The Z is really nice, but I want to rip one of those huge chrome door handles off and beat the guy with it who designed them (awful).

I am definitely into this car...but that rear-end?? I have to see this in person.

That picture looks like Port Elizabeth/Newark, NJ to me. Too bad I'm not up there right now.

I'd be interested to see how many people would trade/sell their CL (or CL-S) for the 350Z.

280 hp/260 or something like that torque...id guess at least 300lbs. lighter...i would think it would take a 3.5 upgrade plus all the other BPU's to have much of a chance....

i was kinda alluding to the fact that there are some major BS claims on the racing forum. i realize that when compared to our car it would whip it out and slap us in the face with it, but sooner or later someone will post that they beat one and i will promptly point and laugh at the amount of BS that spews from their mouth.

I wonder why nearly all the ones in the back have the hatches open.
Are they tossing some parts in there for dealer assembly?

I got my name in at the dealer to call me when it arrives. The car has everything I want: hp + speed, nav, manu-matic tranny, etc. EXCEPT no back seats. I just don't think I'll trade in the CL-S. The minimum criteria is I gotta fit my wife and my dog in the vehicle - it doesn't work here. The Lexus SC430 would fit the bill on that account but it's only offerred in the auto tranny, convertible. Against the competition the CL-S is just so well-balanced in most of the buying criteria factors.

Once all of the 350Z hype dies down, it will be just another car on the road. This is the same thing that happened when the Celica came out.

What's your point? That's how every car is except for things that cost over $80k because that helps keep them RARE.

The Celica didn't have 1/10 the hype that the Z does....

The Z is now of legendary status.

The Celica is just a little girls econobox grown up.

I better start wearing some "Depends" because the first time I see a 350Z on the road, I'm gonna piss myself.
