deank93 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I like pistonheads, been browsing the forum for years and only signed up a few weeks back so added my view....90% seem to love the 350 but I'm gob smacked there are people who don't think a car able to hit 100 in 13 seconds isn't quick....fools.

ArsenalMoh Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 The debate about whether a car is fast or not makes me laugh. That isn't opinion...it's a measured statistic. 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds. If you 'think' that's fast or not is an opinion....but that comes down to so many personal and subjective factors. - What you're used to driving - Your preconceived ideas about how a car 'should' perform - The price - The looks - etc... I think it's fine to say whether you regard a sub 6 second car as fast or not. This obviously changes with the times too....seeing as now there's cars out there that hit 60 in 2.5 seconds. I personally think the Zed is fairly fast....but I would agree that it doesn't 'feel' fast, but I think that's due to quite good and steady power delivery throughout the rev range. I used to drive a 1.8 140bhp Celica that would feel a hell of a lot faster when I'd shift down into second to get up to the lively part of the rev range. I think that Welshbeef bloke could just do with a bit of awareness of how the things he's gonna say are going to come across. The dumbest thing I read on that though was about ppl looking at us and thinking "couldn't afford a GTR". I went out today and every single motorist I saw... I thought... Couldn't afford a Bugatti / Rolls Royce / Pagani etc. I'd say 99.9999% of drivers worldwide don't have the car that they would love due to financial restrictions. That was literally the most poorly thought out argument I have ever heard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deank93 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds. 5.5 for the 313 owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmaci12969 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Its such a "Top Gear" thing to argue over. I bought my Zed cos frankly i liked it and weighing up the costs i thought i could afford it. Im not trying to be a poor mans Porsche owner or trying to outrun any other owner of a "fast car". I seriously couldnt care less. I just love the 350z so i bought one.*shrug* If it turns out that another car is 0.1secs faster in a 0-60 i will be sure to keep that in mind when im driving to work in the morning. I work in local government, tbh the longer it takes to get to work the better. I should sell the zed and buy some shoes tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhys1344 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 The bloke I bought my Zed off popped up on there, he saying that he would have another one (just a UK GT model, and newer) I had a 2002 import.. but for sub 5k im not complaining!! Fantastic car for the money!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
