I'm going to use that statement. Lol.... been there done that.

It can be fun if you have the time to use all the tools and a understanding boss. One that realizes if your going to load all the stuff and it takes months.
Then you have to progress the project daily .... Which takes a couple of hours. Then add 26 project at a time and your two weeks behind already. Lol !!!!

 

No use... Between the internet know-it-alls and those people who take what ever they see or hear, no matter how far fetched as gospel. You'll just be blue in the face.

 

Thats great, but we are talking about the 350Z. So what now? Remember 3-5-0-Z, not 240z. Sorry dont know who John Mortin is, I'm not into guys.

just in case you forgot we are talking about the 350Z.

 

I'd 2nd that statement. Z are great little cars. Vette's can be made into monsters with very little cash. Or, if you have the dough buy a Z06 and have a monster out of the box.

I'd love to have that Z06 Motor with TT in my Firebird. Oh well, maybe someday. But, really, why would I need 700HP on the street. That's the battle I have with myself almost everyday. For the track, I have a 800HP monster ('67 Camaro) Not really streetable at 4MPG. It can idle around at the speed limit but, filling up every 25 miles are so sucks. Not to mention the cost of that gas now.

I'm into purpose built cars / trucks / RV's now. Each has their purpose. I wouldn't drag the RV and I wouldn't Tow with the '67 Camaro. That would be nuts !!!

Both the 350Z and the Vette are sports cars. I'll even go as far as saying my Honda Civic Si is a sports car. However, race cars are in a completely different class. When does a street car become a race car? Does a '74 Buick that does bracket racing qualify?

My point is that the lines are fuzzy at times. But, I believe 99% of the people would consider the Z to be a sports car.

 

So you got owned, now you are crying? laugh.

 

Very well said Z driver

 

shucks I guess you win.

That's because 90% of their owners are paunchy, balding, white guys over 65 years old.

 

That has to be the most ignorant thing I've ever read on this forum.

Z cars have been racing & winning for the last 35+ years.

Yes, the Z has history, nostalgia, and wins too.
Yes, the Z name goes hand in hand with motor sports.
And for anyone to deny that is a fool.

 

Quit while you're ahead . . . you obviously don't have a clue on the history of the Z.

 

Actually, that is pretty accurate take on it. That is all that I see around hear. It generally is their second or third car.

I start thinking about used Ferrari and Porsche when I get into that price range.

 

this thread is not about Z history, its about the current 350z. which pretty much sucks when compared to a corvette.

 

 

if your going to compare two different objects in the same category at least make sure they are like objects. The vette and Z are NOT in the same class. Both cars are good at what they try to achieve...then again so are some minivans.

 

clever!

 

Exactly.

If I wanted to throw out the kind of money they want for a Corvette, I'd buy a Porsche.

 

Right but then you said the Z had nothing in racing to back itself up.

And you don't even know the history of the Z. So you really need the ban hammer.

 

^ is an IDIOT.
