Linus27 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Interesting topic. To me, the Zed has always been one of the FEW sports cars (that is within reach of purchasing for the average person),.. that still exists and is designed proper (looks wise) -- AND has the engine/suspension to back it up. It's bar none the best all around sports car for the money without a doubt right now and frankly for the last 11 years. (Counting the 370..).. I got mine for $17,500,.. but it had 26k Miles,.. so I got a steal but it wasn't a DIRT cheap car which can be had with the Zed now that their are such old models (11 yrs for example).. which can be had from anywhere from 1k - 10k,.. obviously the lower you go the higher miles, lower year, and more beat up it is.. and higher you go (generally) in purchase price the lower miles, newer, and better condition. But, even if you consider brand new 35-40k it's still the best value out there. Where else can you get 300+ HP, with the looks bordering on supercar (definitely as good looking as many porches, better than Corvettes imho,.. and better than many more expensive cars.).. Handling with 4 wheel independent multilink+multilink Over .9G's in Lateral ,.. Sits STOCK on 18" wheels with 225/45 front and 245/45 rear, 71+ mph in 700ft slalom, Beefy Brakes, Stock 0-60 in 5 Seconds, 6 Speed trans, and a Top speed of 170mph (and higher with a few mods and tune).. That doesn't even consider it's looks, it's rather "large" interior that Nissan wisely didn't do a 2+2 with rear seats giving the front two driver/pass a TON of room, Dedicated gauge pods over Headunit area,.. RPM gauge is your main gauge,.. and the list just goes on. To be 100% honest , there isn't another Car I would buy over this '08 350 Zed I have under about 80-100k.. Nothing appeals more to me. But, that's me! In the 90's we had a great deal of sportscars.. from the 300ZedX, Stealth, 3000GT, MR2, Supra, Eclipse (hey they weren't bad looking then), NSX (pricey.. but still proves the point), and more.. Then the 00's+ hit... and Sportscars under 50k just aren't very widespread, and in general cars in general are MOSTLY ugly.. bubble designs, etc. So, again, The Zed is one of the few remaining Beautiful Cars on the road.. and thank god for that eh? I mean look at it.. everyone can't keep their hands off them I wish my mum wouldn't keep climbing over my car, it's getting very embarrassing, especially when I pop to Sainsburys for some milk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OV53 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Pulled up at the lights next to a Corsa VXR who was giving it the nails ahead of me and asked if it was standard, to which he replied "yeah it's still under warranty, what's in that a 2 litre?", to which I replied "yeah mate right on the money!"

spursmaddave Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) How have I missed the point? The OP said someone on FB thought their Zed was a Vauxhall, I was saying why is that a bad thing?

OV53 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The OP opened a discussion about annoying comments about the zed, my post was merely stating that this uneducated VXR driver thought that the zed had a 2.0 in it. No racing took place, only a display of what a "2 litre" engine sounds like. But you got the point, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
