Pass the pipe, bro... Because a 350Z is definitely freeway worthy. The damn thing pulls on me 125mph+. No arguing. Every single time the Z (Track M/T) would begin pulling on me as I shifted into 5th gear.

As for Nissan and reliability issues... You're funny. My family has a long history with Nissan, and the only Nissan we've had troubles with is our van, but that's because it is seriously modded. I'd like to think that's the reason your G20 wasn't running too great - the damn SR/DET. Duh. What did you expect?

'72 Datsun 240Z*
'74 Datsun 260Z
'79 Datsun 280Z
'82 Datsun 280ZX Turbo
'93 Quest GXE*
'94 300ZX Twin Turbo
'95 Maxima 5M/T
'97 Maxima
'00 Maxima SE*
'02 Q45 Sport*
'03 G35 Sport*

*we still have these cars


Those cars are DAMN reliable. Either you abuse your car, or you don't maintain it...

Funny thing is I have heard a couple of snide comments about Nissan reliablity. My 93 300ZXTT had over 70K miles on it, o.g. turbos and ran great. Nissan also makes the most reliable, mod friendly "bullet proof" engines built for road cars and they put it in a little car called GT-R. You know, the one with a few thousand dollars will be eating just about ANYTHING on the road. As for the car not being freeway worthy, whatever man.

What is your point? Is there some kind of insecurity with you and your car? I'm not a big fan of the Z's styling myself, but it's still a nice car at a great starting price. The fact that it is equal with our car in almost all the performance categories (stock) is impressive. And your argument that the Z is not a sportscar just because it has an option for an automagic is retarded. Porsche offers an automatic tranny on their 911 Turbo, does that mean it's no longer a sportscar?

Drive one before you talk smack. It is a drivers race between the Z and the S.

You're an idiot.

I guess the Corvette isn't a sports car.

By his reasoning, neither is the Enzo.
