looks best in the blu, not so sure about the strip on the first one
-
Everytime I see it I just think of the Audi TT
-
i was gonna say same thing, it does look very familiar
-
Yeah, it does resemble the Audi alot...but lately I cant get my mind off of Ferrari\'s newest creation

SportCompactCar magazine had two pics next to each other a few months ago of a 350Z and a TT. Both were profie shots, and they looked almost identical. In reality, I think the Z is bigger, so the scale of the two pics was slightly different.
If/When that Greddy twin turbo kit comes out, these Zs are going to become frightening! Still I would not buy one in the first model year. I\'m still reading about so many little problems people are having on the my350z.com website. I would wait until the third model year to buy one, if I was going to. Then you could have a choice of a convertible version as well. I think a targa roof would be better on the 350Z, but that\'s just me.
This is one of the few cars I\'ve seen that I thought NEEDED some body kit work. The Nismo kit parts really help alot, especially on the front end. The divider in the grill opening and the lip really improves the toylike appearance of the stock version.
-
I love the kit on the orange one, though I think it would look excellent in a bright red or black with the same kit.
I don\'t like the gold mags though.
-
Is the 350Z sold in Australia yet? I heard it was mostly developed for the US market, and I think the UK and Europe are still waiting.
-
We get it in Feburary. They expect to sell around 500 a year here, its a real competitor to the Boxster here, because its got the same performance etc, at a much cheaper price because its a Jap car and not a Euro.
Euro cars are more expensive here, Jap and US cars are really quite cheap.

hahah touche\'
It has been a long day, sue me :)

I like it like dat!! Thanks for the pics luckee. My 90 Maxima had a huge problem with the tranny at 170k so I took it to the mechanic. He said I needed a rebuild for about $2,000 (no thx). When I went to pick it up expecting it to f00k up again it drove perfectly fine. And 2k miles later it still drives great. Hah! Mechanic shmanic. Nissan isforMEsan!
-
Man, those are some sweet pics. :)

Wait a second... First the car "had a huge problem with the tranny" (which I guess you noticed yourself) then the mechanic looked at it, did nothing, and now it\'s working fine? I would be very suspicious if I were you. I would expect a catastrophic transmission failure any time now, if you keep driving it. It will probably happen at low speed, or while shifting into reverse or something. Good luck!
-
Very nice car, pity they are not available in the UK yet.
-
How much do one of those cost?
-
$26,809 - $34,619
-
I know it\'s gonna screw up sooner or later. Just pointing out that Nissan really builds them to last. Most guys on the Max forums I visit say it usually fails by just trying to gas it and nothing happens.
Those body styles above look kinda tacky if ya ask me, I like this bosy style the best:

It would suck so bad to have a brand spankin\' new car messed up like that.
I\'d be forced to cry.

Heh, I just walked into the door from SEMA and Iwas going to tell you about the Z. Holy shit were there ever a lot of them. Between the Z and the new H2 hummer it was just nuts.
The greddy is great, but it\'s all prototype stuff and they threw it together over the past 2 weeks. Nothing will be available for the Z for at least a year.
SEMA was freaking amazing. I\'ve never walked so much in my life. Some amazing cars. I snapped a few pics I\'ll post tomorrow.
-
Damn, you were at SEMA man? I wish I would have known. I was there for a few days myself checking it out. We could have had a few beers or went gambling..hell you could have joined us at Olympic Gardens ;) ;)
PS, Im still going through the pix I took. Who ever starts a SEMA pic post, lets just post in the same thread instead of creating seperate ones.

YOU ARE SHITTING ME!!!!
OMG, the people I was with were so freaking boring. I went out alone every night. Except we all went to dinner at Paris Friday night.
Ah the fun of going out for free and expensing everything.
Brought back home 500 smackers to boot. Rock on..
That sucks I wish we could have hooked up. I made several posts that I was going to be gone all week out in Vegas. Wish you would have seen them.
