OMG, nissan 370z

[Bill Barber]

Drove one tonight, roush may be history, no where near the straight line power of the R car, but the z can carve corners like it is on rails, lots o fun.

Off to the nissan dealer tomorrow.just to look

 

[TRACket Paul]

Just to look. Riiiight.

 

[Tom Schindler]

Yea, just to look. Gary's 350Z has 20,000 miles on it. Just about worn out.:smile0007:

Drove a few a couple of weeks ago. Fl dealers have a good supply of new 09's on the lots with a good price break. They do stick to the road

 

[OLE442]

I'd stick with the Roush....just MO! Of course, I don't like CHANGE!



'07 ST:smile0015:

Who cares about a backseat, nobody has ever sat in mine

will keep my stage 3, far better performance car hands down over the Z, but they sure are pretty.

 

[gary s]

come on bill,



do it. change it up, there are a million mustangs out there

btw, comparing your stage 3 and the z is like apples and oranges. thats when you bring in a vette grand sport for some fun :banana:



side note: car&driver has the new 7 speed auto running 0-60: 4.6 - 1/4 13.1 @ 108.

0.2 seconds quicker than the manny trans.

all road tests are subject to difference due to driver, weather and so on.



either way i luv the new z and the video does have it as a better overall sports car.

or do i want a new camaro ss :smile0005:

 

[Bill Barber]

gary, are a million stangs out there, but Roush Only built 43 stage 3s in my configuration.

trust me, is not apples and oranges.

The Vid compares a stock standard GT to the Z, they come close granted.

My st 3 has a tottaly diff suspension than the GT, not to mention 140 more H.P.

 

[JerryW Gilliland]

They didn't mention power to weight ratio.

But they did mention the lousy live rear axle in the Stang.

Both have a lot to do with straight line and slolom performance.



The Vette still has my vote for grunt in a sports car, albeit for more money. And it always draws the ladies.

[Bill Barber]

Are nice cars for sure, but around my local they are like Rolex watches and hemmeroids.

Sooner or later every A$$hole will have one:banana:

 

[JerryW Gilliland]

I hear ya, Bill.



One can certainly say that about Mustangs around my local. Not that many Vettes, though. I've had a couple of Mustangs in my life and really enjoyed them. But at my age, I wanted to move up a notch. I believe the national average age of Corvette drivers is mid fifties, and my Corvette club bears out that statistic.



I have the Rolex but no rectal problems...yet.

[gary s]

jerry,



agree.



bill,

millions of mustangs ( not your model ) as millions of vettes but how many ZR-1' s do you see ?



have to agree the vette is the only true all american sports car.



but i say go for the Z and change your driving experience

 

[Bill Barber]

But the ZR1 is rather spendy

 

[gary s]

ahhh,



you only live once :banana:

it doesn't matter what you have, as long as you are happy. :smile0006:

 

[Tom Schindler]

The ZX-1 is simply awesome!!!
