hagar Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Well life since the 350z has been tough. I missed noise, performance and though my discovery was giving me a nice place to be and the smart car a cheap place to be, I decided I needed power again. So I took the landrover in and part-ex'd it for something a little different.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Cool. I like them. Good bhp per pound. Much like the Z I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam's Z Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Very sleek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagar Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 currently 330bhp and 5 secs to 60 top speed is 178 - no restrictor - upping the power is very easy. Getting the wortec system for it whch will add almost 100bhp for next to little investment and yes, its fast - dont feel it but its acceleration is epic - i'd say dont try a rolling race with one thats for sure!

hagar Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 savd 1500 on the car and then got the trade in up by 1500 the thing is rapid but also very very lazy. 70 in 6th is ticking over at 1200rpm so you have to be in the right gear to give it some, I take back about a roll on race as I think the zed would muller it in 6th and possibly 5th but in the other gears i'd say its not going to be close. fantasically equipped, its no zed in the handling but its very comfy and has great feedback just not as quick to turn in. Its bloody long too, much longer than my discovery!! Anyway this isnt a zed is it? I miss the zed but this gives the performance and practicality i want. If I get to 350 posts do I still get my sticker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I drove one of these (VXR version) on an Autocar track day - Good value for money with the kit and spec but it drove like a mobile armchair on marshmellow wheels. Doesn't come close to the Z experience - it didn't feel as powerful as the specs would have you believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Perhaps with the correct chassis mods to make it handle well it could be an absolute weapon. I like the look and if you need practicality then it's a better proposition than a TT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
