Yea for sure dude... This would be applicable for your average joe who has no intentions of modifying a stock Z as opposed to an enthusiast who would change/upgrade all that you have so scarcastically listed (at a minimum) of which I find to be irrelevant... Lighter, better interior, brakes, displacement... There are many "superior" aftermarket parts out there that replace components in the current Z to include FI kits and the list goes on an on.... All listed are opinions and a matter of personal preference, I was just simply commenting on the styling of the new Z... Nothing more, nothing less. I must have upset the clitoris. You must be one of the first in line to purchase one of these puppies huh? In that case Im sorry The Z34 is the best thing since a slice of bread.

I just found your statement about possibly getting "stuck" with a Z34 (that will be better in pretty much every way than a Z33) pretty ridiculous. I get that you don't like the styling right now, I'm not a big fan of it either but I know that cars grow on me over time. I didn't like the GT-R when I first saw pictures of it, but now it looks like pure sex.
First in line to purchase the Z34?? Hardly. I've got 5 years, nearly $30K in mods (almost zero labor paid for) and my blood sweat and tears in my Z33. You won't see me in a Z34 anytime soon, but I'm not going to bag on it. Nissan went a fantastic direction with the new Z. They made it a better sports car.
Toodles...oh and let me know how all the modding goes. Those "superior parts" aren't always what they may seem. Believe me.

No way...you can mod a Z?!?!? I had no idea.

Wow, your taking this personal princess... Take a minute and breathe, your letting your hormones get the best of you. This is a public forum, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, period. I said my part then you came at me trying to be a smartas.s turd. Now get over it.
Deuces...oh and by the way, been there done that with numerous builds, many strokers and turbos included, been in the game for a while... Not impressed. Next.

i HATTTE the new 370Z. Everything about it. I was ready to get an 07 after XMAS season, and ready to get a greatt deal on it. now i want to splurge and get the 370Z. Does anyone see any reason to really wait a year for the 2010 to come out? I mean I'm sure it will be a little better performance wise but why not just spend the couple grand in mods to make it the same if thats a problem. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated because I'm ripping my hair out thinking about 07 then upgrade in 2 years or just get the 370Z

It all goes in cycles. In two years geniuses like "STEVEO" here will feel pretty dumb when a simple FI kit on relatively low boost makes well over 500whp with the 370...Man I'm glad I got my 720p HDTV I almost got stuck with a 1080p model.....

Thanks.....you just made up my mind to bite the bullet and get the 370Z haha. Boosted...could this be a 500HP car with decent reliability?? I don't know anything about reliability with turbos on 350Z's (new here) so it's a serious question. If the answer is yes then I am sold on the 370Z for sure.

It's just my prediction that you will see 370Zs rolling around with stock motors and bolt-on turbo kits with over 500whp...

Same thing happened with the Z33. I remember reading posts on message boards like. WAAAAAA it doesn't have stock turbos!@!## Nissan is taking a step backward@@!#@! WAAAA It's a fat pig@@!#@!# WAAAAA It has a truck motor@!#!@#!@ WAAA It looks like a disgusting turd!@!#@@ Now a lot of those idiots own 350Zs....

Like mud-wrestling with a pig — it is a waste of time because you cannot win and the pig enjoys it...
