Nissan 370Z Forum  

Would this be a good alternative?

rx8's are even funnier.

The RX7 along with the Supra and NSX are iconic sports cars from Japan. The Z never hit the same status, that would be the GTR from Nissan. And the S2000 after the NSX is arguably the best sports car Honda has ever made.

RX8 is bogus.

The 300z was/is on the same level as the cars you mentioned... You forgot the Mitsu 3000GT

The reason why they are called iconic cuz they don't exist anymore. The Z is bigger in a sense as still lives the tradition of the famous iconic 240Z. A fun car Period.

The GTR is in another league of ball game. No comparison to the Z's legacy.

I would say the Supra and GTR are about on the same page. I cant think of a better car from Toyota than the Supra. Well the LFA from Lexus maybe.

It was fun and games reading your comments that previously weren't so knowledgeable, but after this one I am just going TO make myself try and understand that it was a joke.

What are you talking about? Nissan has always been an innovator that's why the 300zxtt was THE first 90's supercar followed by the 3000gt vr4, fd then supra. Nissan did it again with the gtr but this time they challenged porsche and the exotics

rx8 is a spirograph with a king cab

Nothing wrong with an S2000. Smaller engine than the 370Z but I don't think you will be disappointed with the acceleration. Great DD for those that like to do some spirited driving. For me, it would be a coin toss. I'd check out some of the S2K forums and look for expensive problems such as the CSC on the Z.

they are a hit or miss... you might get lucky. but based on your budget you're better off with a more sound car as far as reliability.

but a 10yr+ old car? things will break.
