Personally I hate the 350z. My buddy when I was in high school got a brand new one for his 16th b-day. 50 grand from the factory, and that thing moved. He let me take it out on the highway and I had it up to about 260km/h in seconds. Definitely fast, but feels like its missing something. I've seen people twin turbo those G35's and raced it against a Z06, left the Z06 in the dust. Nice choice of car . Regardless of this being a dodge forum.......post some pictures up when you get that thing turbo'd

I was a motorcycle mechanic for a long time. I have met 5,000 people that have the same outlook as you do when it comes to bikes. I have no problem with it, and I feel the same way about Harleys. "Real" motorcycles in this case are slow, loud and spew fluids. I'm not hating on your bike, I have just had this exact conversation a million times.

it ran 12's in the 1/4 mile. that thing you have could probably do 10's, but i really have no desire to go that fast on 2 wheels. Even 12's was a little nerve racking. its never "spewed" any fluids and i like it loud. Ive also seen lots of kids die on crotch rockets from screwing around. Of course, Ive also seen a few middle aged guys die on harleys because they turned 50, bought a harley, thought they knew what they were doing, then crashed and burned.

Ummmmmm........ I'd think I'd rather take the mustang.
But then again I hate fords. There's only 3 vehicles that ford made that were actually worth buying. F-150 Rousch Charged, Mustang ( Saleen, Rousch, Corba)...... And the Ford GT

Honda..........well they have good fuel economy Pretty much the highlight of that company.

Of course to most of us we would take the mustang, but there are plenty of ricers out there that would like a civic more. To us doesn't make sense but its just our perfernce

to each his own.

As much as i like dodges and dakotas especially, i am kinda happy that not everyone and their mother has one, makes them more rare and more of our own if you can understand that...

Definitely understand that. Rather have a vehicle that very few people have then one that everybody has. Its definitely why ferrari's and lamborghini's are so rare, also the fact that they cose about 10 times as much kinda plays a roll in that too.
