Mr Knight Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Evening all! I'm currently looking for a car to build as a 'toy' and the 350Z is one of the candidates so thought I'd register and get some info. My current fun wagon is my Focus RS mk2 tuned to over 400bhp and it is an absolute animal however I'm fairly limited to how far I can take things without having a detrimental effect on her residual value, plus FWD is great but again it has its limits. The 350Z ticks a few boxes in terms of being a RWD coupe with a strong engine and they are certainly value for money. I'm from the Chester area and seen a fair few Z's knocking around and they look gorgeous, there's a kitted up white one parked down the road from me which looks tasty! I have also had a couple of run ins with a loud black Z driven by a blonde lady who was keen to play (no pun intended). Edited September 17, 2013 by Mr Knight Quote
Humpy Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Welcome to the forum If your wanting big hp expect a big wallet needed to achieve this. Quote
aidan Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Evening. 400hp and fwd?? That sounds interesting. Unfortunately the 350/370zs take mucho money to get near that HP. Quote

Mines fairly tame, there are 500bhp ones knocking around my owners club and even one that's firing out 700 horses at the flywheel. Quote

Hmm, I've seen a couple of white ones locally, one was a roadster, the other a coupe looked like it had been wrapped. Is this one an import, ie square plates? Pete Quote

Pete It's a coupe and has UK plates, very JDM looking though! Quote
Mr Knight Posted September 19, 2013 Author Posted September 19, 2013 Cheers guys. I'm aware that I won't get anywhere near the power I have now but the downside to my RS is that power is very difficult to put down at lower speeds, she'll happily spin the tyres in 3rd. Quote
