In the past 10 months of ownership not one car was able to outrun me at the lights! (including evos, hondas, wrxs). And I have not had a single problem since I bought it (apart from the rough idle which was due to a fowl sparkplug).
As far a consumption is concerned, the Z is rated at 15.5 litres/100km urban cycle, I get around 14.5 litres/100km urban thrashing cycle same as my 2.5 V6 Diamante auto.
So quit complaining (for the few who do ) and enjoy this very unique car!

I feel you on the "quit complaining" stuff. And yeah, the numbers are very misleading since the car is blast to drive...But I'm not too sure about smokin' Evos. After all, they've got turbo, a fancy vetned hood and Brembo brakes--right Ike?

I just finished saying that they are both GREAT cars...I, personally, perferred the 8. The post is not 350 v. 8. It's to ask people to trade their cars in if they're just gonna bitch about it.
So next time you wanna chop a thread...make sure it's either
1) One that you started or
2) That you are contributing a final conclusion to the issue
In either case, No...you didn't so thanks. Dismissed.

Down boy.
You need not have taken it personally. And do not refer to me as 'bro', because I'm not one of your 'boys'.

You know what...you're right! You aren't one of my Boys. For that I apologize to them. But seems to me that you're the one taking things personally...what's it matter what I call you? I'm a computer screen...did I hurt your feelings?
This is an online forum, DUDE/LADY. Not a Saloon at high noon. What I'm saying is, don't bust up in here and think you're the end-all-be-all and chop my thread, DUDE/LADY.
