If you want the faster car, get the TT. If you want a rounded out sporty car, get the 350Z. (1/4 mile times are about 14.5)

Rep Power: 0 I just don't understand why some of you guys bought your civic in the first place. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] The civic isn't a bimmer or anything but it is a damn nice car especially for most of you teenagers to be driving. I don't find anything funny about the car or anything that would make someone embarrassed to drive it, which seems like what this thread is about. I mean if you wanted a barn burner, something to impress your friends with, something as fast as a viper, why the hay did you buy a civic in the mofudgen first place?

Rep Power: 0 Advice from a former owner of a 300ZX: Make sure you have some money set aside for repairs. You shouldn't have that many problems since those cars are built very well, but when you do need repairs it's expensive as h3ll.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 300Z TT is a KICK *** car. LOTS of potential, plus its fast stock as is. although, if your willing to pay insurance on a 300Z-TT, why not opt for a MK IV supra TT instead? or Z28 for that matter.

Rep Power: 0 69000 on a 93 is hella good, but then again, my 93 probe only had 64000 when I bought it (from a dealership) and it turned into one fuggin problem after the other with the transmission (ford=crap). Why don't you go with like an Acura? You'd still be in the honda family. You could get an integra. OR you could get a nice used subaru. They had a hella nice coupe a few years back, can't think of the name, but i really wanted to get one when my probe was bein a little ****. Anyway, good luck bro.

Rep Power: 0 tegs can suck my ***, there are more tegs here than civics and mustangs pt togather, wrx just looks cheap, period. the cheapest supra tt around ehre that look decent was last sold for 20000, 20000 i do not have. i sent an email to the dealer and this is what they said..
my email asked about my car's trade-in value, asked did they get a new timing belt (whcih my friend with the z said it needed to be changed) and i asked did they do the 60k miles check up at nissan, which it seems like they avoid that question, i would say the turbos ar eprolly crap now, if they didn't do the 60k mile check up, if i am going to buy it, i will bring it to a mechanic and have it take a look...
"we have just recently put a new timing belt and water pump on the 300ZX.
I need to know if your car is a 2 door or 4 door. Also, I can give you a approx. figure for trade, until I see the car I can not give you a figure set in stone.
Thanks,
