350z

While I was visiting my mom back home saw it. At first I couldn't really make out what in the hell I was looking at. I noticed a bunch of guys gawking at this sweet royal blue car. So being stopped in traffic on 42nd(NY) I look back to see WTF was goings on, and gaze upon one sweet sports car 2dr with the nissan emblem I was like WTF I've never seen any damn Nissan that looked that good, but to avoid a serious traffic accident(trying not to get hit by a damn cab) I rolled the fug off. Got back and talked to LanEvo about it only to find that I had been staring at the next Japanese Supercar to hit the US soil Nissan's 350Z.

I'm not a phan of the new look, but it does look good in that blue color they have. speaking of seeing new cars out and about, ran across 2 new mini's driving through the hills this weekend. they look chauncy

With EBS and ABS and Brembos running a VQ35 engine making 290HP maybe even 300 its more a half skyline monster. The thing looks awesome though. You need to see it up close to know what I'm talking about, but believe me seeing it in person makes a huge difference. It might even be enough to beat an Evo or 2 next year.

I've seen it at a few shows already in person. still not a fan, I loved the old z cars and thought this was not along their lines style wise. but yeah, half a skyline is a good summation

cool ride

I think they are nice, the only thing that I'll contest to are those back tail lights, wth were they thinking to stretch them up so far.

Other than that, they are PHAT

Ford neutered the hp on the marauder to evaide gas guzzler taxes

Wish trucks had to follow the same rules.
at least 22.5 No tax
at least 21.5, but less than 22.5 $1000
at least 20.5, but less than 21.5 $1300
at least 19.5, but less than 20.5 $1700
at least 18.5, but less than 19.5 $2100
at least 17.5, but less than 18.5 $2600
at least 16.5, but less than 17.5 $3000
at least 15.5, but less than 16.5 $3700
at least 14.5, but less than 15.5 $4500
at least 13.5, but less than 14.5 $5400
at least 12.5, but less than 13.5 $6400
less than 12.5 $7700

That sure the hell would kill the huge suvs, they even get out of paying luxury tax...3% of the amount the car's purchase price exceeds $40,000.
