This car (350Z) exudes performance, more performance than a contour owner could ever imagine, and you complain about the taillights? The taillights on the contour are nothing to write home about.

lol what kinda sh*t is this? 0-60 in 5.5 seconds doesnt exude a damn thing. we'll see what it can do when the turbo arrives... Like Andy mentioned, as attractive as the car is, I will always be dissapointed with it's numbers in current form.

THANK YOU!

It needs a Turbo or something!

I can imagine a great deal..
Nice car, nice price, styling....well, styling is not Nissan's strong suit.

Disappointed? Why? 285 horses for 27 large is not that bad of a value. What do you get in a BMW 330ci? 225 horses for like 35 large. I will let you do the math. How much money would you have to put into a SVT Contour to get the power that the Z has? Probably would come close to the price of a Z. I think (know) I would rather have the Z. But then again, that is my humble opinion The contour is dead, time to move along now.

i don't understand how that could not be fast enough for a fully-optioned, HIGH STICKER PRICE of $33,000.

not to mention that every car rag has been jizzing all over this car since their first test drives. even SCC commented on the high level of detail Nissan put into the UNDERSIDE of the car, like wind-shields for the exhaust system and an over-engineering from suspension. if details like that don't tell you that this car means business, then there's just no way of satisfying you! (maybe that means you are a true "do-it-yourselfer"?)

I love this car!!! VERY NICE!! This shing puts down healthy 240 hp at the wheels!! And since stillen has superchargers for maxima, and this is the same engine.. THATS RIGHT !!

That same issue of SCC also says that the performance of this Z is on par (actually a hair faster i think) than the last 300 Z TT. I wouldn't say that's all too bad, especially when you know the likes of Stillen are going to have some wicked stuff out to juice it up probably within the year.

Very sweet man congrats on the new Car.
