dont worry im trying to get someone to take over the lease, if not Ill just lose my $3000 down and turn the car back in.

I have enough cash to probably just finance this time or get a used ride.

Im thinking Camaro SS with the 1LE package,5.0 or a used C5.

LOL! I'll bite. What laundry list of problems? Sounds like your just an uneducated person (when it come to cars at least) if your willing to spend all that kind of money just on the looks of a car.

do you realize you just proved my point AGAIN by posting this garbage as your response??? Who's everybody?

The scion is a 4 banger that takes 16 seconds to finish a quafrter mile. it can barely beat a Civic. If you owned an FR-S you'd be complaining you just spent $30k on a car as slow as $23,000 a Civic

I don't know how you haven't been banned from the forum, leasee.

No no, I'm curious to hear the complaints. I bet one of them is the horrible shifter right? I was just driving my Z yesterday shifting with one finger, switching each gear so effortlessly and started laughing at all the complains I have hears on this forum.

If you hate the car so much why do you even waste your time posting? Just put your tail between your legs and leave already.

Past post from you.

Why are reviewers so hard on the z?

"Why would they find things to complain about or exaggerate over... These are serious issues with the z in my opinion. 2012 oil cooler is a joke. I have 3100 miles on a 2012 z and just a 50 mile trip on a hot summer day is bringing temps to 230-240 casual driving.. Basically no way is this going to be a car you push without at least 1500-2000 in mods. Already paying 35-40k for the car. It's a niche car, not a smart buy for most people.

I love the car though don't get me wrong, looks are very very important and not many can top the 370z looks."

I love the car though don't get me wrong, looks are very very important and not many can top the 370z looks.

You admit to overlooking performance for looks in early posts.
You had knowledge of the Z needing $2,000 in mods.
And you admitted looks were your main reason for purchase. STFU now.

So much time sucking ford c0ck. look at this one. lol

The 370z confuses me...

It just proves your opinions change from the influence of others.

Yet he describes what he wants from the Z is identical to a BRZ. lol

Z Fanboys or just Z enthusiast defending the car against someone who has no idea what they are talking about? Seeing that you where complaining about 230-240 degree oil temps further proves your lack of knowledge of cars.

Fanboys are guys who can only love and own one sports car. You're barking up the wrong tree.

Guys like you call guys like us fanboys as a defense to your ignorance. lack of knowledge, understanding and your need to sound like you know what you're talking about when you don't.

You talk about Ford like a fanboy lately. All those 5.0's in your neighborhood bullying you on the roads are making you want one so bad.

Should i post evidence of that too??? You just want something that has a fighting xhance of beating a mustang 5.0 or a mustang you can cheaply mod to beat another 5.0. You've been stang raped and it hurts. You're confused and you don't know where to turn. And the cost of FI for the Z makes you angry and you realized, damn, to seriously mod. I cant be in a lease... Sad

Not quite. It's just the constant misinformation and hyperbole has gotten old. You're the pebble in the forum's collective shoe.

Stang raped that's funny. If I wanted the fastest car on the block I would of thrown an LS motor in my rx7, hell I could of swapped a 2jz in my s2000. I never claimed to be a car guru, I got excited over the looks of the 370z and messed up getting into one. I'm honestly sorry about all the complaining. I will leave

I come from an FD. So if you thought the Z was the second coming of an FD? Not gonna happen. The FD was one of the best cars ever made. in the handling department...

The FD was plagued with cooling, oil consumption and reliability issues that make the Z look very reliable though.

But the z is the perfect compromise between precision and muscle.

It's just you got caught up with the wrong crowd and you just really don't understand what Nissan was trying to do with this car.

The complaints are valid.

oil cooling weak, slightly too front heavy, Can still use to shed a minumum of 200 extra lbs. and VVEL is on the course side.

But these are just things that have been overstated by most. And honestly most people who trade for a different car quickly made the same mistake you did. They thought the Z was something it's not.

And the 350z used to either tie or beat the 4.6 mustang v8. That was one of the biggest selling points for the Z33. Now that the Z34 was eclipsed by the 2011 5.0. That selling point is no longer their and everyone is running back to mustang, even though the Z34 is wayyyyy better than the Z33.

So in the end. I don't buy into some people saying they buy for the driving experience when there actions prove different.

If people drove for the driving experience... What would be cooler than a precision muscle car? The japanese mustang. So much slower, but so much more fun on the street, with more feedback to boot.

I don't care what you like, drive or whatever. Just be objective. All your complaining is completely one sided.


HONESTLY, YOU BEEN CONTRACTING YOURSELF OVER AND OVER AGAIN
