Beavis Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Still a truly beautiful car and one that hasn't aged much in my opinion. I'd have one. Just out of interest Dave, how much does it cost to keep on the road? You hear horror stories for prancing horses and just wondered how bad it actually is. He as an annual service and i know the last one cost about £500 done by a ferrari independant specialist. My brother is in the Ferrari owners club so like here he will get to hear of the best places to get such work done. I know that it had the cambelt job done just before he had it and i think that is about a £2k job as its an engine out job. Its shortly going in to have some cosmetic paintwork done mainly front end due to stone chips and this will be about a £500 job. But overall he does not do an awful lot of mileage in it yearly so really costs are not to bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Its too quiet on any car Far too quiet for me But at least you can have a conversation in the car. Ok if you dont have an other half, but try getting the missis to do a 3hr journey to Wales with your kind of exhaust That is true. I gave a friend a lift a while back & she tried making a phone call i was quite unpopular when she had to hang up because she couldnt hear anything Even the NISMO at "reasonable" motorway speeds used to stop me from voice dialling....pardon!!!

Adriank Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I'm with Ian on this one, its a great sound but WAYYYY to quiet for me. Was a good intro to the 350Z sound, but some of us just like it a bit louder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac1984 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Can't beat the Aston Martin DBS exhaust note, the V8 Vantage sounds great too. I am abit bias though being that I work for them! lol I've fitted a Larini system to a standard DB9 and bloody hell was it loud. I've just bought my 350z and was wondering if there was any real benefits of the true dual exhaust system? I am also tempted to knock a similar setup to the Aston's Active bypass system, which would give the best of both worlds. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
