As much as I love my Z (with upgraded suspension), I don't have to be ignorant. Above 100mph a Z could overtake an Elise, but no way before that with equal drivers. In corners, a Z CANNOT go faster than an Elise. And here you are saying you're passing Elise's and Z06's with ease at the local auto-x track? I could maybe see passing them on high speed tracks, but at auto-x? If what you're saying is true, they were horrible drivers.

But here you are, telling people to sell the Z and get off the forum because they know an Elise will be faster at an auto-x track? wowsers.

 

Was talking to you? Read my post again . . .

BTW, and where did I post that I stated you can pass anyone in auto-x . . .

 

your posts make my head hurt.

"Newb -- you obviously don't know what you're talking about. The Z can compete with the Elise, and even an Exige in autox or the track. I know . . . I regularly ran faster times than an Exige in our local autox events. Heck, I ran faster times than an occassional Z06. As far as overall comfort, I'll have to agree that the Lotus is on a totally different (lower) level than a Z."

 

I'm considering a K24...i'm waiting till i hear about a mounting kit for it all...can you imagine...300 rwhp at 10k rpm...that would be insane with a car that light...

this could just be one of my pipe dreams though...i know i want to build something insane 5 or so years out

 

I guess im a "newb" because I just bought a Z and I only have 6 posts.

I thought this was a serious forum, not one filled with little kids claiming to beat corvettes at their "local auto-x".

When you get some track time, and experience, Write me a PM, I'll be happy to teach you a technique or two. Until then, let the grown ups do the talking, k?

 

Ahhh, newb is now an expert with the 350Z after he's had it for a few days. Again, you're just showing your ignorance if you don't think the Z can compete with a Lotus. So, what's the matter, you couldn't afford a Lotus so you settled for the Z? If you think so highly of the Lotus, why didn't you buy one?

 

Myself, I bought the Z before the Lotus came out, and didn't trade it because the Z actually has enough storage for road trips. I spent a lot of money upgrading the Z so it's closer to the Lotus but it just wouldn't be able to compete at auto-x still.

Why you so ignant?

 

+1 to this: Why do you choose to be an ignorant *******?

 

actually, I was going to get a used elise with 9,000 miles for 39,000 but I went to nissan and they were getting rid of a new 05 aniversary Z loaded 10,000 off sticker price so I bought it. Now that car is gone I was looking at elise again but I could not find one used with low mileage. If I had the extra money I would get a elise in a heartbeat, but for now I love my 07 z.

 

My next door neighbor has one, love it love it but NOT for daily driver. it will spank the Z all over the place but hey the car weighs 1900 pounds. If you have the funds, by all means but have a daily driver as well. You can also expect to replace tires every 7500 miles

 

I didnt realise that I was discussing this with some one that owns and "modifies" and AT sportscar. I feel ignorant. You are right buddy, I shall sell my 6 speed Z, buy a Lotus, convert it to AT and then talk ****. Oh, paint the wheels and put stickers on the doors, 5whp gain, right?

Have a good day buddy, im done waisting time with you. And for the guy who wants the Lotus, BUY IT, you wont regret it.

Buys a Z, joins the forum last week and now a resident expert in this forum. Does not own a Lotus but wishes he had one. Probably has not even tracked his Z so has no clue what the Z can do. Loser . . . post again when you've tracked your Z and show me some results. Or better yet, since you bragged about your expertise, come to Texas and show me what you can do in person. Otherwise, STFU -- you're just a poser.

Oh BTW, look up in the dictionary the definition of "waisting."

 

Ditto, i see them frequently in SF roads as daily drivers and also along 280 freeway in commute traffic

 

i guess a touring elise minus the sports suspension is quite livable as daily driver. They get good gas mileage also.

 

ebay currently has an 05 for under 34k with less than 5ooo miles.

 

I agree!!! I love every uncomfortable feature that everyone hates about this car!!! I want one.

 

jesus christ you're a ****.

 

Hey a-hole, I've been ignoring you but you keep replying to my posts that are not even addressed to you. You're a freakin' Canadian so I understand your stupidity of not being able to comprehend simple stuff.

 

I like the looks of the Lotus' and they do handle really well. But I just can't see spending all that money on one. I'd buy a used R34 skyline before I'd buy that, but I"m a huge Nissan person.

 

I've been here much longer than you and I still think you're an idiot. it matters not how long he has been a member here, it doesn't take that much time to see through your ignorance.
