these are just opinions, not bashing on your dreams or goals, but the bigger picture is always more important.
6 Months and 12K miles later, I haven't had a single issue.

I don't drive "nicely" either

All the BS about the so-called Tranny issue is overblown nonsense.

I'm glad so many people are stepping up to tell me how they would have spent my money if they were me though...

so a 350Z/370Z handles like a 280ZX? lol

I'm fairly positive it could out corner any 70-89 stock z, but the ride just reminded me a an s130. and 12k miles aint that much for a car to start showing itself, look at the 350z the 03's didnt start having a major oil consumption issue's until like 05. just saying though not trying to down you or your car or trying to sound offensive, just expressing my opinion and experience on the subject.

I used to have a S130 and I loved it. That said, the 350Z will run circles around it....


And Rod, I'm seriously jealous. Any pics??

I'd take the Viper over the ZR1.

I'd take a Lamborghini Murcielago over any of them....of course thats a whole new price range all together.

the problem with the viper and lambo is that the few good drivers who own them have separate cars for track days.

I like the GT-R, myself...but haven't driven one yet. Are they AWD? I thought they were RWD? Damn, that kind of blows it for me. I like RWD.
