Thanks...

Funny thing is the 370Z cars get MPG and they are about as fast..:eek::icon14:

Then you mod them, and they are as fast or faster with MPG...:icon14::eek::eek:

Technology has come a long way..:tup::tup::tiphat:

I am glad I have both cars ..

Yes I do, and the Old Z has all the parts needed for additional HP's..

I did all the other work first...Handling, Brakes, ect.. i hate people who just dump money into power on these old cars..And then leave 40 year old handling and brakes...

But i will need more horsepower to play with the new cars, but in good time, and more money..

For what I spent in modifications , 30K, I could have the fastest Z/28 around... but then It would not corner, or stop, and it would have been useless on the track..

So I did it right, but I need more cash..My Builder does LS/6 speed swaps, so we will see...

Funny how it sounds faster than the Z Car, but it isn't...

Why don't you get a Fisker. It's electric and three times the price of the Z. When you buy a sports car, don't even think or bring up MPG's unless your car is one type of sport hybrid or electric motor like a Tesla. If your worried about MPG's a sports car is not the way to go. Anyways MPG's are based on driving style, you can pull 30MPG's in the Z strictly highway driving.
When you buy a sports car, you don't really brag about your MPG's.

Amen....I bought the 2009 370Z about 3 months ago.I never even asked about the MPG...Never even crossed my mind...:tiphat:

^I was the same way when I got mine a month ago. Co workers and friends asked my mpg and I said 'I have no clue. I didn't buy it for fuel efficiency.'

Congrats...And Amen...If we wanted MPG's , we would have bought something different.

Maybe not a Prius, but a Honda Fit, ect...But we obviously wanted performance, and of course killer looks and handling...:tiphat:

gas mileage isn't all its cracked up to be. I tried to be economical with a 40mpg Honda CRZ and managed to do it for a year and a half for my DD, but in the end, it couldn't get out of its way and I traded it on a Mustang GT.

As for the Z vs. the Boxster, even at 2/3rds the gas mileage, you would never make up the price difference between the two. The extra 30 grand for a well equipped one buys a boatload of gas.

Mileage
 
means zero. we bought a sports car:gtfo2:

shika805 06-21-2012 09:50 PM

And it gets 30 mpg, while my 2011 Base+Sport is getting about 20 mpg. I'm bummed. I didn't buy the car for its fuel economy, but really!

What do you think about the 370Z'z mileage?


Where u getting your info from???

How u figure the boxster is more capable? The CAYMAN S is our competitor. The Z and cayman run neck and neck in performance. The cayman wins in only 2 areas. Top Speed and Refinement in its performance. Another equation I didn't add was materials. At double the price. I'm good with the less refined Z.

Lastly if mpg's are an issue? Why you bought a sports car? Hmmmm?
