How will the increasing cost of gas affect YOU?

Never liked Sylvia's, there is nothing really bad with them but I just don't like them. Now Z's are a different matter, give me a cheap old 280-300-350zx and I'll race you with that, even knowing that I'll loose and still have a ball doing it.

We had a guy from the UAE (they like big engines over there) come to Australia to have a try out in one of our v8supercars. He said they were more fun than driving a Porsche in the Porsche cup.

Very nice race. I see what you mean.

Have you fixed up your car in any way or is the same standard factory production? Did you upgrade your engine?

I want to put nitrous in mine and upgrade the engine.

Storm, I don't know, I really like the 240 because of how cheap they are to run (new used engine about $1,500 etc.). 300Z had an awesome look and great performance, my only complaint about it was that twin turbo... such a pain to fix / replace. 350z is good, but only as a "show off" kind of car. Costs here about $50,000 and I find it a bit on the heavy side. But it sticks to the road surprisingly well (better than I ever thought it would). I wouldn't mind having that in convertible just for cruising around and smiling at people, not racing.

Lemko, my car is bone stock, not a single change . Google Nissan Altima SER and read the specs, Nissan decided to create this line of "SER" Sentra's and they were hugely successful, cheap yet superior performance wise. So they extended that to Altima (not that successful) and I got one. Suspension is from Skyline, engine is the Q35 same one they use on Z350, Infinity G35, their SUVs etc, just different compression ratio. 6 speed manual gives a different gear ratio than that on a 5 speed and I like it better. The wheels are high end, very light and low profile (tires 225-45-18). So the car was set up well from the factory, the only change I wanted to make was CAI, but didn't come around to it yet.

And the best part - it is way cheaper than Z350 or any of the Infinity G series vehicles.
