I sold my 2001 Mercedes CLK55 AMG in anticipation of the Z. I'll lose speed, and horsepower with the Z as compared to the CLK (4.9sec) , but it's a Z and not a MB.

 

98 Dodge Neon R/T, but its paid off, so I might just keep it for the winter driving. Depends on what the dealer will offer me for it.

 

I think you should keep it, if economically possible. I had a modded 92 Talon TSI. I know, not that great a car. But there were a lot of memories with that ride. It wasn't til a couple of years after trading it in, that I missed it. The feeling of regret sort of creeps up on you.

 

I will be getting rid of a 93 ford escort, so I think I win for having the worst car mentioned so far. Like the Z it is also a hatchback, but since it doesn't have a massive strut brace in back, I can feel the body shiver when I hit small bumps. But I can say it is reliable and gets good gas milage.

Talk about a world of difference. You think I'm gonna be complaining about a cheap interior? You want to talk sluggish off the line? Also it has the factory $3 speakers and the front two started to make a humming noise so I'm only running the backs. You think I'm gonna be complaining about the base stereo in my track?

Just so you don't feel sorry for me I also have a 2000 trooper that is quite nice except for its poor gas milage and poor handeling and braking. You think I'm gonna complain about .88 G? I will keep this for winter/rainny days.

My first new car and the one I drove the longest is a 1988 VW fox. This was before VW made it's comeback, and I could have gotten a first model year integra for just a little more (I don't know why I didn't). But the Fox served me well for 6 years and then served my brother for 5 years.

I thought it would be interesting to compare the 350Z Track to the Fox

Cost $35K vs $8K ---advantage Fox
Transmission 6-speed vs 4-speed manual ---advantage Z
HP 287 vs 88 ----advantage Z
0-60 5.4 sec vs 11.4 sec ---advantage Z
max number of passengers 2 vs 5 ---advantage Fox
gas milage 20 something vs 30 something --- advantage Fox
stealth factor ----advantage Fox
style --- advantage Z

Well it looks too close to call. It's interesting to note that my first car cost less than the difference between the base Z and my track Z with options.

 

My 97 maxima se stick..I will miss it....NOT!! I love nissans

 

I had a '95 240SX SE I sold in January to help pay for my Z. When I get my Z it will replace my '72 Buick Skylark (my first car) as my daily driver, and the Buick will be taken apart and given a full frame-off restoration. I'm hoping the Z doesn't feel sluggish off the line, I will miss the 530 lbs. ft. at 2500 rpm, but I wont miss the 10 mpg!

 

LMAO!!!!

 

Stupid 1998 VW Jetta, with an automatic and a blistering 115HP. Selling for $9500 with 32000 miles. Now, that's an upgrade!

 

My '88 13 second Z...somtime's it starts in 11. 'Only 257K miles.

 

I'll be selling my 91 Acura Legend. I've had it since I was 16 and it has been a great car. I'm gonna miss it, but not too much.

 

00 S2000. A great little car.

Hoping the Performance Z will be even better.
