Forget Nissan but I'll take the paint.
Yeah but 350Z tho
I mean, if you're a middle age bro with a retail supervisor job compensating to show off to teen girls, I guess.
I see, thanks for pointing out that I'm a stereotype. FML
TBF, the 350Z was the sports car to have when I was a teenager. Not my fault that I can only afford one just now in my mid-30s, haha. I blame Ronald Regan for screwing over working-class citizens. If I had the money my parents had, I'd be driving an EV by now.
(edit: and FWIW I'm in a happy relationship with an adult woman similar to my age)
There's a very long list of two door sports cars I'd buy instead of one of those bloated excuses.
I'd like to see that list, cause I'm I'm considering selling the car in a year or two. Requirements: 2 doors, convertable, 300+ BHP, manual transmission, stability control (cause I'm a bad driver lol), under $15K.
Miata, BRZ, GT86, possibly a WRX if you want something more practical.
Already considered all of those before buying the Z. None of them meet my horsepower requirements. And the last time I checked, they don't make a convertible WRX and BRZ/FRS/86.
I had a 370Z. Basically the same chassis with a bigger engine.
Feels like sitting in a bathtub. It's got a heavy ass flywheel that makes the V6 feel as smooth as a V8, but with predictable effects on responsiveness. You can cut the fly weight in half and it's still perfectly good to run on the street without issues.
I traded it in for an Miata NC and never looked back. Sure, the Z has more power, but it doesn't make good use of it the way a Miata does.
Funny you mention that; I had the opportunity to buy an ND Miata for $5K more. Went with the 350Z instead. Now your comment is making me second guess myself, even though I love how the 350 handles.
It glides through corners so damn well, I can't possibly imagine it getting any better than this, but you "Miata is always the answer" people always come of the woodwork and make me second guess my decision. The low horsepower figures always got to me. But now I'm thinking that maybe I should have just taken the damn test drive before falling in love with the Z.
Yeah but fuck Nissan
Agreed, but mostly fuck modern Nissan. 90s and 2000s Nissan were cool.
It's a cool, cool summer.
