Post Sup?

Hi, I'm tifosiotaku, and I'm a car geek.

I currently own a 2001 Honda Civic sedan, and I decided that my next car would be a sports car. To be honest, I wanted a Chevrolet Camaro, but when GM announced today that they may not survive 2009, I decided to put my dreams on permanent hold and look around a bit... and I came to the Z. My mom owns a 350Z Roadster and loves it to death... and every time I ride shotgun or take it for a spin, I understand why. If nothing else, it has the best exhaust note I ever heard from a V6.

All in all, if the 370Z loses some weight when compared to the 350Z, and can do the 0-60 sprint in less than 5 seconds, I think I may have my next car.

In the meantime, visit my blog, and say hi to the new guy!

Hi, welcome to the370z.com. Very unique name you got there. If you don't mind, is that your real name?

Life is too short. You gotta enjoy it while you can. Try to get into sports car hobby before you marry or have kids. Once you do, you are only allowed to buy minivans and 4 door sedans.

The new Camaro V6 price is really great. But the GM struggling financially kinda scaring people.

The new 370Z is going to be a beast. Nissan is challenging Porsche with this new Z and you know they aren't messing around. After crushing the whole performance car competition with the Nissan GTR, you know Nissan is onto something with this Z.

Very nice blog. Enjoy your stay here and start saving some money for the 370Z down payment

My real name is Alex. My user name is a blend of tifosi- the stereotypical Scuderia Ferrari geek- and otaku- a stereotypical Japanese culture geek.

And yeah, I do hope the 370Z is a beast. At 3200 pounds or less and a 350 HP engine, all it would need is an exhaust/intake/ECU tune package and the Boxster owners would get nervous.

The new Z is gonna be a very nice car. We are hearing that it'll have 338 HP and 270 ft/lbs of tq. Even though the weight was speculated to be 3134 lbs but recent document shows that it's somewhere between 3240 to 3260 lbs .. Not too bad. I think it'll still give Porsche a run for it's money.

Yeah, that'll work. It may be down about 90 HP to a Camaro SS, but it's still 600 pounds lighter than said Camaro, and it could make up that horsepower deficit with a supercharger or the like...

I don't get the new Camaro situation. What really happen? Did GM engineers didn't realize that it's NOT 1969 anymore?? How much does the new camaro weigh?

For a car with such a nice exterior design, it's a shame how heavy they made the car. Sports cars should be less than 3400 lbs.

I think the V6 models weigh like 3700 pounds, and the SS model weighs 3850 pounds. Still, the SS is 200-300 pounds lighter than the Dodge Challenger R/T and SRT-8 models...
