Default have a chance to jump on an 08 z.

hey guys whats up. I have a chance to jump on a 2008 350z base model for like 23k. I think that's a pretty damn good deal. I was wondering though can i get about 305whp with just bolt-ons. Im also thinking about a 2009 cobalt ss and a 2009 mazdaspeed3. Ohh and what does the HR dyno stock?

I'd take the 2009 MS3 unless you have a second car. Its faster, handles better and has more room. Plus the inteior is nice.

It's not faster than an 2008 350z.

Where are you getting this from?

23k for a base seems like a pretty good deal. Any options with it?

I cant believe this is even a question!! Z all the way! Cobalts and mazdas look like EVERY other car in the world. Z has its own look, own styling, and is very quick stock.

I agree with this guy!

However, there was some review done with Cobalt SS recently and it beat the **** out of Z, Evo, Sti and bunch of other cars in laps... not sure how biased the review was though.

But I would never drive Cobalt SS... Z is such a sexy car!

The new Cobalt SS Turbo is a pretty nasty machine actually. The LNF 2.0 Ecotec is a pretty impressive engine. Its unfortunate that that great engine is put into a crap body.

quite honestly i think the cobalt and the z handle about the same, the ms3 has a ton of body roll. I decided i want a RWD car and I've always liked the Z. DOes anyone have stock dyno's???
