hahhaa, the z running circles around the 911? for god's sake, i mean, there is a reason why prosche has its name on the track

LOL, I get people like this all the time at the shop.
I don't even try and get into a conversation with them, waste of time.

Nissan has always offered cars that kind of resemble other, more expensive cars. The Nissans are not bad at all but some similarities in design are striking

350Z=911
Xterra=Land Rover
Maxima=Lexus GS
Altima=Lexus GS/IS
Murano=X5
old 240SX=SC 300/400
Old Altima=J30

Is it just me?

if it's really the case i think they did a nutoriously bad job in making the z like the porsche. don't get me wrong, the z is a damn nice car in my book, but put it together with the 911? come on, give me a break. do you see me putting my gs4 together with the s500?

Its one thing to be confident and arrogant but you know your stuff. WHen you have both and don't even know what a GT2 is and don't know the HP ratings for your car, you simply got sold by the salesman.

I honestly do think the 350Z offers 8 or 9 tenths of the 911s fun at a fraction of the price. Under 30k, I think it's a steal new.
Though I would just search and buy a used 911. But that is just me.

The 350Z slowly won me over. It's a great lil car.

I think the comparison was with a Boxster. I still claim a Boxster S will out handle a 350Z Track at a track.

Cute, 20's, innocent. Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

As for the porche, depending on the year the 350 could very well smoke the 911. And unless you are a car person the various years of 911 can all look alike.

The GT2 she talked about is in England right? She 's a former owner of a miata. What does she drive now ?
