Some of you should get a kick out of this.

2015 Nissan 370Z Roadster: The Jalopnik Review

Sounds like their main gripe was the price. For $50k+, there's a lot of other stuff out there.

Limeybastard · 09-22-2014, 12:35 PM

Maybe thats why in most other countries the Z roadster is no longer available.

When was the last time you thought about a Nissan 370Z? ... It's a little, over-powered, rear-wheel drive monster...

Over-powered?

And since when are Camaros and Mustangs "sports cars"?

These are the guys who recommend a Miata for everything, so yes, it's very overpowered.

What else would they be classified as?

Pony cars/muscle cars, but then we're arguing semantics.

There are also some that say the Z isn't a sports car because it weighs over 3000 LBS.

Chuck33079 · 09-22-2014, 06:02 PM

Or that a GTR isn't because it has a back seat.

I would have to agree. For 50K you can get a used GTR, and thats a boarderline supercar.

Chuck33079 · 09-22-2014, 06:15 PM

I'd sooner have the Z vert than the GTR. It looks better and you don't have to mortgage a kidney to afford parts. Plus, you're not stuck with an automatic.

My 50k goes to a C7 if we have to buy new. Assuming of course, GM gets back to selling them.

Super Werty · 09-22-2014, 07:07 PM

It's not for everyone thats for sure. I got a great deal on mine so it was worth it to me. If it had been $52K there is no way I would have bought one

Got_Z · 09-22-2014, 07:18 PM

But I love my Z

b15 · 09-22-2014, 09:26 PM

It's preference. You can always buy xx car used for the same as yy car new.

6years in and I still think the Z is dead sexy. With spacers and swifts, it think it looks perfect. It's definitely the looker compared to the GTR but obviously there's no comparison for performance.

I looked at Corvettes. The problem is, comparatively equipped, the Vette is mid $60k.
