap.

 

Let Me Tell You, It's One Fast Grocery Getter!!! Lol....


P.s. I Can Pick Up More Chicks Then You Can In My Grocery Getter!!!

 

well let me start by saying most of those comparisons are for a roadster 350z which is 10k more than the coupe, when you take that into account (if you dont really ar about the drop top) then the 350z pwns the competition (also since the coupe is a little lighter/faster) due to price

i dont think that the 350z should be compared to stis or evos either, they are difrent types of cas, im not saying the 350z is worse, or evos/sti's better, they are just DIFFRENT types of cars

lets get one thing straight to start with, 350z starts at 26k, lancer 30k (but you have to spend 36k to get a 6 speed) and 32k for an sti

next stis/evos are awd, that alone makes them a diffrent car, they are squared looking and ugly, where as the 350z is sleek and RWD

the 350z you sacrifice some speed for looks and style, if all ou want is a fast car you can go buy some used something or other and put out a ridiculouse amount of horsepower for less than a new 350z, but ill stick with a 350z becuase i like driving a good looking car

hell you could probably make a civic faster than a z for less money, but its going to be a civic

anyway i agree they shouldnt be compared but not because they are some demi gods that are so far infront of the 30z that there is no comparison

retard

 

And that's the real question: what's the basis for comparison? Only car? Daily driver - no mods? Lap times? ET? trap speed? Top speed? Horsepower? Choice for road trips? Appearance? Carrying capacity? Available mods? You just can't say that one is a better car than another without knowing the standard for comparison. And no car beats the rest in all categories for anybody.

I passed on Evos and Subes because you have to keep them boiling to enjoy what they do best - in every day use, they're econoboxes. Sure, they're endless thrills when you can use the power and handling. But that doesn't encompass driving to work, and my Z makes me feel good even when I'm crawling along among the great unwashed. And every time I see the Z reflected in a building I pass, it makes me happy. If I had an Evo or STi, every time I saw my reflection in it while stuck in traffic, I'd ask myself why I bought it. To me, those huge wings look ...er ....ah ......I just gotta say it: DUMB! If you like 'em, great - enjoy! But to me there's no comparison.

BTW - buying a car to help you get a date is just plain pathetic. As is true everywhere else, you'll get what you pay for (which, in this case, will be a wonderful car and a woman who will move on when she finds one she likes better). You can troll more successfully for one-night stands with a nice ride, but wouldn't it be better if she actually liked something about you other than your car?

 

I think the controversy comes from your statement that the 350z is a grocery getter while the STI/EVO are tarmack rippers...

It might be true that you can't compare the two cars but you were taking a cheap shot at the 350z...

 

or an integra for that matter

Just when I think, "Surely this person has reached and encapsulates the limits of Internet tedium" you go and push the boundary even further. Your post is an orgy of stultifying cacophonous verbal depravity; an exercise in literary impotence, and an offense to all of good taste and decency.

I suppose I should have some sympathy for your handicap. You are obviously paralyzed from the neck up. You could type every thing you know on the subject on back of a microscopic postage stamp and still have room leftover for a shopping list. You've got a big hole in your head, now shut it. When you are at a loss for words, your loss is our gain. I am reminded of something relevant that Benjamin Disraeli said: "He was distinguished for ignorance - for he had only one idea and that was wrong."

Most repair manuals are far more interesting than you, and far less turgid to read. Genius does what it must, talent does what it can, and you had best do what you're told, you dyslexic lobotomy patient. Maybe you wouldn't be such a Jerk-In-The-Box if you weren't intellectually outclassed by dead sheep; if your weren't so fat that when God said "Let there be Light", he told you to move your fat *** out of the way, or if your face wasn't so ugly that visitors to the Ugly Palace pay money NOT to see you. Who am I kidding? You would.

Let the bible thumper spew his ignorance, after all, it's what they do best.

 

wow... but a simple "you suck" would've been good enough. Now you 'gon confused him even more.

 

First time using the automatic complaint generator?

 

...and it won't be the last.

 

s2000 is comparable
