Uhhh... NO. There is no way to define to every exact standard what a true sports car is.


A AWD Z would be epic. Even if i weighed in at 3500 pounds it would be a nice option to have.

its not.... b/c if you remove the 'x', the '370z' won't be aligned with the text and log above it... and since the fern obscures part of it, it makes the PS work even harder.... it can be done but what's the point...

If you want an AWD Z then take yours to Function Tuned and they'll hook it up. Otherwise, the Z will always be RWD. ALWAYS

...err...Canadians come here illegally (and stay) too, bud...

actually, a person from ANY country that stays here longer than their visa permits or without a visa is an "illegal immigrant/alien." it's not just mexicans...but you think of "mexicans" right away cause you're probably white and don't consider other whites as "aliens." that was my point.

Because MOST AWD cars are considering GT.. Those cars that were mentioned are sports cars to a sense. But are more along the lines of grand tourings.. Thats why there called more or less exotics then just sports cars. Makes it easier so you don't argue.. O well. Dsn't matter. There nice. Thats all that matters.. And with the ZX. The X was added to explain luxury in the car. The 300ZX had more features then a 300Z. TheZX just happened to come in AWD.. You want AWD go get an Evo or Sti.

What the mother effin F!

It's a typo, people. Nuff said. Not turbo. Not AWD. Not a rocket booster pack. And not the new ESPN X-Games package with roof rack for snowboards and moutain bikes.

Geez, this thread has gone from dumb to stoopid to assinine... we may as well start throwing in rumors of a 450Z in here to keep it interesting.

The cars have been called ZX's since the late 1970's. The 350Z was the first one to not be a 'ZX' in over 20 years.

So yeah, it was likely just a typo based on the ZX heritage.

So..
Canadian Touring model = $39,998

US Touring model = $35,155

Yeah but CA to USD on today's exchange is:
39,998.00 Canadian dollars = 31,706.69 U.S. dollars

Oh in regards to the AWD, so a Skyline GTR isn't a sports car?
