Copper colored 350z

Plays well with others
So I'm heading South on Prospect Ave, coming back from picking up some milk with Andrew (5 yr old future Typhoon owner). We come up to a red light and low and behold, there's this (GAY) copper colored 350z in the right lane. I'd say a 30 yr old guy is driving, and he looks over briefly, I figure, he'll probably go at the green, but I'm not gonna build boost or anything.

I check behind, up ahead, and to the left & right for our City's finest. None in sight. The left hand turn light turns green, both directions, so I know we're next. So I figure, if he gets on it, so will I up to about the speed limit (35) or what everyone usually drives (45) ....anything beyond that I wouldnt' do on a surface street. (plus no boost launch).

So light turns green, I take off medium speed, and I hear him nail it....so then I hit it, and we stay in front, (probably by a half to a car length). Once I reach cruising speed (45) I let off the gas and coast, (my turn off is coming up soon). I look in my rear-view, and see him back a few car lengths, looking like he gave up when we hit 35 and saw that he wasn't gong to pass a "Jimmy" as easily as he thought. As I'm slowing for my turnoff, I tell Andrew to look out the window and give him the thumbs up as he goes by.

Andrew does, but said he wasn't looking. Andrew said, "I guess he doesn't have a turbo, huh daddy?"

Re: Copper colored 350z

Good Kill. I was at the local 1/8th track which isn't really a track at all, at the stadium. It seems very difficult for me to coerce a race, especially when these punks think that I'm no challenge. Anyhow, the asian has a 350z all hooked up, and the officiators line us up. I look over at him, and he isn't the least bit impressed. Anyhow, I cut a .540 at the light, to his .9 on top of killing him in the 60' market, and needless to say, the spectators got to see a really nice 350z get its a double s handed to it. I love racing rice.

Re: Copper colored 350z

There's a TT 350Z running around town here. Silver colored with dark wheels and no gay rice spoilers. Supposedly, it has like 800HP. I don't know what it runs, but I think they're ugly cars. I like the older 300Z TT's. That is a design that was way ahead of it's time.

:stupid: Yeah, what is up with that? Last time I checked they weren't AWD TT. Unless I am missing something. Now if they did make the Skyline here, that would be one rice burner I wouldn't mind having.

There is 1 company out of LA I think that sells them, but be prepared to pay out the A$$. Im guessing 200K - 300K, after its imported and everything changed over. Ive seen 2 or 3 up close and its definitly a car I would love to test drive, plus I think right hand drive would be pretty cool. You could talk crap at light and only be inchs away from the other driver, not feet LOL!!!

Re: Copper colored 350z

200k-300k holy craps my bros.....
Skylines are like camaros and stangs... just about one everywhere you look.
You can pick one up cheap as chips or drop some mahor cash... Not all skylines are AWD
Not all have turbos. But a damn good looking car some are 4 door some are 2 door.
I was thinking about getting a Monaro to the states before I moved out here and I know that in Texas you do not have to convert to LHD. But you have to meet the federal emissions standards.

Re: Copper colored 350z

I dont think the company wastes their time importing anything other than the TT--AWD, what is it the GT35 I think. Anyhoo the major cost I seem to recall is alot of paperwork that the average person cant do and changing alot of stuff. I read all this sooo I dont know how much validity is in this.

Re: Copper colored 350z

350z's are high 13 second cars if driven right.. at least that's what i've seen from a few rich kids locally that have them... no challenge on the street light to light but they do pull hard on the top end.. somewhat but no ls1

actually that company "motorex' - (or something) went out of business. he got shut down after the feds caught on to what he was doing, they took all his cars and money and he'll be in jail for a long time. when he gets out theres a lot people that paid a lot of money for the cars that got taken away and theyll be looking for him. thats one person I wouldnt want to be.

Re: Copper colored 350z

I am saving my pennies for a Skyline which will be sold here starting Spring 08.
I'll have to hold off on having anymore kids just to be able to afford it...
