Drivin around Saturday I saw what I thought was a 2006 up GT at a Nissan
dealer so I stopped to check it out and mabey test drive. Turned out to
be a Roush with only 10k on it for 30 grand. (out of my range) So the
salesman talked me into test driving a 03 350 Z. I thought I might like it
since it was in mint cond. low miles automatic. Wrong, It was really
uncomfortable, the seats are tiny and you feel like your sitting in a hole. The
window sill is at sholder level almost. Very rough hard jittery ride, my car felt
like a cadilac after that. Live and learn.......
I'm not a fan of the 350z, but being one of the only import enthusiests on this site I'll play devil's advocate for a bit. On top of that...I used to sell Nissan.
The car isn't for everyone, it sits low, and you sit even lower in the cockpit. The view is limited, and the seats (if you're large) are not comfortable. I think for the money they aren't really worth it, but they are good cars. Honestly you're probably like me, and a little too big for your britches like many American's are. The hard and jittery ride is due to the fact that the car is not made for straight line performance and is more centered towards corning and touge.
At least import drivers know their place in the food chain, the drivers of the cars I mentioned rarely do. I mean seriously when I see a Corvette or a Viper I do not try to **** with him and get him to race me, why the **** do those guys always have to do it to me?
Yeah, we know our place, why don't domestic owners know theirs? While drag racing I have had numerous occurances of domestic owners making fun of me (and then watching me blast off an 11 second pass). At one local drag strip I was not allowed to run against domestic cars, and had to be in an sport compact class where "YAY" I got to run against 17 second Saturns.
One track anouncer said "How many 120mph passes does this car left before it blows!?". To answer the question, about 6 and then I drove it home 2 hours
I'm a fan of fast, I'm not a fan of looks, styling, big rims, loud exhausts, body kits, HID headlights, snazzy paint jobs, or anything like that. If it's fast, I want to race it, if I can't beat it, I want to buy it.
You are so right about that...except the ricers that seem to fart-can up my side all the time.
Yeah and I've had 94 GT mustangs try to race my 500hp evo in the rain....that's smart. There are douchebags on every side of the spectrum. Thinking that what type of car you drives affects this just removes the doubt of your ignorance.
All of that being said, I consider myself an equal opportunity racer. I've destroyed cars on both sides, and been destroyed by both sides. Racing is fun, that's what it should be. My car is not an extension of my penis.
