RE: 350z
2. I cant believe the arguement is about power. It runs a 14 flat in the 1320, whoopty doo! The 350z isnt designed to blow anyones doors off, but take it to a windy road and I will bet you money your jaw will hit the floor. Ever wonder why its so expensive? Take a look at the suspension and how its engineered.

in the new one i think they upped the power a bit. but japenese cars are for windey roads, american cars are for straight line racing.

RE: 350z
either way i'd rather buy a 4 cylinder car and take the money i saved from buying the six or 8 cylinder and dump it into the motor and completely blow the 6 or 8 cylinder away.
You know how many people's jaws hit the bleachers when I was at Nopi Race Wars and a 4 cylinder civic hatchback beat a modded Viper V10! Yes both were complete drag cars BUT the Viper ran a 10.7 in the 1/4 which means it deff had motor work done but it is still a V10 and the 4 cylinder civic (yes turbo and nitrious, but still) ran a 9.2. The guy with the civic probably had about the retail valve of the stock viper into his civic but still blew the doors off a modded Viper. Thats nice. I'll take a 4 cylinder that can beat a 10 cylinder anyday. Then I can look at the Viper and say yup its just a civic.

RE: 350z
First of all, 500>450 the second thing is that the corvette is making 500HP ALL MOTOR the skyline however is making 450HP with a turbo. About reliability i doubt that one would drive his $70,000 corvette Z06 everyday to work and back, i wouldn't.
