300ZX Fun   Posted Sat Nov 2, 02   10:00 PM     

Weya!
That's all I have to say. Me and my bud got to drive his mom's boyfriend's 300ZX Twin Turbo, shawing! He even let us get on it, (their driveway is like a little over a 1/4 mile. Just made me realise how trully slow my civ is

That's what I get for not having 8000 bucks to buy a 300ZX :P

Re: 300ZX Fun   Posted Sun Nov 3, 02   1:33 PM     

is the 300ZX mid-engine?? someone told me they were... I dont know jack shit about 'em... i've just seen a couple of 'em out here fully decked out with fart cans and park benches... but I heard their mid-engined and i dont think they look like it, but i also dont think the DeLorean looks mid-engined, but it is... Is the 300ZX the one called the Blacklady Z? (i think thats what i remember a Z car being called... not sure)

I owned the 300zx TT and have driven the new 350Z. BOTH are hella awesome, I would rather have them than a porsche. They honestly preform about the same as each other but the 350Z is just a little smoother and has more luxuries.

The 300ZX is front engine rear wheel drive, like all Z cars as far as I know. In Japan they are called Fairlady Z's

yeah, the 350Z is quick, but it has room for improvement.

I'd go with the last 300zx TT, it seems like the new one is too geared towards driving comfort instead of performance, plus the previous has a grip of aftermarket support Hey matt, did you ever have to work on your Z, they look like a bitch since it's all crammed in. The guy who let us drive his is replacing the knock sensor and he has to pull the tranny, ouch

i have always felt that nissan has built a sweet car. im even impressed with the new maximas. 260 hp with a 5 speed. thats sweet, they are a nice confortable car with some power and thats what i like about my GTP. i even hear that the new altimas pack a good punch.

Nessian doesn't mess around with cars I find. The altima and maxima are fine automobiles. and YES I did minor work in the Z, but it wasn't like the end of the world. it's a little cramped in the engine but nothing that made me want to kill myself. however I didn't do much to it, besides replacing some parts. It kicked ass to begin with, I didn't have the money to supe it up at the time anyway.

Ya.. the Fairlady Z.. I remembered that while my calculus prof was up in front blabbing about sinusoidal eqations.. lol...

but ya... i dont remember who, but someone told me the 300zx was mid-engine... i never thought so, but i just had to ask... i have a thing for mid-engined cars... not sure why... hehe...

but ya... the local autocross league, Spokes.org, has some guy that autoX's his 350Z... its a badass car with that 6-speed tranny and the 3.5L 6 Cylinder engine...

and yes... Nissan makes some badassed cars... the altima is not that fast... i mean... they advertise it with like 235 HP, but it really isn't that fast considering its pushing 4000 pounds or something... (i'm not sure, its just a bigass car)

now... the Nissan Skyline... now THATS a badassed car... I fell in love with the Skyline R34 V-Spec II when I saw a R32 on IH-35... and, sadly, when I saw the skyline in F&F.... but ya.. Nissan has made some pretty neat cars... i also like the 200SX... i have a friend with one of them... its a 14.5 second car... but he runs 16's 'cuz he's not the best driver in the world and the 5-speed is not his friend... hehe... the 14,5 seconds was when i drove it... not great, but its a'ight...

anywho...

the Z cars are all pretty badass... i really like the older Z's... like the 280Z.. thats a pretty sweet car...

It's all about the original 240z. Those were the best
