I just want to give out a big F%ck you to anyone hating on the base. I love mine and wouldnt trade it for anything else.

Srry if this comes off a little harsk,
-proud owner of a base model.

I think you have some issues lol (who doesn't) but I pretty much agree with you, I think. I'm glad I bought a base because it's what I wanted.

I've never been hated on but then again I couldn't give a rats a$$ what people think of MY car.

The Z community is all about love. Don't listen to the haters. That's what they do!

I can't recall ever seeing a post by someone with another model putting a base owner down if not in jest. Sounds like the OP has such a desire to be a victim, he/she creates victimizers of the fellow members. Split us up. You may have a future in politics.
It's Friday. I think if you get laid your will have a cheerier outlook.

Nothing wrong with the base other than no cruise control and VLSD . LSD can be taken care of easily.

I personally own an enthusiast model simply for the cruise control. I would've gotten the base if it came with cruise.

To be honest i don't know why nissan even made a base model. (well obviously money).
A sports car without LSD? What a joke. And for the people that think the base is faster because its lighter, don't kid yourselves. LSD is great on the track.
Why wouldn't you get an enth, hell its only $1500 more. Isn't an extra $25 a month worth being safer and having a faster car around the track?

ppl compare all the time, its normal. just dont let things get to you. be happy with what you have. you dont have to defend yourself , it only shows that you actually want a more equipped model.

who's bagging on the base? who ever you are, your steering wheel looks like crap with the buttons from the 1970 and your heavier ya fat pig.

and you wasted money on a standard LSD. hahaha... I spent under a G and got cusco LSD. sucka!!

what, now a base user is bashing a non-base..

arghh.. see what you started!!!!

the reasons you would not want a base is to

A. waste money
B. stay stock
C. not serious about tuning/racing

orbital has it right above in my case. I wanted to stay stock & have no interest in racing. Also, helps I have absolutely no clue on car mechanics.

a lot of people trade in their Z's for more practical cars. families and Z's usually dont mix well.
I got bored, I was done with the z. The only thing left I wanted to do was a full cage seats and nitrous. Instead of doing that I bought a 2007 sti, and the only thing I want to do is stereo, paint the stock wheels, new brake pads and some suspension work as well as some sticky tires. O and some harness's.

lol....im always light here....its a car forum! (by the way, that cuteness comment is gold and im hope you dont mind but im throwing that in my internet lingo )

dont know what you mean by the caught on by now so

I dont know why anyone gives a fk anyways. I respect all z owners equally (yes, even roadster owners lol). Now, when people start throwing on chrome spinners, lambo doors, etc is when i get objective.

People always look at you funny too? The Man spying on you? Are aliens after you?

Seriously, from what I've read, the Base gets much respect.

It's OK!

It's already BASE, you cant add anymore items to make it more base than it is.
