1) Since when has a spelling bee had anything to do with grammar?

2) Can you even tell me the name of the person that Nissan hired to create the exhaust note you're speaking of? Hint: He's an orchestra conductor.

3) Keep fooling yourself that the 350z sounds any different than a stock G35 or FX35 or even Maxima with an exhaust.

4) I never mentioned I didn't like the sound, I simply DO NOT like the VG and VQ engines. The RB has far more potential than a VQ ever will and other than what's in Supra's and BMW's there's not too many other engines that perform or sound like it. I'll take a turbo in-line 6 over an overly complicated over-engineered V6 any day. ;)

I was at the light before entering 400 and he was reving like crazy so I just ignored him but then but then he started riding my bumper the whole way so i said f**k it! All I remember is seeing him keep up in 2nd then him start to disappear while I shifted to 3rd. Hit 140mph and hit the brakes.. He did a fly by and got a speeding ticket 2 exits up lol:lmfao:

I, myself, would know better once you started pulling like a freight train. If anything, I would speed to catch up and check out your ride.:D

Probably the same dick that is always revving at the Caffeine & Octane meets. There's two of them that just sit there and rev giving BMW owners a bad name lol!

Only thing I would do different would be take the headlight film off and actually smoke out the inside of the headlights. Also, maybe a nice set of HREs or DPEs. Matte black center with a polished black lip. But, too each his own. It's definitely a sick ride.

nice car & nice girl, definitely the keepers.

We should do a small shoot for your black Z and my White Z when we get the chance. Hit me up, I'm up on Buford/GA Mall area.

nice car, just curious, what is the benefit of going down from a bigger displacement engine to a smaller displacement of the RB2.6?

Vq wasnt meant to be TT'd. Yes even tho u can build it to death and run boost, I would always have the thought of it blowing up in the back of my mind. Plus Rb26 is WAY more fun to drive, totally changes the driving experience in the Z and very easy to get reliable power out of it. Just my :2cents:

Now that's a Z I actually like.

Three words...

Inline six cylinder..... What the Z should've always had
