WhackyWill Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 How many super cars do you think will be there if they're letting 350Zs in? They clearly have a ton of spare room and are filling it with any old thing. Bit harsh... :scare: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nowhereboy Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 haha interesting. I've got to be honest I just don't find "supercars" particularly appealing anyway, not sure why? Maybe it's because its an unacheivable car for me to own I dunno. All I know is a ferrari can drive past me and I'll barely look twice, a modded jap car and I get all exited haha.... I think the shape and style of the Z is still good enough to attract attention, even if it's parked next to cars worth 100X its value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Because no-one here is stupid enough to think the 350Z is a supercar. It's a super car, but not a supercar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINKJ Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 No but neither is a standard Porsche or a Jag but we seem to hear more about them than z's on this forum! Just because the z is now relatively cheap it doesn't make it any less of a car. Clearly Will doesn't actually think a z is a 200k supercar. It's merely a bit of fun. Maybe I just have a bee in my bonnet about the daily z hating posts I read on here 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 If you can point me out one single post where I, or anyone else, has said that a standard Jag or Porker is a supercar, I'll buy you a 10kg tub of Jelly Babies. Also, if you bother to read my posts on this thread, or anywhere else, you'll see I talk the 350Z up as a bloody good car and that I'd take one over the many rivals. But of course, that would take time and effort, and it's far easier to take the lazy route and simply state that anyone who no longer owns a Zed but still sticks around because this is a great place to be must hate all Zeds and always puts them down. But hey, whatever floats your boat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Just got to jump on Ekonas post here as well, the Zed is a fantastic car for the money .......... but dont kid yourself it can run with cars that cost £10's of K more, because it cant and doesnt. If we take a C4S, a Jag XKR and a 350Z from 2006, the list prices were £72K, £69K and £25K. Depreciation means that all 3 cars are now roughly in the same price bracket but dont fool yourself that they are equal, the Porsche cost nearly 3 times as much to start with! Funnily enough I get the same grief on SXOC for describing the Z33 as a better car than an S14. Is that because Im a hater, or because I live in the real world and am able to remove my rose tinted specs?

Nor do we question the value. In my opinion I just don't need to be reminded how the z doesn't stack up to these cars on a regular basis... I never said it did in the first place. Just tired of hearing the negative on a z enthusiast forum! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
