My guess it was a troll who has secret thing for the Z and he just can't tell his fellow MS3 buddies he's cheating on them LOL!!!

Either way IDC because I'm buying a Z33 to replace my Z32 that got destroyed by a hail storm.

Here are some before and after pictures of the short time I had it before it got destroyed in a hail storm.
Hmm, so it's just a coincidence?

your flagship car costs 4x as much as ours the ms3 can be faster then a gtr with 5k in mods. GTR is sick though and is my fav car. The nismo looks sick if your into big spoilers and cars that scream my dick is small. Once again both cars are good cars. Were ONLY trolling cause some idiot said ms3's can never beat a 300whp 350z.

Again it comes down to money, and if that's the case you can turn a base GTR into a AMS Alpha 12 GTR in which case a MS3 would never get close to.

If you throw intake/exhaust/header in your ***** downpipe in ours and a tune. Ms3 is faster. Thats apples to apples. If you dont know watch my video 350z hr needed nos to keep up...once again this goes back to us setting up a race but you all are bitches with a bunch of dyno queens and dont want to run just want to talk.

Apparently when MS3'ers mod their econobox, most of them blow their engines. Wonder why?

Lol, keep trying to justify your MS3 purchase to a completely different platform.

Forget about SKY Redlines or Miatas, too. My height limited my car choice. The Z actually sits REALLY low when you're inside. My wife is pretty short and can't stand it, but it's perfect for tall guys like me.

Those were the dark days. When tuning hadn't yet unlocked the ability to completely tune our cars.

Another thing we suffer from is waaay too much torque down low.

But there are a few with 450whp stock block and head and a couple 500whp stock block and head.

You know what also is a sleeper? A turbo tercel.
http://jalopnik.com/for-5-000-this-i...rcel-455796360

The thing is I'm not gonna go spend my money for a an understeering sh1tbox just to go fast in a straight line. I spent 16k for my car plus another 10k for a Vortech.

I could've went out and bought a little hatchback civic for 3k and spent over 20k in mods and destroyed everything in a straight line. I didn't want a sh1tbox drag machine. I wanted something that looked good, handled well, and is fast. The only thing the MS3 sh1tbox does is go fast. Only Mazda that's worth anything is RX-7.

I'm glad you have decided against the S2000, not that its a bad car, but a lot of people consider it to be a hairdressers car, the connotations of that are fairly obvious, not that that is a bad thing but i reckon the Zed has a lot more of a masculine image (i could be digging myself a hole here with the female contingent). I'm also happy that your second test drive was of a car that hadn't been thraped to within of its life and had been well looked after. Good luck with your hunting now you know what to look for.

Hahaha, that thing sounds like it has insane lag, all for 250whp. Sleeper, yes. Fast? eh...

Look at all the children arguing about their self worth based on the car they bought.

Time to move up to something stock boys and full-time students can't afford again.

This happens about 8 years after I buy any nice car...

Driven, but not owned.

I've found some Ariel Atoms for sale for $50k's. I'm thinking about buying one of those for a fun car and just getting some econobox beater for a DD. Maybe a Mazda or something. I hear they're pretty fun.

I don't know. I think the S2000 is pretty sexy for what it is. I always thought of it as the male alternative to the Miata.
