I have know clue what your talking about. The entire time before you started "chiming" in we were talking about "stock" car performance. You want to talk mod cars go right ahead. I could take alot of cars and mod them up to beat a 350Z stock, Z06 or any other car. I could take alot of cars and do it cheaper too. NO S#$% SHERLOCK! This is a brand new car, you think the aftermarket companies are going to produce a plethora of parts for a car thats not even out in full yet? They dont know if the car will be successful let alone if there will be a viable market share for the Z and consumer demand for the mods. Common sense tells you this. I dont know what point your trying to prove? Obviously, you have none and start spouting off how I dont read your half-brained logic.

Your comment about the Z06 and BMW etc was worthless. Why did you even say it? Are you trying to compare the Z? Are you just simply stating obvious stats? You lost me and everyone else in the forum. Pick a stance and stick to it. Dont start fiddling around backpedaling saying I dont read or comprehend your writing.

Your delusions of grandure and absolute misunderstanding of what a forum is really annoys me and I am sure everyone else who has to read it. If you want to continue this feel free to email me personally.
I think you have some valid points in what you say but you need to use complete thoughts in your reasoning. I cant read your mind. What you post is all "we" the forum collectively, have to ascertain what your trying to convey. In laymens terms, speak english senorita.
don't get mad because you didn't read my post, made some comments about it that were inaccurate and then I pointed it out. I even copied parts from my last posts so you would see the obvious parts.

The whole time i was sticking up for the Z.
Here is a quote from the original starting post:

I am really disappointed in the new 350Z. Why didn't they make it faster? Why does it look like just about every other new sporty car these days? (That is to say, why is it butt ughly?) The 300ZX was beautiful. So were the earlier 240SX's, before they turned boxy.

When I started looking for a replacement for the 240SX, my first inclination was to get a used 300ZX. But I wound up buying a new 2002 Camaro Z28 convertible - the last of the breed, as you probably know. I fell in love with the power! I had to spend about $1500 more on after-market stiffening and suspension parts to make it handle suitably, but even with those extra expenses, the convertible cost me less than a base model hardtop 350Z will cost. The car goes zoom, and it does it without a blower. Stock zero to 60 in a bit over 5 seconds. I put a 2800 stall torque converter on it and did some minor tweaking, and now my 0-60 is under 5 seconds. I love it!
So he is comparing the Z vs the fact he has a modified camaro.

is he not talking about a modified car? is not discussing a point made by the originator of the thread staying on topic and making a point. The point was a fast car can be made much easier and cheaper by not buying a new Z, but then you won't have a new Z. You won't have a new car, the nice interior, and other good things that car has going for it.

As far as reading my mind...i showed you quotes...you just didn't read my posts or didn't understand them....they were very clear.

Seriously, i think we were arguing some of the same points. i have no idea why you picked my post to post about. It is obvious you didn't read it very well the first time you posted.

As far as the Z06, M3, S2000 comparison. It was only to show that I personally prefer a car with a 50/50 weight distribution and was disappointed the 350Z didn't have that. I don't see what is so tough to understand about that. I almost bought a used 2001 Z06 for $35k...so that puts it right in the league with the 350Z track model. The S2000 is the same price if not a little cheaper then the track model. The older M3 are cheaper then all of these cars. How do none of these cars compare to the 350Z??? The only thing i said was weight distribution and the fact i was disppapointed in that...that's it.

i dont' really understand your problem with my posts, but I am not going to e-mail you about it. I think we have discussed it more then enough on here.
Erik (*still confused about what i said that was soo off the wall or obtuse??*)
