What Makes the Nissan 350z a Strong Competitor in the World of Sports Cars?

[Monique]

Nissan 350z is a strong competitor

[Physics is Phun]

wow. those are exactly the 2 cars that I would be looking at if I had the money. Mine just wouldn't be black. Although I really do like the the look of the 05 mustang as well! I don't know how it drives though.

 

[Curious3141]

Ah ! A car topic ! Cars are my passion (apart from Physics and Mathematics).

I love TVR too, but I'd take the Sagaris over the Tuscan. In fact I'd take the ferocious Cerbera Speed 12 over either of them. Alas the latter was never actually released in its final intended form.

But I'd really prefer a Noble M400, I consider it an excellent and raw sportscar plus weekend track car. For pure fun value, I'd take an Ariel Atom.

As far as "refined" luxury sports models go, I'd take a BMW M5 (the new one).

Expensive supercars - this is a difficult choice between the Enzo and the Carrera GT. Overall, the breeding of the Ferrari wins out.

Budget performers (all I can really afford at this time) - definitely either the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 or the Subaru WRX/STi Spec C. I actually used to drive and love a heavily modified WRX not so long ago.

[infinitetime]

I'd rather not dream of the cars I want, until I can buy them...

:uhh: ok, fine...i really would want the 2005 SLK55 AMG Roadster mercedes convertible, red, with gray interior, v8 engine, handsfree communication system, navigation, etc, etc, etc...

yeah, ok, maybe you can dream a little...

 

[Kerrie]

one that's paid for

 

[Monique]

one that's paid for

Definately, if you buy a car of €25,000 with a 3 year payment plan, you'll pay €7500 extra.. enough to buy a small car with.

what's your problem?

 

[marlon]

what's your problem?

my problem is your lack of insight/respect in/of human emotions. You clearly do not understand what it means to buy a car. It is not an object on four wheels, you know. That is what a car needs, but what a car is : is FREEDOM...But i think you are not that kind of person. I have no problem with that though...

[Danger]

No question about it! My absolute dream car, the one that I just have to get my hands on if only for an hour before I die, is the '66 Hemi Superbird (standard shift, of course).
I also very much want a Bugatti Veyron.

got any pictures of these cars ?

I should point out 2 things here; the Superbird was made in '70, and its sister car the Daytona was a year older. My original year reference is that the 'real' Hemi is generally referred to as the '66 to differentiate it from the older DeSoto hemi's and the new Chrysler ones.
Hold on while I go find the Veryon to edit in. Aha, here it is:Veyron

I lived in the United States without a car, I know what it means.

You poor thing! You must be traumatized!

 

[Monique]

You poor thing! You must be traumatized!

If you consider that it was in Detroit, you'd think I would be :rofl: but I found my way on my bicycle.. there was one time though that I thought a guy would pull a gun on me, while I had accidentally sneaked up on him and changed my gears.. he jumped around so fast

 

[brewnog]

My realistic car forecast is as follows:

Next 2 years - Caterham 7 http://www.easytrack.co.uk/members/cars/2526-1.jpg

Next 5 years - Lotus Elise

Next 10 years - TVR Tuscan

After that, I suppose it'll just depend how rich I am.

 

[Danger]

I'm looking for a good picture of a 1932 Cord, love those.

Yeah, the Cord was pretty cool. That's the one with the straight 36, right?

What did you post those pictures as? I've just got red x's showing.

 

[Danger]

I know that if I heard the menacing click-clank of a derailleur behind me, I'd be shooting before asking questions.
Now that I think about it, I want one of everything mentioned in this thread.

I'll repost them as links, hold on.

The ultimate car for me is the Porsche 917K in Gulf livery.

She's a beauty and the fastest production car ever built - longtail version top speed - 394kph / 246mph for longtail

Specs on the 917 - http://www.cknet.org.uk/html/specification.asp

From the look of that thing, you'd have to stick your knees up your nose to sit down in it.

I like the classics

It's not for Sunday driving - it's the need for speed.

As it is, it's pretty uncomfortable - as are most Formula 1 racing cars. The requirment is minimal cross-sectional area for minimal resistance.

Now if we put the right kind of turbine in one of those guys, one could open up a little. On the other hand, there are certain materials than can conform to one's body than could be used.

If I just want to get around, I would drive a Honda Civic, standard or hybrid.

Thanks, Evo. Those are nice too. I particularly like the Phantom. It has a nice menacing look from that angle.

I seems to me that the guy who designed the movie version of the Batmobile should be suing someone here. :tongue:

I thought that thing didn't have any wheels until I scrolled all the way over. Having just seen something about a new high-speed amphibious car, I thought maybe that was it.
