It's 2016, buddy. If you can't think of a car more deserving of the term 'nice,' you don't belong here.
And yes, every 350z has a tack-welded plack in the doorframe with your honorary douche club membership, free only to 350z owners for the length of ownership of the car. Look it up.
>>15081629
Damn son you are clueless. VQ engines purrr like a lion.
>>15081590
They are good cars. The "big aftermarket" you're talking about is actually pretty shit unless you plan on dumping thousands into this car.
Sure you could buy a plenum spacer and pick up a few hp, but if you want to really build this car you're talking internals, F/I, extensive tuning and supporting mods.
>>15081685
>370z still sold

How is the 350z a douche car? You are just spouting insults instead of actually discussing anything you spergteen.
>>15081675
tturbo it urself senpai
How is it anymore douche than a guy driving a wrx, or a 330ci lol, at least it's fun and pretty reliable for a sports car
All Jap cars sound like shit, especially with aftermarket exhausts. There are a few Jap cars I still like from back when I was a teenager but I'm not fucking delusional.
>>15081726
Nah, you need to spend tons of money to make a miata good, I'd rather start at a good base than have to work myself up to a good car with mods

>implying you dont need to spend money on a 350z
if you ever want to make close to 350whp you will need new internals, VQ engines are weak as fuck
>>15081729
Any car that is remotely fast or sporty is automatically labeled a douche car by the fags that are too poor or boring to buy one.
The 1999 Nissan Z concept car was amazing. It was good when they finally brought back the Z cars, because everyone liked them back in the day.
>>15081730
>Jap cars sound like shit
My car sounds like a fucking mustang gt you dipshit. It doesn't have fucking nipp DNA.
>back when I was a teenager
Last summer
>I'm not delusional
But I think japanese engines inherently sound differently than those built in other countries. The Japs design exhaust to sound the same as other jap cars but separate than those built in any other country somehow
>>15081741
>300 HP stock
>weak
Ya sure bud
>>15081736
So you are just giving up? The only douche car in the world is whatever you're driving. How is that for an insult? I'm smoking fucking kush MATE.

>>15081762

Then whatever you are driving is pure comedy.
>>15081755
ya sure bud, considering the engine it replaced could easily make 500whp on stock internals
>>15081762
5.2-5.8 is laughable now? Okay
>>15081752
wew somebody got mad
>My car sounds like a fucking mustang gt you dipshit.
Keep thinking that your ebay fartcan makes you sound badass even though your car is slow as shit.
>>15081775
Let me guess you want 500whp, 2500 curb weight, 0-60 in 3 seconds, blah blah blah, that's enough shit posting
>>15081755
Aight I'm coming from experience on this. The car is definitely fun stock, BUT if you want to make it faster it is going to cost you.
He's right, if you want to brake the 350 mark you will need new internals. The engine is pretty much pushed to its limits already on the stock internals.It will cost thousands.. Assuming you do all the work yourself.
>the sheer amount of shit flinging in this thread
go to bed hunter
>>15081781
Well, mine doesn't because it has stock quiet exhaust. But the note is the same as that of a mustang GT. I dare you to deny it.

Figures a hotheaded drug addict wants to buy a douche car. In other news, the world is round.
>giving up
On what? This intellectual discussion with some pothead that wants to buy someone's worn out old car? Man, I just post the facts. It's how you're taking it that should be given up on. Don't fight it, just admit it. The 350z was once a decent car, but is now owned exclusively by douches. You want to be a douche. Don't feel ashamed, we all admit to something when we buy a specific car. Honda Civic owners admit to being boy racers, Chevy impala owners are niggas/wiggas, Saturn owners are flaming homosexuals that prefer bottom.
>>15081755

Where are you getting this from? IIRC ~280? But please enlighten me if I am incorrect.

You don't even know your stuff boy. 350z/G35 is owned by a lot of douches, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a great car. You can buy one and easily be just an enthusiast.
>>15081818

>>15081814
Well exuuuuuuuse me. Just kidding, looked it up and I stand corrected.
Looks like they upped the hp as the years went on. Either way, OP, if it makes you happy, buy it.
>>15081829
oh no, y-ya got me anon, I'm autistic :^)
>>15081590
If it was my money, I would rather go for the G35.
350z owners are usually lumped as posers in my area, while G35 drivers are lumped in as people who just want a quick car. Its only a touch slower.
>>15081835
Nope, i looked at the wiki and you're a dingus. They increased the hp in 2007.
>>15081843
I'm going to be tracking it often enough, that's why I'm looking at the brembo brakes package. G35 is 200lbs heavier on average. I like g35s too but I really like the body style of the z, it's just no other car shaped like it
>>15081852
I can think of one.
>>15081869

>>15081869

Kindve, z has a long swooping hood, the TT is stubby and well Audis from that era aren't really reliable
>>15081779
Its the same as a 2011 v6 mustang so for /o/ standards, its weak as fuck.
>>15081590
It all sounds good on paper, bit the actual car just doesn't have the right feel
>>15081659
go on ford/focus forums and you can get bits to build a NA 270whp MZR for relatively cheap
Insurance is high on 350z OP. it's a 2 seater sports car, I bit it'll be higher than a same year wrx

>>15084398
Yeah I've always been a faggot for Z cars, and the Z33 has been something I've wanted since they were first revealed.
How bad are your rates?
It feels bigger, slower, and heavier than it actually is so it's not that fun unless you're driving at a fast pace. L
My number one complaint with them. That and the visibility is atrocious.
>>15084409
In a world where most cars are FWD why wouldn't rwd be a bonus?

>>15084624
Or Audi.
>>15082282
yeah but you won't be seen sitting in a mustang by your peers
>>15084722
Yeah but those are 13-15k you can buy an 03-06 for about 8-10
