Default new possible owner.......confused!

hey everyone, just thought i would say hi. one of my current rides is below....but im thinking of getting rid of it. just not fast enough....and zero aftermarket. all the magazines compare it to the 350z, (track times are supposed to be very close) but i can only get a 15.3 out of it. im thinking g35/350 or a sti/evo right now. cant decide. nice forum BTW seems like more people know there *** from their elbow, which most people dont on the other boards i post on.

Go out and test drive a Z/G and make your decision. I made mine up after 5min of test driving the Z.

nah, no misprint. its a special tacoma, called an xrunner. they are pulling .91+ on the skidpad, close ratio 6 speed, ect. it handles like you would not believe. but, a high 14 sec is not enough, and i wont be the first to TT one. search up Xrunner and 350z, there is a decent amount of reading about it. but, im not suprised, most people i couldnt pay to believe me, until they ride in it. sport truck shoot off, it was only .9 sec slower in their hands than the viper dodge thingy 1/4, and killed it at the track by over a second, and holds the best production truck mph through the cones. looking around more......shesh TT is expensive for the 350!

Test drive the Z, STI, and EVO. Then buy the one you like best.

You would kike to know if a 350Z is faster than your 15.3 second truck (damn good looking truck BTW)? I don’t know the answer but can I give you a call the next time that I need lumber at Home Depot?
