Well, after intensive mental deliberations, I have decided to focus my efforts on a new car. I've been working on my car for almost 5 years, and I'm ready for a new project. So I ordered a Nissan 350Z on Thursday. It's the Track model, silver w/ carbon interior. Fun features: 280+hp w/ 267ft-lbs, 6 speed close ratio gearbox, vicious LSD, aluminum suspension, carbon-fiber driveshaft, 12.8" Brembo 4 piston front brakes, 12.7" Brembo 2 piston rears, front & rear spoiler, 18" Rays forged rims, TCS, shall i continue? arrival date for me: late April. the only thing that bugs me is that there doesn't seem to be enough room for a turbo in that engine bay...

 

How much is that setting you back?

 

after tax (3.17%)and dealer markup ($3K, which is going to be higher later), about $41.5K.... ouch...

 

well worth it though...supposedly nissan underated the hp...i've heard somewhere around 320 - 340 hp but that's just what i've heard...have fun with that man...they look niiiiice!!!!!!

 

hey, the more the better... after all, i've already ordered it...

 

good choice. please dont tell me you're selling your accord. anyways, i heard that the 350z and the r35 skyline basically have the same 3.5 liter v6 but the skyline is twin turbo. if you could just get the twin turbos from the skyline and put it on the 350z, u will have yourself a skyline...

 

Thats probebly one of the best values for the performance you can find. And isnt it viscous?

 

yeah, i was slightly inebriated at the time...

as for keeping my Accord, i don't know yet... i don't think i can afford both cars... so my Accord will probably be for sale in April... there's a lot of sentimental value in my car...

 

If you can, just have theft/fire insurance on it and keep it around. Then if you want to drive it, call up your insurance provider and swap from the nissan to the honda...do what you want with it and swap back. That's what my dad did between a '93 jeep wrangler and the accord i'm driving now. This was before he went out and got a '00 jeep wrangler 6 cylinder with 2k miles for 20g's.....

added: oh, btw......nice find.....performance for that relatively affordable price.....I'm looking into the WRX, but I've heard subaru's gonna bring the STi when mistubishi brings the lancer evo over to the states........So, we'll see.....as for now, I'm keeping my accord for a few years.
