It's the value of purchase that really knocks me out. Looks like a fantastic car, and even more so for the money!

I was going to post about this as I just picked up the Jan '08 issue yesterday afternoon. Notice it says, "but seven years have passed since the 350Z was introduced". Which means it has indeed been seven years since the 350 was intro'd but didn't go on sale stateside til' '03.

Your welcome! That's awesome that you could read the print on the iphone, those things have some pretty sick screens.

I love this car.. but I wonder why the 0-60 is 5.1 seconds?? edmunds and r&t got it in 5.1 but Motortrend got it in 4.7 secs.. Oh well I am going to have to test it when it comes out by myself and time it.. hehe


EDIT: changed from 4.9 to 4.7 (thanks Endgame for pointing that out to me).
