I haven't seen one 'driving' around yet. Just at the dealership. But I imagine there would be a lot more new and rare cars in California than Calgary :)

Yet you drive a 528i ;)

What part of California do you live in?

I go down about once a year for a conference (E3) held at the Los Angeles Convention Center, but our main offices are in Irvine.

Just imagine if they would bring the Supra back!

That would be amazing. It would be:

Lancer EVO VIII vs. WRX STi vs. 350Z vs. RX-8 vs. Supra

It would be interesting as far as sale figures go as well as performance.

MMM RX8. Now that is a car I can see myself driving.

RX-8 looks real nice. It even has those doors that open the opposite direction (I dont know what they are called). Plus it's a 4 seater unlike the 350Z.

The back reminds me a lot of the older RX-7 models, looks real clean though, can't wait until they are released.

Concept CRX and Concept Supra? Any pictures? :) I heard rumors of Supra but I thought they were all talk.

My friend referred to them as Suicide doors as well and I thought he was just trying to be funny. I wasn't sure what the heck he was talking about, but I guess that is the correct term for them! :)

i wasn't looking at the porn area in the mag...i was just looking at its car show coverage..... :rofl: :rofl:


it was like "woah look at her headlights" then "wow look at the headlights on the supra"

Suicide doors got their name from back in the day when people would jump out of their cars when they're moving and get struck by them. Thats what I heard anyways, seems plausable at least.

We raced a 350Z last night. They're not too quick.

The explanation I heard was that they had a tendency to open up in a crash, and with the wonderous restraint technology in cars of the era (if they had seatbelts at all they were lap belts only) there was a very high rate of people being ejected from the cars and killed in relatively minor accidents.

Same here but then I saw this recently... the RX7 shown seems to just be a derivative of the RX8 but the Supra is "new" and damn fugly if you ask me... :p

Oh and there's a few more possible Supra concept pics here...

Supra doesnt look too bad (The orange concept one).

The first RX-8 (RX-7 in the pic) in blue reminds me of a Corvette. Not sure why ;)

That 2004 concept looks awesome though! :drool:

Zephyr
09-01-2002, 11:15 AM
the concept one i saw in the chinese porn mag was like a weird looking car, it said it was to be a futeristic supra later on, and it looked more like a track car, then a street car....then again i was too busy looking at the model standing next to it so yea...

I saw a white 350Z. I love them. That'd probably by my choice of car for the money.287hp at 6200rpm. 274lb-ft at 4800rpm. 14.0sec 1/4mile at 99.2mph. LSD, .88g lateral grip, and 113ft 60-0.

The 350Z would probably get spanked by both the TC and the GTP.

Seriously? WAs it one of your buddies who has one? Cause on paper these cars are suppose to be fairly quick. That sucks if they would lose to the GTP and TC.(not to take anything away from these cars):thumbsdow

Well I don't think the 350Z is really on par with those cars but losing to GTP or TC would be another story.

Hows the ScM3Cab? Must be pretty dam fast:burnout:

Since I've never seen a TC or GTP in action during my lifetime, I guess it would be fast!

But its just a civic and the GTP, no comment haha

The first shipment of over 800 350Zs arrived at the port of Los Angeles on August 10. They're all sold. Over 6,000 of the cars were pre-ordered before the first production Z even left the factory in Oppoma, Japan. Clearing that backlog will take about 3 months

See nissan? that wasn't so hard now was it :D give the people what they want at a reasonable price and they'll buy it :thumbsup:
