The fact that the most use the LSD will probably see is from driving around the Starbucks parking lot. ;)

I wasn't gonna post but this got me going. The other day, I was driving around a G35, and it made me rethink whether I should bother getting another car. There's not much difference between the G35 and my accord in casual driving. The VQ engine is pretty sweet, but I couldn't even rev it through one gear from a roll on surface streets without getting into seriously illegal speeds.

I have the buy another car itch, but when I think about it, it's not justifiable. :(

I think that car is the only serious contender against European cars yet to come from Asia. It's a very impressive machine. The exhaust note is dreadful though. I'd say the same of an M3 though. Mp3 playback though, that's cool stuff! You have to buy an ipod to do that in your BMW. :p

and i thought the 280hp is the limit for the VQ35DE, I mean, aftermarket tweakers have trouble modding the 350z over 300hp.

Really? I love the exhaust note on the G35. Very mechanical sounding, not boomy or coffee-can style.

Uh, GReddy has a twin-turbo kit out for the 350Z that pushes close to 400rwhp.

How so when a stock 350Z makes 287?

Available and stable. My friend has had it on his 350Z since May.

And that's good that you qualified your statement after I told you about the turbo kit. ;)

It is available, but not stable. Basically the engine has to be rebuilt to accomodate the kit.

It is stable, and it doesn't have to be rebuilt.

Okay, I'll back it up. I helped my friend install the GReddy twin-turbo kit back in May. Took about 4 weekends. No engine rebuild. Car has been running smooth and stable on pump gas since then. Dynoed at 365rwhp (low boost setting). Need more?

Yes, how about backing your claim that the car can make 400rwhp. (hint: it can't without new pistons, headgasket and other various internal engine parts)
