I like Mustangs, not so much Harleys.;)

People whining about the performance (or lack of) of the Z car need to remind themselves what the Z was meant to be in the first place. It's sport, not muscle. Sure it outperformed Mustangs back in the 90s... because Ford's 5.0 and 4.6 were turds in stock trim, not because Nissan's V6 was so awesome. Now that the domestics have entered the 21st century (finally) the V8 is going to win every time against a naturally aspirated V6.

Also, I agree with whoever said that the rest of Nissan's lineup is lackluster. Aside from the 370 and the GTR they don't make anything I'd want.:shakes head:

Heck, not even aftermarket - they have tons of OEM / Dealer ordered parts.

The Juke is pretty cool, but otherwise Nissan is a pretty boring company. At least it's not as boring as Honda. I think the only reason Honda sells cars is they have decent build quality (like everyone else now) and a great reputation. At least in the states, where we don't get the Honda NSX or Civic R

What transmission r u trying to use that thing with? I mean it isnt impossible, but lets say it cost 25k to buy parts and make it custom fit ur self, for that $ u can drop titanium internals in the Z and boost it to ~1000hp if done ur self.

As in 2014 models. Neither are imported nor are Acura badged variants. Although rumor has it the new civic R may be coming in the next year or so.

note that both of the pictures are concept versions.

To me a sports car puts handling, weight, and feedback above power or top speed . I think sports cars are epitomized by the 240Z, Lotus Elan, MGB, S2000, older 911s, miata, FRS etc.
