I don't? I have more track days in the Z alone than you do in the GTI, and I am not even including days from other cars. I think it had 47K when I traded it in. As speed goes up, wear and tear item goes up also. It's just the law of physics. I don't think people are overheating their cars, they are overheating their oil (well some I think are just people panicing). Big difference there. Lastly, a stock car would not be able to handle 20 days without changing pads and brake fluids, it simply doesn't happen. Heck, even 20 minutes at max speed is pushing it, especially on a car with around 300HP. I think the water temp gauge on most new cars are dummy gauges, you are going to read 190 unless you absolutely overheat it. |

This is not a statement by a person who has spent any time on the track. Unless of course all you do is wheel to wheel racing in some high end spec series, and have forgotten what most people refer to as "track days." A large majority of people at the track are newbies, there for their first time, and they haul *** all day long without issue. Of course I roll with an Audi club, so our cars are perhaps predisposed to being hustled around in haste. To say a stock car won't last 5 laps without issue is just ignorant. But I'm sure you are a track god none the less. See ya at LimeRock.

It's confirmed at an MSRP of around 39,900 dollars.

also he said the state of florida does not look like will be getting any until september or october. he actually checked the port of miami nissan delivery for the next 3 months. he also checked the nissan inventory in USA and there were no nismo available. this was the week when nissan announced the release date and price. not sure if he was bs or what but sounds like is an accurate statement. |

Dealers routinely mark up the prices on cars they think will fetch a premium due to demand being higher than supply.

yea but you do have to wonder in this economy they are taking a big chance doing that. im getting my z in late july or august so hopefully the demand is not high so they lower prices.
