I just read an import mag where they got a 14.0 @101mph with it. Looks like it is as fast as a well driven GT.

I wonder how fast the japaneze version is.

HMMMMMMM......... I have not seen this thread yet...
Ya'll know i"ve had 2 Z's...totalled one and traded the other for the 6 banger Stang Verte.

I have to agree w/ SRV...I'd take that old body style ANY TIME...it looks a little to 'bubbly' for me...IMHO of corse. The door handles DO look funky. The one thing I loved about the Z's was the SLEEKNESS of the body...I think it lost alot of that look and resembles some of the other cars ya'll mentioned..
Not that I would not take it if someone bought me one!

But, the older body style if my fave...I"ll have to try to dig up some old pics of my Old Z's....
Im not dogging it out....I'll always love those cars..and it sounds like it will SCOOT!

I was anxious to see one..had not seen the pics yet..thanks Deuce!

I like the new Z car. But I really like the new G35 Coupe from Infinity. This is likely the car I'm buying when I finally finish PT school. 280 bhp isn't too bad, and it outperforms the BMW 330i. Not bad for a luxury sport.

My father bought a silver one 2 weeks ago. The comfort is unmatched and the handling is amazing. You can literally take an offramp above 60 or 70 and not feel the body even flex. Amazing egineering.

The gauge cluster moves as you adjust the steering wheel. You can set the shift light at any RPM you'd like, and the six speed is nice until you try to find 6th, and wind up in 4th repeatedly. Oh, and reverse takes some getting used to....

Shift light? Did he get the track model, because I've yet to hear about such a thing.

No, he bought the "touring model." It's not a "shift light" in the traditional sense (a large yellow light mounted above the dash). It is a small orangish-red light located in the middle of the Tach that blinks rapidly when you reach the set RPMs. You can set it anywhere from 3,000 to somewhere around 5,500 (not sure because my father got pissed after I bumped it to 4,000 before there was even 30 miles on here.... :> )
