ventured over to "car comparisons" part of af

and i couldn't believe what i saw. the three threads that involved the 300zx, all they did was bash it. they said it was unreliable, not much of a sports car. i just couldn't believe it.

yeah everyone says the 300zx isnt reliable and it isnt all what it is cracked up to be. f*** em' all. i find them very reliable until they get on the wrong persons hands. some f***s like the people that talk shit about them. oh well...some people deserve their ass whooped and some have some sense.

Thats not you is it Zgringo?

Frankly I could care less what people want to think of my car. They want to race I'll be able to hand them their ass so any point worth proving is in the bag. Besides, most people that rag on Z32s are like this dick at work. He thinks hes going to drop a T67 turbo into an otherwise stock Eclipse GSX and make 700hp. I asked him how much a set of forged pistons for a 4G motor costs, he was one brain cell away from asking why he would need them. I just laughed and he looked confused, mostly because I think his mother drank when she was pregnant with him. Not just booze either, must have been like paint thinner or used 10W30 or something.

No thats not me. I have to use both hands on mine. It's something you don't want to be doing while someone is taking your picture. When someone asks how fast my car is I tell them alittle faster than a VW but not as fast as a Bugatti. They just kinda look at me with this strange look, and that ends the subject.

k3smostwanted · 10-19-2004, 02:18 AM

its funny to read those comparisons and people just down play the z. some guy said that the Z has to lose weight to be faster. another guy said that the mr2 was more of a sports car because it had a MR layout and it had less HP and less engine. WTF is that?? let me guess...a civic is more of a sports car than a corvette because it has less of an engine and it creates less power. lol.

i like how people talk about cars that they have never even sat in, in real life. they like to just talk about, i think this car is better because it is lacking the HP that this car has. must be better since the engine is in the back...

Zgringo · 10-19-2004, 01:37 PM

I know what you mean. I owned a Porsche 911 turbo and this friend of mine owed me some money and couldn't pay me and asked me if I'd take his car instead. Well I didn't want another sports car, but I didn't want to lose my money so I took his Zed32TT, cost $2,000. I drove it and sold my Porsche, and now own a yard full of Zed's

The 3000GT and 300ZX (Z32) were way ahead of their times with gadgets and power galore (with a hefty price back in those days)... they did not do as well on this side of the pond as they did in Japan and quickly found death in the god ol' USA. People (stupid) tend to think that since they axed so quickly during the 90's that they are suck ass cars...! The mind of an idiot is quite intriguing! And so many great cars saw there demise... the Mazda 323 GTX, Integra Type R, Celica All-Trac, Toyota MR-2/S, S-Chassis 240sx (to a lesser extent), 3000GT, 300ZX, etc.... were they bad cars? No... People are just fucking idiots and tend to jump the bandwagon when it comes to cars... no matter how sophisticated the cars were people tend to want to stick with their Taurus', El Dorado, Mustang GT, Escort GT, and Honda (all cars which are really probelmatic and very unsophisticated!)... if their is no market for sophisticated cars... why should they sell? Why should they be great? FUCK YOU ASSHOLES!

longlivetheZ · 10-19-2004, 05:28 PM

This is the exact reason I try to stay out of the other forums. I go in the Mustang forum...bit of research from time to time...you know..."know your enemy" kinda deal...and I just get into fights. I remember J_Greene from that forum, in fact. Him and another guy or two thought they were having fun playing King Big Swinging Dick so I left. I remember Delerious and Stealth and I think Freak even went over there and said how I owned that conversation...did it matter? No. Of course not. I was out numbered. I don't even remember the topic now. I think it was Turbo vs. Supercharger...I ALWAYS get into it with people about that. The really weird thing is that I don't even go over there to start fights or cause trouble. I'll argue, sure, but I'm not a dick...some of the people in the other forums are just ass holes...so I pretty much just stay to my nice cozy home that is the PZC forum.

Anyway...next time you see some bullshit like that goin on, let us know! We've got your back! Well...I do, at least...PM me!

freakonaleash1187 · 10-19-2004, 06:58 PM

yeah, i noticed a few people go over the the thread between the mr-2 and celica after i made this thread, thanks k3 and broke. yeah, i mostly stay in PZC, but every once in a while i go see how it is in other parts of af.

no problem, im still arguing with those guys. i still cant believe soem idiot said that the mr2 is more of a sports car because the engine is in the rear. so a corvette and viper are freaking grocery getters?!?!? WTF

kman10587 · 10-19-2004, 10:54 PM

Fuck you all. If you wanna call me a fucking idiot, grow some balls and do it in the Car Comparison thread, instead of running away to your own little forum. And I took back what I said about the MR2 being more of a sports car because it's MR. It's more of a sports car because it's a smaller, lighter car. Simple as that. Look at any of the original British sports cars from the 1950's. You don't see any V6 engines, or anything with a curb weight higher than your standard grocery getter sedan. My mom's 1990 Maxima weighed about 3000 pounds, and a 1990 300ZX N/A weighs over 3200 pounds. That's just ridiculous.

I'm sick of you people and your dogmatic "Z owns everything" bullshit. I'm not checking this thread again, so flame away.

i am pm'ing kman.

honestly dude you need to calm down a bit. im sorry for calling you in idiot, that was unnecessary on my part. i just found that comment was very bias, ridiculous, and ignorant. all as i was stating is that i cant believe someone would say that a car with mid-engine, less HP, less displacement, and is lighter makes it more of a sports car. i know you took it back and i respect you for that but i was just saying that i cant believe you had said that. my bad for the name calling. very unnecessary and disrespectful. my intention was not to come back to "my" forum and disrespect you.

kman10587 · 10-20-2004, 01:04 AM

It's no problem, I went for a drive in the pouring rain (scared myself shitless) and calmed down, my bad for coming to your forum and going nuts on you guys. I don't think saying that MR >> FR is really an appalling statement; it may be a crappy opinion, but I dunno why you guys took so much offense to it. Anyways, yeah, I made my case why the MR2 is a more true sports car...whether you agree or disagree is up to you.
