friend of mine sold his 350z for an m3, the reason being he wanted 4 seats. theres no doubt its quicker, it feels much more urgent than the slightly lazy engine in the Z. the Z does look miles better and i hate the noise the e46 makes, its really tinny and raspy.

what i cant understand is in all his 350z reviews he describes the engine note as a drone...has he got feckin carrots in his ears, i genuinely think for the money its one of the best sounding cars. my mate has an e92 m3 and even he comments on how nice the noise is everytime he's in it!! how he can say a mazda rx8 sounds good and a 350z sounds awful just baffles me (if you pardon the exhaust pun) i usually like clarkson but on this occasion.....CLARKSON, YOU ARE A #!$/!

i have the same one, a good cheap mod!!

its the vredstein tyres mate, they have a weird tread pattern but they are on correct. my dad has them on his car and i thought the same thing when i first saw them.

sorry to buck the trend but not a fan of those wheels at all. i think they look better on lexx's white car but just think they look abit tacky and detracts from the style of the 350z, sorry anyway just my opinion and i appreciate everyone has different tastes.

red and carbon....very cool!

come on....its so pointless putting a thread like this up with no pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Correct I like to be seen What colour did you say that flashy run-about you are currently using is? Run around: how do you like the 430 compared with the lambo...my friend has just fitted a Larini exhaust on his 430 cab and it sounds incredible!!! i'll try and do a vid and upload

just drove past my local mazda garage and there must be no less than 10 rx-8's on the front. good car for the cash, borrowed my mates for about 2 months last year. i just found the lack of torque frustrating and the mpg was worse than my 147 gta which i had at the time and that is saying something!!

i love those old classic cult cars....always wanted to own an original bmw m3 but that skyline would also make it into my garage. so much pedigree and seriously cool!!!

haha, i'll use that one later in the pub!!

its alot of horsepower but it does weigh in at over 2.5 tonnes which does put a pretty big dent on all that power. i think they look very cool, but 80k for an estate...you gotta be crazy or really love your dogs!

classic

if i'm honest, they are abit boring mate but i appreciate everyone has different taste so just my opinion.,

haha, now play nice sarnie!

really nicely done mate, how much do you charge for a daily rate?

i know its so depressing watching the rain bead off my freshly waxed bonnet (when i re-read that it sounded abit dirty)

"sadly cat d" shame they didnt do a proper job and get it off the roads for good!!!

looks stunning mate...damn i want a white one!!!!!

bloody hell, i suppose with the money spent on it you'd have to call it a bargain! i always thought the vtr was a 1.6? i had a saxo vtr, quite nippy actually

i must confess when i had my first car a little peugeot 106 quiksilver i wasted so much money on it and had a big exhaust so i could pretend it had a 2.0 litre in it. and now im all grown up im exactly the same with my Zed!! quite like those little c2's, did you ever see SQ Plus C2, it was the alpine project car....now that was over the top!!!!

alot of car for 5k!! meant to be great cars, enjoy off roading!!

I am so not getting into that arguement! Yes I am... I thought my Zed sounded rubbish until I fitted a new exhaust. same thing I did to the Rex. As for lack of torque. The car isnt designed for pure grunt like a Zed is. It's is handling that sets it above the rest for the price. how can you say a 350z sounds rubbish!!

definitely the golf out of those three. if you dont want to spend too much then the st. think the rx8's are abit of dull now, sound rubbish and lacking in torque. had a go in a chipped st last week and it was seriously quick....just dont get in jaffa orange!!

get all that heavy audio equipment out of the boot!!!! that should save you a few tenths!
