I saw the front of a silver one. It was parked on the sidewalk not on the street. Man did it look good. I think I would have gotten shot if I got out of my truck and looked at it.

I want to make a trip to the dealership to take a gander at it.

i killed a black one on the highway (before anyone chimes in here, im sure it was racing because he initiated it) . i also sat in a silver one. the visibility is craptacular, and it feels like you are sitting 3 feet lower then the car was designed to have seating at. not to mention it just emits the tanklike weight when you're sitting there.

I see them here and there. Theres an orange one similar to the first concept car over by one of my stops. I've seen the 350 up close, but never sat in one yet. I think the styling is great and it'll help the Nissan marque out a lot here in the states.

there are a few out here prowling around.
i think some kid was drivin his dads a week or two ago. he was roastin his tires out like he didn't have to pay for'em.
i aint never sat in one but everytime i'm at the dealer for parts i'm the last one there after the place closes.

Its...just not that great...in any fashion. Honestly, it needs a turbo model, thats where all the Zs have really made their huge debuts anyways.

Oh and, 2f0xy, *SLAP*. Thats for quoting TF&TF in ur sig...

Well this Z is faster than the Z32 Twin Turbo, so it does have some speed to it and all natural motor. So Turbo that bad boy and you'll be out. I saw the gold/orange color one and even though its not my favorite color it looked hot!!! I would now buy one. 18's are hot and basically its a hot car.

turbo it how? have you seen how horribly cramped the engine bay on the new z is? the headers literally come out and pass an inch from the inner fender wall. id like to see the crazy manifold/downpipe design of someone who managed to pull it off tho.
