If 370Z is 4 seater, and around 10K lower, I will be seriously thinking of that....

around 54K Can on the road price for that, and only 2 seats.... Compare to 62K Can on the road price for a 335i coupe...

Does it really worth it to get a 370Z?? I really don't think so....
THANK YOU superturbo, thats what im saying everyones been saying 370 370 370, yea... well a 370 is tiny, and 2 seats. and if i wanted a car that powerful i woulda just gotten the evo 10. AWD. and shat on everyone. but i've always wanted the rx-8 since it was introduced to the market in 2004. and i finally got one. i wanted it before i got the Versa but couldnt afford it at the time.

the price of the rx-8 was dropped to $29,800, and the trade in was $8,000. after taxes and all i payed $23,756 for this R3 model, with the whole Recaro bucket seats, 19" forged rims, bilstein shocks, body kit, spoiler, front and rear braces, and 3 point strut bar. after warranty is up ima see wat i can do to it for drifting fun

I wouldn't even go over 60 in a $30,000 car and you are thinking about drifting in it? Man I wish I had money to waste like that.

R3 is a good one! I can't believe the GT model in Canada is 1K more than that R3.

For EVO10, it's good, I really like it, but I am hoping for the wagon version rather than sedan.... (I would say a EVO5 looking wagon will be amazin, rather than the EVO10 look)

370Z... Nissan again.... I really have no idea what they are thinkin, the legendary 350Z is almost a joke already. Heavy, and slow, and.... Fxxking Expensive!!!

This yr, they trim all 3 things down to a more reasonable stage, but.... still WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!!!! If I can afford a 370Z, why not a STi or 335i or EVO? Yes... STi uglier, and it's 4dr. but it kills a stupid 370Z with a cheaper price tag, and WAY bigger space to upgrade. Basically you can spend about 1K to give the STi another 30-60HP easily... Same as the other 2, just a piggy back will do the job

I would say basically Nissan still have no idea of what the hell are they doing for the coming future.... for 370Z, if they are not going to amke a REAL 4 seater with lower price tag, forget it....

btw, for your RX8, I recommend you to rev it more when it's brand new rather than drive it slowly. (Although it have way less engine problem compare to the back then RX7, but still... they still do have many engine problems)

Another thing is, check how to Run-in your LSD, don't drive it around the town for that many yet! a car with real LSD, a proper run-in is a MUST!!

A few things to counter:

Sports cars are 2 seaters. Even that RX8 has pretty much useless rear seats.

The Z has never really been an affordable car. The Z32 TT in the '90s was over $40k, yes that's more expensive than the 370Z with less hp. Not exactly sure on the RX, but I'm sure new they are getting close to 370 prices with much less hp and no torque.

Well he does need more than 2 seats. Otherwise how can he carry people around with his ego?

Since you are a girl, I guess it will be a good question to ask you! LOL

If 2 guys are trying to date you in a sudden (let say on the street)

N.O. 1 guy drives a Japanese sport car (Mitshubi Eclipse, or EVO or STi, or RX8)

N.O. 2 guys drives a European sport car (Benz CLK, C Class or BMW 335i coupe, or VW Golf)

[Pretty much lower end sport car or coupe only, no Lambo, no NSX]

Who's car will you jump into? (Let's assume both of them look exactly identical) Or you can assume both of their face looks like 370Z!
