Back to the paint and how the cars looked .......... I forgot to mention this.

I noticed at the Detroit Show that some of the cars were being periodically detailed. Hondas as well as the German cars were being misted with Meguiar's Final Inspection and the wiped off. This kept the cars very shinny and removed finger prints.

actually the Z will be offered in a Convertible version approx 6months after the coupe launch
so if you can wait you can get that rather than a s2000
but i hardly think it will handle good 3200lb(coupe) then add more weight for the convertible

i havent seen it in person but it looks like a stretched out TT with a hint of 911 in pictures

the dimensions are almost exactly identical in height,width,and length of the Boxster S (Z's competition) to give you an idea of the size

Everything I have read is that Nissan is rating the hp at 260-280. Amazingly, Sport Compact Car had a good article about the prototype they drove. More amazingly, they couldn't stand it. They said it felt sluggish in acceleration and handling. They did like the interior and the exterior, which I agree with them on.

This car will be slow and will not be any real threat to an S2000 at the track. Nissan really has to get their heads out of their a$$ess and get us some real cars. The S2000, Prelude and ITR are no gimmick, workhorse, everyday cars that are more fun to drive than they are to look at. For now, all we have to do is look at Nissans to know that we are seeing the better side.

Maxima-what happened to the 4DSC it was?
Sentra SE-R Spec V-stupid name and where is the performance we were promised?
350Z-pretty to look at, but that's about it.
GT-R-yeah, and we'll see the Lancer EVO with 276hp too? I hope I'm wrong on this one.

Just some thoughts,
Brian.

And of course the JDM GTR blows away all 3 Hondas that you mentioned ! So what's your point ????
I know bring on the NSX !

Check this thread out ............ it also includes the TT, S2000, and RX8. The front end of that car ( RX8) looks like a big sucker fish ! See the picture in that thread.

OMG it's so ugly !

Defn no S2000 in the new Z. TT? Perhaps. I'd be more inclined to say it resembles the Chrysler Crossfire a little bit. Anyone else?
