Cruising along Deerfoot today coming back from traffic court out in Cochrane haha I spotted an orange 350z. As maxboost would say "OH EM GEE"! haha that car looks sooo nice in that color. The car looks damn nice in any color I guess, but wow seeing that orange 350z cruising down deerfoot was nice. Older gentleman driving it... sweet car, I want! :)

That is all.

Are you high dude? Since when did you look at Imports?:rofl:

You thinking about selling your car and buying a White Track Pack 350Z and slapping on a supercharger?:D

The 350s are rad looking cars and have the performance to back up the looks, Nissan really hit teh mark with that car...I love the orange , theres also a blue that looks killer, the track pack is the only way to go, I hate the factory wheels on the normal model

When I was in Vancouver a couple of months ago, I saw the Daytona Blue 350Z and it looked gorgeous - the car kinda reminds me of a porsche 911 when i see it from the side.

Tried to work something out with the crown prosecutor prior to the trial but no go, she wouldn't budge so I had to goto trial. When no deal could be made with the crown, a little negotiating attempt was made with the officer that wrote the ticket, but that was even worse he was upset I was fighting the ticket because he had given me a 5km/h break on the ticket. Bastard! Out of a packed court room I was the only one that had a real trial that was longer than 30 seconds.

After 45 minutes of non stop questions for the cop that wrote the ticket questioning his radar training, the judge couldn't decide right away so she has decided to reserve judgement until December 11th or something.

Sigh. Damn RCMP officers! damn them all!

Kenny, sorry to hear about the ticket! :eek:

infamous
11-15-2002, 02:57 PM
highly unlikely....

wrx:
Horsepower 227 @ 6000 rpm
Torque (lb.-ft.) 217 @ 4000 rpm

350z:

287 hp @ 6,200 rpm
274 lb-ft @ 4,800 rpm

no contest imo :dunno:

ya and actualy hp and torque means nothing once you throw in the weight and stuff..

wrx 0-60 5.7sec 1/4 mile 14.4
350z 0-60 5.6sec 1/4 mile 14.3 I think and the track pack version is faster too if im not mistaken.. so as you can see.. numbers are really close.. =] and how much you have to spend to put out those numbers for a 350z? 45k? wrx is like 35k you throw in 10k mod on the wrx that will kill many cars..

Classic example of bench racing. There are so many other factors that are difficult to assume away: gearing, weight of cars, the actual power curve as those numbers are peak numbers, etc. Bench racing just doesn't work.

well the numbers may be pretty close, but its cuz the wrx has awd....as we all know, they arent exactly topend powerful.

yeah...my bad... :( but another thing that you have to consider is the driver's....they could be good or shitty...and that would make or break a race between them...

that's not a very good comparison IMO.
The S2000 and 350Z are VERY similar as far as 1/4 times and 0-60 times, but look at the hp comparison

S2000:
hp: 240hp
tq: 153ft lbs

350Z:
hp: 287hp
tq: 274ft lbs

see if you look at it like this, the 350 should theoretically walk all over the S2000, but in reality, performance is almost identical to each other.

You forgot to mention that the S2000 is almost 500 lbs. lighter than a 350Z.. :D

The Z just has about 50 more peak hp and 110lbs+ of peak tq :rolleyes: :D

I know, that was the point of the post:D
power to weight ratio is probably one of the most important aspects of 2 cars you can compare.:D

s2000 came out a few years now, so if u like to stand out and want to brag about your spec.. the 350Z would be the bomb..

price range is the same.. unless ur a collector.. the s2000 is great.. so looks fine and fun to drive..

welp if i had the money I would get both..lol:hitit:

I was going to the 403Honda meet last week, and drove beside a 350Z for a bit. Tried to get the guy to run, but he wouldn't go.:D

I think the S2000 is too raw for my driving style. I need something like the 350Z with traction control, dynamic stability control, big brakes and whatever else they have haha
