The Z has no competition. It's old. Speaking of which, how does one define a car's competitor? What are the thresholds for that? Price, performance, marketability?

I like some Lexus models, but they all bore me after a while unless there's a hot chick in it.

 

Not really sure it's gonna be Z competition, Lexus just said it's gonna start at 60k vs the 40's they had predicted earlier.

As usual the pre production sketches/graphics look way better than the actual car.

I'll wait to see the final product before deciding if I like it or not. Im not sure what is going on with my personal taste in cars these day, is it that I'm getting older?. I'm just not feeling most of the new cars coming out, don't know what it is but I just don't care for a lot of the style getting used and they're all starting to look the same. Hell I have a hard time telling the difference from a Toyota/Kia/Hyundai/Jag/Infiniti these days from anything over 25ft away, and I know its not my eyesight.

 

LOL I mean't for the next Z model. As for Lexus, I was more happy about the Supra getting closer to production.

my guess is the first thing will be body style: coupe, convertible, sedan. Followed by performance (HP, curb weight, engine types+size, top speed, 0-60, ). Price is probably the last factor used to compare what you get between manufacturers and what group its being marketed to (older/younger). So basically how well can a car do the job it was built for. So like the M3 vs Mustang GT is almost a $24,000 dollar difference, but quality, ,rigid body, and etc of the M3 beats a mustang any day. Ehmmmmm ehmmm cough Emad

Okay NVM its more confusing the more I think of it....anyone have a hand book.

 

LOL Ryan. I agree that it's not the eyesight.

Supra? What?

 

So what's up with MNSC? I haven't been on that site for so long, I can't even find it on Google. Not that I tried that hard...

 

They shut it down about 6 months ago, no one was posting and what they did post was bitching kids or what intake works best for my Civic. lol

 

Oh, good. Interesting that Shane found me on Tech. That was just before I left for my vacation.

I'm uploading some pics now. Should be on G+ soon.

 

State Fair started today!

 

I got tickets! First time in probably 10 years. Now to pick which day to go. And the time, too.

holy HEAT! These are the days that I'm happy to be inside an office all day, that's for sure!

Dave - you really haven't been to the state fair in 10 years?! That's craZy!


Just a heads up, I wanted to invite all of you on a cruise I planned on the 1st. Yes, its Labor day weekend, not sure how traffic will be, but we've got quite a few cars already committed to going so it should be fun. Emad in his Mazda and I drove the route this past Saturday and it was a blast! Turned out to be about 2 1/2 -3 hours (estimated since we actually modified the route due to a road being completely closed for construction).

Anyways, here's the list so far, just wanted to be sure I invited you all!

Sorry Dave, might not be able to make that weekend. Its Proving Grounds up at BIR that weekend. Not preregistered yet though, so not fully out quite yet!

 

State fair is boring and lame. I am not impressed.

This is my kind of weather. Love it. You mere mortals can stay inside all you want. The streets are mine!

 

I'd agree, the Z actually performs damn well in the heat...N/A obviously. Saturday when Emad and I tested out the route, was the first time I was able to get my oil temps over 200 degrees.

 

Weather sucks a$$ nordic ***** arent supposed to live in this ****.
Picked up and brought 16,850 sqft of pavers for house and extra car port.

redid Chevy 3/4 ton shift link/trans/torque converter, installed shocks and brakes for ram, full head unit and new sound system speakers, 2 12" subs....ram bumps clean and precise now=heat stroke

But, also have been finishing up the secret street fighter (keep yo mouth shut Sam) , have serious unveiling on new LS project, GM not Z derived btw.....will be done&tuned properly w/in 2-4 weeks....& I will be putting up pinks at Sonics in case anybodies wondering

 

Should make for interesting conversation at Sonic.

 

He lost interest after his girlfriend broke up with him. She broke up with him because he didn't finish his swap.

He wont be getting back into a Z, since his winter is a PT cruiser. His next summer car is looking to be a Pontiac G6. Shame as I really enjoyed watching him drift, and was his only fan.
