Wow. Do you enjoy talking out of your *** all the time? I have yet to see one of your 51 (so far) posts that didn't reek of ignorance.

Take a look at an '07 Boxster S spec sheet sometime and then decide if they're "show as sh*T".

Oh, so you're one of those morons who only looks at horsepower and price. If those numbers are the only things that are important to you, why'd you buy a 350Z instead of a Mustang, an STI, or an Evo?

I'd be happy to drive a Boxster S against your Z in the twisties any day just to prove that 295hp with a mid-engine configuration, structural rigidity, and light weight would own your big, bad 300hp car seven ways to Sunday. With a manual OR an automatic tranny.

because mustang is american and i am a performance guy... evo's and sti's stock have around the same amount of horsepower and are about the same price so i dont know what point you was trying to make there... and the reason I didnt get a 06 evo mr (because thats what i was going to get before i got the 350) is because I wanted a NEW car (as me the first owner) and I wanted something different... I have 4 evo friends and 2 sti friends... im the first 350...

Because if you're saying that high horsepower and low price are the only things that make a car perform, then there are cars out there that cost less and have more hp than the Z does. Get it now?

Over 300hp, big fricking deal. The Lotus Exige (which you yourself claimed would buy if you could afford it) has LESS than 245hp, but would own your Z in virtually any setting.

Horsepower means nothing without looking at the complete package.

Incidentally, did you really need 3 separate posts to say what you said above, or are you just trying to inflate your post count?

OMG when i said over 300 i didnt mean 301hp... I said if i can afford the lotus because they look so exotic and is a rare car... but thats if I was rich... and i know the lotus will outperform my Z... the point i made that you car crying about is that the boxster s... is not a good buy for the money... thats it... 55gs... not worth it (its the label)

its because i read one and reply right after... and I know horsepower can mean nothing at all... driver is more important... torque is also an important number... also the weight of the car... and suspension depending on your race (drag, track, drift, etc.)

Uh, no. The point you were TRYING to make was that the Boxster was "slow as sh*T" - these were your OWN words. You said absolutely nothing about whether it was a good buy or not. Now, if the Boxster is "slow as sh*T" but can run your Z on a course, what does that say about YOUR car?

Give it up. How old are you anyway? Your posts make you sound like you're 13.

All you guys suck... this forum has such arrogant pieces of sh*t.

The guy asked a question, if you frown upon this question, leave.

To the OP... When you get a Z... You can hang with other cars depending on your driving skill, modifications, etc. Comparing vehicles on paper is worthless, seeing as how a Lotus Exige can beat a Viper (I saw this in a magazine somewhere).

Stop all your BS posts, this forum is to encourage Z ownership, not flame every question asked... Assh*les...

Agreed. I just don't like ignorant blanket statements such as "XXXX is slow as YYYY".

My last statement about Vipers was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, by the way. Guess it didn't come off as such.

My bad, too tired to notice.

But once again, to anyone arguing...

Comparing on paper or in your head doesn't mean anything. Get the car and be happy you have a nice looking car. If you want something fast... Get a Supra...

Dude, just give it up already. A $43k Lotus Elise with 190hp will also spank your Z. Like I said, horsepower and price alone mean jack squat. So knock off the lame brand bashing.
