Wheels on Z sold in Vietnam
 

The Zs sold in vietnam have different wheels than in the US. I think they look sportier than the US version.

My friend said the title of the site says, "First 370z arrives in Vietnam"

Those are Volks GT30's and those are definitely not OEM...lol

Wish the US 370z come OEM with them lol

Those are pics of an American Z (even the floor mat covers are in English) with aftermarket Volks wheels.

I note a great irony here. This is not a political website so I'm not making a political comment. I'm just noting the irony of all those young men on both sides of the war in Vietnam, who fought and died over an effort to impose the glories of Marxism on South Vietnam. They essentially won that war and now the Vietnamese people are living like all of us decedent capitalists, buying iPods and zooming around in Z's. Old "Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh" must be turning over in his grave. This is just an amazing thing to think about---and a nice looking car too. My apology if my post has violated a rule or the etiquette of this board. Just couldn't pass it up without noting it.

That is called the Cycle of Life, look at Japan and Germany producing some of the best cars in the world now. Japan is number one in technology in the world, so every country will have their turn around for the good of the people. :twocents:

I don't think many people will be able to afford the Z over there. Also, if they could afford it there wouldn't be much road to use it on.

Have you been to vietnam? I have.

people pay cash for cars over there. Cars cost 3-4 times over there than here. A Z costs about $110,000 USD. that's right, not a typo, and people pay cash for it.

I see more Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Rolls Royces, and Mercedes than i see in the US. The rich is filthy rich. The poor earns $2 / day.

Me too :tup:

As I said, so much for the glorious "Peoples' Crusade" that brought a Marxist Utopia to Vietnam. The more I see of history as it's made, the more I just shake my head in bewilderment. I'm just going to enjoy my Z and quit trying to understand...

At first I was like. :tup:
Now I'm just like :gtfo2:

Funny thread.

That's because the rich are either communist or corrupt or both. This is a country where the government takes what it wants from its citizens and there's not a damn thing they can do about it.

But to stay on topic, it's worthless to have a car over there. It's just to show off. There's too much traffic in large cities and outside of that, the streets are horrible. How do I know? I'm Vietnamese.

ROFL close this thread immediately.

Vietnam
 

Guys,

As a Vietnam Veteran (67-68) it's time to let it go.................! Its been over 35 years since the war. 35 years after WWII was 1980 and we had been buying Z's for 10 years by that time and those were the guys that gave us "December 7th 1941"............................

:shakes head: :shakes head:

From different set of wheels to the history of Vietnam...

I don't know about you but I know a lot of Vietnam Veterans who will never let it go. But back to topic. Go Z !

I'm the original poster, let's stay relevant to the topic. I'm not here for a history lesson. Thank you to those who served Nam. You have my respect. But let's talk about wheels, darn it. :eek:

:rofl2:
Yes, about those wheels and that Z. I'm going out on a limb and saying that the Z was stolen and shipped there. I cannot believe that a Z would ever be bought or sold there since that car couldn't survive the monsoons or potholes or substandard fuel at the stations. Just a guess....

Soldiers do what they Commanders tell them to do, leave the political side to the politics.

As a soldier we cannot hold a groch against others that was following order too!

The scars of War last for ever and is difficult to forget, but comments like yours make it harder to heel. :shakes head: :shakes head:

It's hard to believe those wheels came stock! I think it was a special order that the dealer added for a customer

No it's not. believe it or not, OEM wheels on most cars sold in vietnam look different from the US.

if so I wonder why? :confused:

Sometimes they have family members here buy the car and ship it back there to be sold at 3 or 4 times the amount because people over there will pay for it. Like i said it's more about showing off than anything. You can't really drive over there with all the traffic and bad roads. So I'm thinking someone bought it here put some rims on it and sent it back there to be sold. Again I'm just guessing.

Believe of not a lot of Westeners live in third world countries. Living large and can afford to buy the car at that price.

So people are trying to forget the war when they all get together every year for the formation of the QLVNCH and the loss of the country? I don't think so.

I'm done here.

Your comment and your spelling :thumbsdown:

Sorry I spoke out.
 

OUCH..............! BTW what is OLVNCH?? Never heard of it.

Note: to the OP, Sorry I spoke out.

Now back to your regular programing.

Sorry that I don't have a PhD in English. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

You don't need a PhD for elementary words. :gtfo2:

^^ OMG i hope none of them drive a Z.
