True, the SST AT paddle shifter version coming out is not doing so well at the track testing, its overheating a lot. Plus, you can NEVER go wrong with a MT sport car

Your completely wrong, it is WAAAAY different than previous version. It has a more grown up look to it and they raised the price so dumb punk kids cant buy them anymore right off the bat. I was sketchy seeing it in pictures also, but when i saw it in person, I changed my mind instantly.

We'll see what kinda demographic starts to gets behind the wheel. Clearly they aren't cheap cars, so you gotta be getting paid to own one -- for now anyways. The STYLE of the car is very boy racer, not saying its a car built for high school kids, but the old one anyway had some styling elements that were a bit too flamboyant for my taste.

I see that now with the Z. Most 350Z's i see on the road now are older men and woman and HS kids. Plus the Z is not original anymore to me, too many of them on the road and in the dealerships. Viper and vettes and all that, to each his own, I wouldnt buy one of those for a number of reasons. Plus, im pretty sure after putting some money into my X, wont have to worry about most cars beating me. Anyways, im trying to make it to track rental, schedule pending.

I brought it out to Daves last meet at his shop(FT). Not sure if you were there or not, maybe that was what you were talking about.

Were you on rt. 50 in chantilly yesterday? Some BMW was trailing me for miles on rte. 50 from chantilly to fair oaks. haha. I wasnt pushing it at all, just noticed the BMW staying behind me through traffic. Yeah the stock BOV is pretty loud and the turbo spool up is just as noticable, but no complaints on my end.

I saw a red one in person at rockville barnes and noble one night.
I love Evos and Zs. My two favorite cars, but IMO I dont really like how the Evo X look. Its looks a little too boxy, and not as aggressive as its suppose to be.

I would like to come run it for the first time, but $65 is a little steep for me right now, so I might not make it to this one
