the car is crazy fast.


i drove to a Nissan dealership with my friend to check out the new Z. when we pulled in, i immediately spotted an 07 solar orange Z and was surprised to see how much better it looked than the previous orange color. i went inside and spoke with a dealer who had me in the Z in about 5 minutes. as soon as i got out on the road i asked the dealer if it was cool if i gave the car a little juice and he says "go for it kid, i used to be a race car driver" i was amazed with the straight line power, like the car feels so much faster than my rsx type-s it isnt even funny (this is the same type-s i opted over instead of an 06 Z last year). like i redline my high revving type-s every day and i would be satisfied if the Z had a 6500 redline - but it just keeps pulling. even in forth gear around 30 miles an hour, the car takes off like a rocket compared to my acura. i asked the dealer if he wanted to show off a few of his skills in the car and he gave me this ignorant smirk, so i pull over, he gets in and beats the living **** out of the car, like i almost felt bad but i had the biggest **** eating grin off my face. i'm gonna trade in my 05 rsx type-s for the Z, but not the Z i test drove () . i'm gonna tell him i dont like the orange color and get it in silver instead.


all i have to say is wow.

 

Then do it.

 

I just feel sorry for whoever buys that car now

 

hahaha...

doesn't the 07 rev to 7500? what does a RSX do?

 

Like 8.5k or something crazy lol

 

I think most sports type cars get driven hard that way on test drives. I know I did when I was out visiting the folks in la.

 

im not surprise that your goin for the z. C'mon now man! ur coming from an rsx...that car is like a bit step up to civic...theyre fast but fwd!! and that rsx is not known for very good handling....how about the torque? did u feel the kick at higher rpm?

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
you must be retarded

 

HAAHAH i was gonna say. What a joke

 

When I went to test drive my Z at the dealership he said to beat the **** out of it, I was like what? he said lets go on the highway and see what its got, lol

 

How else would you drive it, right? That is the only thing with sportscar. You have to test drive them hard. I was told the same thing when I test drove the Z a while back. They normally have a car that is specifically there for test drives anyways.

 

Like any other new car...with the proper 'Break-In'. I feel sorry for whoever ends up with these 'test cars'

 

yes

my type-s redlines at 8100

 

it was a bad deal, they wanted 30 for a used enthu with 4000 miles.

i got the 05 type-s with 20,000 miles for 12500 after trading in a 2000 audi a6 with 175,000 (i wouldve given it away for free) and dont regret it

i'm ordering a carbon silver 07 base Z tomorrow

 

congrats!

 

i hear ya bro. its just funny cause i was a honda guy as well. still love them but after driving many over sportcars it was easy to tell which one won my heart!

 

damn 175k miles in 6 years. That A6 must've taken a beating--- on avg. nearly 30k miles a YEAR.

 

the z is durable the one u test drove should be fine and if it isn't thats why they make warranties

 

I test drove one today, too. It seemed quick but my car definately felt faster. And also, the clutch feels really brittle ... wasn't too big a fan of that ...

 

I drove one also, and it seems like the car is sluggish. And even though you can rev it to 7500, i felt it pull alittle better when i shifted around 6800 ish. It felt stable and solid, but to me heavy. Maybe I am used to driving my modded Z but if I had to guess, i'd say the extra weight kind of washed out the extra hp. just my 2 cents.
