i like the 350z, looks wise. But it is sorta disappointment. I mean 10 years ago the 300zx TT was runnin the same times as the new 350 is. I owuld think i n10 years they could make a little improvement in the performance. I think the same thing about the rx-8 only the rx-8 is even worse. The TT rx-7s were mid 13's stock which is preety damn fast fora stock car and they also responded well to mods( they just werent reliable, to much boost didnt go well with the rotary). And also 10 years later they come out with the rx-8, not only is it not as fast but it is more than a second slower. highs 14's is a dsgrace for performance orriented name as the RX.
I don't think it was Nissan's or Mazda's intent to make these cars tremedously faster then the one's in the 90's.. but affordable..
96 Turbo went for like 40 grand plus... now you can get one
same performance 26 grand or lower.
Besides.. 0-60 5.5 isn't that bad, heck most people would probably try to kill thereselves racing them if they were like the vettes 4.5 seconds or so and 170..
