From what I've read the Akebono's perform better than the Brembo's on the 350.


I'm not in the Z for anything sensational. I feel it's a bargain good handling car with enough power for fun when buying used. Bought mine for $15k at 5 yrs old with 72k on the clock and enjoy it immensely. Not to mention they're rarely seen in my area, hell even when I travel hours from home. Went to an IMSA race at Sebring yesterday and didn't see one!! I prefer not having the same vehicle as everyone else.

Bragging rights are that you can beat every 'normal' coupe/sedan/truck on the road. You can also beat most 4 cylinder turbo vehicles (Beat my buddy's manual Focus ST no problem). Nowadays there are some random cars/trucks that can beat our car, but most of those are high trim level - 50-60,000 dollar vehicles. Versus modern V8 cars, we will get smoked in a straight line. That said, it seems like a lot of people are replying to this suggesting we have a totally average/boring/old sports car. It is still a really high performing vehicle compared to your average car on the road, and has a lot of style aesthetically. It is a cool car, just not 'modern' (Could be considered a good thing - I don't need a switch for 5 different exhaust notes, light-up cup holders, or some crazy infotainment system like modern sports cars have, who cares.)
