So whats does everyone think about 2003 Nissan Z??

Im really starting to like it!! they say its gonna have a 3.5L engine with 260hp... sounds nice. They also say its gonna be under 6seconds 0-60, and under $30,000!! This car would be fun to have, i just cant picture it being an everyday driver..

Are you talking about the car chase scene where John Travolta shoots up all those black SUV's? If so, that wasn't the new Z. It's a TVR Tuscan.

Go here: http://www.tvr-eng.co.uk/graphics/tu...ents_tusc.html

But, I'm afraid I don't know too much about the car. What I could find on the net is not very consistent in terms of performance data. I've found hp ratings ranging from 360 hp to 380 hp. 0-60 mph times from 4.0 seconds to 5.0 seconds. 1/4 mile anywhere from 14 seconds and under.

I think the Z looks like a taller Porsche 911.

I think it looks pretty cool. Mind you, that's probably not what the production car is gonna look like..

Anyone notice this car is also premiering in a PDG colour?

Too round and the headlight is too narrow, but the biggest problem is we need to wait too long for it.

I agree, as long as it has most of the interior features of our cars, it's a good deal. With that engine, it's basically a Maxima coupe, right? For high-20k range, I'd take it.

The styling is not so good. The engine is a suped up Pathfinder/Maxima engine. I don't know--I'd like to see someone do some more forced induction stuff and why not Nissan? How about two nice like high revving, quick spooling turbos in there?

The New Z is being built from the ground up. It is rumored that the engine is coming from the new Q45 and will be totally redone oncew it's placed in the Z.

I think the car looks great, it has the clasdsic Z lines and it'll be another legend in itself.
