Muffleman Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 We have discussed before just what car can replace the Supra and what we will be modding in 5 years time, and one car suggested is the 350Z. This month's Jap Perf has got three modded 350s in it, all with different styling and engine mods. But I have to say, they just aren't interesting me at all. Don't like the jelly mould shape, and none of the body mods shown improve it at all. Yes I know this is a Supra forum and I am biased, but just not 'feeling' the 350Z Er, am I alone in this ?

Steve Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I have to agree mate. Just not got the same presence for me as the Supe has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I like the looks of them and do also like the sound of a V6. my father in law was looking for a new car recently, and took one for a drive. I tried to talk him into getting one but he said they weren't refined enough. He bought a Z4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilly Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 How about the RX 8? Now thats a lovely looking car. In 5 years time how much could that engine be modded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 Yeah good choice, prices are coming down too. Drove a 231bhp version, nice little car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If U put 2 singlez in it even a Veyron will be beaten. Yes that is exactly what I was saying Tit. There are many cars out there better than my 13 year old Toyota, and I will admit that any day of the week. I assure you I am not blinkered in my views of the Supra. I like the 350Z. I don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I test drove one in SA (no Supras in SA ) and I actually quite liked it... Drives well, feels nice and balanced, responsive and had a very nice sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 In 5 years, we will still be modding our supras... that or the new supra or new skyline... hmmm, the R34 might be resonably priced in 5 years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil tt Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I thought they looked very nice, and they have 500cc over the Supra:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Was very close to buying one a little while ago but decided to keep the supra and use the money to pay a chunk of the mortgage off. It just did'nt do it for me in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivingTheDream Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Thats the problem with many modern cars they all look too similar-It has shades of the Audi TT in it for me. Back in the day (and still now) nothing really looks that much like the Supra apart from them Hyundai Coupe things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 would a turbo'd one be any better...?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 350Z's rock. I think a lot of Supra guys will move to them over the coming years. OK so they look they've been punched in the nose a few times, but there is a lot of kits for the Zed already, probably more than the Supra! They handle like they are on rails too. Great all round car. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pot Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 To me, it's the same as the RX8, designed for the 'urban gentleman', (The RX8 is worse in my eyes, it's got better access for the kids), The Sup is designed to look great, to look classy, to look outrageous, to look stunning, and of course, to go bloody fast... The other 2 are way too conservative for my liking... Not slating the cars though, I'm sure they're a fantastic drive, but they don't seem to fit the criteria I hold the Sup in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 If I was in a situation where I had to have a company car at that kind of budget it would be on the list, I wouldn't buy one with my own money though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stupra Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Like Gaz has said, there are a fair few kits out now for the 350z and some of them look good, I like them. That said I think they need a turbo or supercharger added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 The review in Jap Perf was good as it had three 350s, one NA one SC and one Turbo'd. So the kits are out there, just not sure if I would have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
