I've been hearing that a lot of 350Z owners are disappointed in it's power/speed. It might corner good, but what about it's acceleration? I don't know, but would like to hear about it if anyone has any "first hand accounts".

:cool:

I agree it's cheesy, but it is there for a good reason.  I had the spoiler deleted altogether on mine.

They are named "Jacky" here , I don't want to use the IMG tag in case minor are reading the BBS but I've linked some examples of a discipline called "tunning" here.

The STI could have a wing like a 747 and I would still buy one.


I finally ran into an STI the other day!.  We were even on Queen Creek road which is a wide open 4 lane road.  That's where the excitement ends though, the STI was being driven conservatively by a woman and I was in my truck. Still, I had wanted to see one on the road.  They aren't very pretty cars.

The weather is perfect here right now so I have the 'vette out on the weekends and usually drive it one day during the week too.

maybe I'll get lucky. :)

     What I do know is that it looks like a ricer, therefore, IMO, it is one. I know more about older cars, except for my GTP, which I know a lot about. I based my opinion on the looks of the car, which sux.
     How many engines have you taken apart and put together LAWCobra? I've done a few. But maybe you're some mechanic for a race team or something. I don't know. Like I said twice before, it looks like crap.

Don't waste your breath Cobra, some guys put jingoism/patriotism/(racism?) above engineering and performance.  They are more interested in the badge on the car or the styling than what the car can actually do.

Wrong ?
No Cobra ,it's pretty funny to see some massacred car like that :D

Except when they start to loose some duct-taped part on road like it happened to me some month ago ...
But styrofoam is not very dangerous :)

As I'm a kind man I give your the URL of the French "ricer" repository :
http://www.thejackytouch.com/

On the left menu click one "Jackymobile" ,mobs moto and pot de yaourt (try to survive those picts :))
