I am in LOOOOOOVE....

[Balthazar]

Just got back from a test-drive of my next car
A stunning Nissan 350Z with Nismo upgrades from the dealer cranking out about 327 HP....oh my that car is sexy

Anyone around here got one of these? I have a few questions that the dealer couldn't answer. First, the clutch comes WAY out, is that just something you get used to or is it kinda a pain, second, how obnoxious is the rear window? I mean it's pretty tiny but does it cause a problem? I only test-drove it on some back roads so I didn't really get a feel for either of those issues. Awesome car though, I assume the stock ones are just as nice, but omg that Nismo package is awesome, that car was just....jaw-dropping....

Anyway, if anyones got some feedback on those two issues I would greatly appreciate it. As long as they are not horrible pains in the @ss I think I am dead set on that baby. That thing shift like a dream!

Theres a couple of people here with one... how much was the sticker price on the one you test drove?

 

[Balthazar]

Ummmmm, I believe it was right around $39,000, thats with Nismo CAI, Catback, Navigation, and it was a Track model.

I saw one on the road today...beauty. but not as beautiful as the altimas..imo.

Drive behind a lancer today..silver...same exact car. i felt cool. 2 lancers on the highway. w00t!

The key to an overbuilt chasis like a 350z is hp...massive amounts of it. Over the last few months seeing the 350z, its really grown on me. I used to prefer the longer wheelbase G35 coupe....but now the short truncated looks of the 350z is more appealing. Pray for turbo version...none of this intake/exhaust business.

I don't think we'll get a turbo version from the factory just yet... if they did that... it'll go the way of the 300ZX.

Actually, the package I want to get includes, headers, CAI, catback, cams, flywheel and brake upgrades from Nismo, I think at that point it would pretty well hold its own against a LOT of cars, icluding the S2000.

I also liek em because you don't see them EVERYWHERE. Everytime I hit 270 it seems I see at least one S2000. That and I hate Honda Even their "sporty" cars are kinda plain.

The overall feel of the Z was just really nice. SMOOTH shifting, nice clutch feel, great response....and I absolutely adore the styling

I'd also be willing to bet wieh the upgrades it would have no problem getting rid of an EVO.
