I'm very tempted by the New 370Z

Englebert · Nov 10, 2008

I'm not.

Christopher · Nov 10, 2008

I really don't like it, going off the pictures available in the press

Nice update though... drift scars: win.

Gally · Nov 10, 2008

not a fan of the 370.
backwards from the 350.

Remedi · Nov 10, 2008

That K20/24 turbo is nuts lol

Iridium · Nov 10, 2008

I wasn't aware it had off roader spec suspension... Maybe it's an option, as opposed to the only option...

It looks awful compared to the 350, especially those wheels which are just foul.

Tucker · Nov 10, 2008

Seconded here, seeing someone try and talk down to Matt about drag racing and more to the point, FWD drag racing is pretty funny.

Before trying to be all big, patronising and condesending it pays really to have a quick search so you have a clue who you're trying to mock...

Ian_182 · Nov 11, 2008

haha
I would never argue about racing a modded clio with the boy

WTF??? Speel off the facts??? I stated the bloody obvious. Any car running 9 seconds needs rediculous power and cash spent.
You said you liked the civics as a drag car- i said i would rather not have one and stated my reasons why- they need too much money spent to make them fast. I was making the point, saying if your serious about spending cash then that was fine but if you werent then there were better options! ie better platform racers.
This is a discussion forum where ideas and opinions are shared, Im not going to research everyones bloody history before i post a comment like some idiot stated.
none of you know my history but your all quick to jump this.
did anyone actually read my posts? what was said that was so offending? where did i **** the clio?
why would i mock the clio when i own one? Sometimes its hard to construe a message on these forums but i cant see what was so insulting about my opinion. sorry

Turkish · Nov 11, 2008

Any fear of some JDM goodness being posted and less of everyone bickering like a bunch of little kids?

Ian_182 · Nov 11, 2008

I concede

Too true

LOL

Posting that comment on the same page as MX-5's/Eunos Roadsters...

And boxy!?

Cough... Mercedes 190E Evo? E36 M3? E30 M3? Audi Sport Quattro?

Let's not forget that the Japanese mostly copy... wait for it... The Germans

Both threads are awesome IMO, but this is by far my favourite.
