The Second Official Car Thread

[DT]

They're OK perky for a mid-level "sporty" sedan. The woman had a 325Ci, but it was an auto and convertible which took a little of the potential away.

[megadeth]

cause I raced one at a light and blew him away. I was pretty proud of myself.

the new 370z comes out in June, DT.............get that b4 a s2k. All the fun plus torque.

was this before or after your hid's? They add like 5hp.

[LiveToSkim]

the 370 looks much better than the 350 in my opinion.
for anyone who hasn't seen it,

[DT]

Are they doing a Coupe and Convertible the first year? Honestly, the current car in the used market is probably a much better deal (but likely close to just getting the C6).

Checking out some scooters..........

i think they are doing a 370 coupe and a 350 (previous gen) conv for 2010. There has been a convertible 370 mule spotted but it might be for 2011.

Stats are looking good. They shortened it and made it an inch wider. Numbers are looking like 315-330 hp.

For the hell of it I check some roadster 350Z prices and they're way lower than I originally thought. Some clean, low mileage cars around $19K-22K. That would leave "fun money" for insane wheels and some _boost_ (or pocket it and get our new projector).

[tonyc]

Yeah, it was 4 years older than his 996 (that I think was a 2001 vs. his '97 993).

oops..my bad; hey 2001's can be had for early 40's..quite a bargain...no glove box though.

buyers market...easy money hard to come buy...cash is king...04 E55 for high 20's, lots of peeps upside down..

[CaboWabo]

The front of the 370z looks sick, but the rear is just so-so. It's also looking Porschey in the rear, which isn't exactley a bad thing...just don't like the tails.


EDIT: Nvm I see what it is...the tails look similar to the 997 GT3 tails...just turned vertical.

[tonyc]

^ nice interior..

[CaboWabo]

The cockpit looks wonderful and the last photo REALLY looks Zish. Looks like the original Z.

[Mapdash]

yeah cabo, it has more of that 240/280 look to it. With the rounded off shorter ass. The official specs are released tomorrow (weight, official hp/trq etc) we shall see.

I think it is pretty sick.

[CaboWabo]

Just when Dale thought his sports car fix was done...the 370z happens.

[Mapdash]

haha...nah.....all of us 350z fan boys have known the z34 was coming for a while. The only thing it prompted me to do was get rid of my z33 before this came out.

Resale on z33's is going to plummet.

[Pat-Juh]

not digging the headlights... Starts looking a little bit like a concept car from Porsche..

[DJ-NJ]

the rear reminds me of the new eclipses... gross.

very SICK car though..
and i really hate small, squished interiors but that looks fracking sexy right there

[LAXitives288]

I'm liking the 370. Everyone is going retroish now a days.

[GnipGnop]

Looks like a 928/new Jag XK from the back. I like the compactness of the S2K better, but you can't really compare the two.

[megadeth]

I don't know if I like the 370.... It is still to bubbly in the ass for me...

[LAXitives288]

The 350's ass isnt all that spectacular either.

[megadeth]

rsx box ass ftw.

I figured you were up on the current pics, but I knew you totally dug on white, so I went ahead and posted 'em.

You'll never believe where I found them too.

Dude are you serious about that? If you are that is fine, and i will prepare my ridiculously long list of vtak jokes.......but i just cant see you going from a V8 to a 4. I mean wtf?

Have your vette forum buddies caught wind of this yet? I assume not. They will blow a gasket.........laughing.

[Mapdash]

btw DT......they are asking 153k for the spec v GTR. gasp.

[DT]

HOLY STICKERS!!!!!!!


The GTR **definitely** looks better in "gray scale" colors (white/black/silver/gray) vs. yellow/red. I've love to see a few of those black ones de-stickered, they look pretty insane.
