I love the Z, but dont be hypocrits
Are you serious? Your going to throw a Pontiac van in the mix?
Now there is a REAL winner in design.
Now we have an 18 year old Pontiac van and a Vette vs a 350Z and a GTR

Pontiac Van on fire!



FLAMES: An O’Connor Drive man reported Thursday evening that he parked his 1990 Pontiac Trans Sport van by the side of his house about 10:30 p.m. Shortly afterward, he discovered the vehicle was on fire. The man told deputies he could see flames protruding from the back seat area. The South Lockport Volunteer Fire Department responded and extinguished the fire. The flames were strong enough to melted the siding on the man’s house and damage a fence nearby. An estimate of damage was not available. The county’s cause and origin team responded to the scene to investigate the cause of the fire. The van was towed from the scene.

I'm only reporting what R&T October 2008 issue stated which should be an update the OLD stuff that has been posted. I understand that 330hp had been the magic number but this update is promising, they only mentioned that the final product may differ but the drive train is as stated. The Z will be lighter and faster. So lets just hurry up and wait.

Don't hang the masseager, it might be true we could hope. R&T seem to know more then YOU, when it comes to Whats next in line for new Cars. They get paid to state it you don't.

Peaches and Necturine comparison between the Z and Corvette ones an affordable real Sports car and the other is marvel in Old technology Super Car.

The R&T guys are paid to sell magazines. They sometimes know less than the enthusiasts, sometimes more. In this case, they are a little behind the curve.

Dude I have owned many Pontiac and GM vehicles. Quality SUCKS. I would only own a Vette or a Tahoe from them and that is it.

We had a Pontiac Transport SE minivan, probably similar to the one you had that had the long raked windshield. That thing was a POS, we sold it for a Nissan Quest. It only had like 20-30k of miles when the headgasket went. Driven by my mother and well maintained. It had many issues. We also had several grand ams, one that also had a headgasket go at around the same miles. I had a 99 TransAm that had rear-end problems and parts of the interior falling apart after only 6k of miles. Syncros in a transmission aren't exactly a major issue. GM had many transmission problems or drivetrain issues that blow Nissans out of the water.

who cares about the C6ZO6 and its price range and performance in camparison to the GTR. The GTR is FAAAAAR superior car that can actually handle boost. Unlike the fragile, crackling, weak LS7 who keeps cracking under boost. Thats the reason the ZR1 was built on a LS9 aka modified LS2.....please

And costing only $32k - $42k that will work keeping up with the Z tradition of price + performance. Soltice my a$$. All cars are going up in price.
This post is so full of fail you should be slapped.

Well, the first dealership I checked out here is listing it for $83,515.00 click here. So where are you finding them for $65k?

Go to a dealer and be serious about buying... They can't hardly give Vettes away.

So how many mags will they sell based off the small reference to the 370Z...?

A reference that has no pics mind you....

The LS7 is not a boosted engine nor was it ever designed for FI.....your point about boost is meaningless. Even so, aftermarket tuners like Lingenfelter have still done very well with the LS7. I believe the LS9 is based the new LS3, not the LS2....but don't let the facts get in your way.

GT-R is a beast...stock yes it is harsh to the eyes yet the modified ones I've seen online are a thing of beauty, and you know this ZZtopp.

Nobody really knows (100%) jack**it at this time. Wait till november for the L.A auto show, where the 370 is supposedly said to make its debut.. Then we'll know officially whats what.
