gangzoom Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I been without my Teg for a few weeks now...to be honest i think the Teg was always just a little bit too raw for me though i really do think Honda will never make a more focused sports car. It took me a while to find a suitable replacement for the Teg...looked at DC5s, evos/scooby, RX-8, S2000, vx220s but eventually ended up with a 350Z In terms of performance the Z is in a different league to the Teg, the 3.5V6 is simply so smooth the Z will comfortably cruise_at 130+ all day long (on private roads ofcourse). As a GT car the Z is amazing, heated leather seats, climate control, a massive stereo, 80liter tank...infact every time i get into the Z i always end up taking the scenic route Unlike the Teg, the Z doesn't like to be pushed too hard (or it could be cos am a rubbish driver ) In the Teg i would regularlly hit the rev limiter in 2nd gear along a certain stretch of road, i did the same stretch today in the Z, at a similar pace, and didnt have to take it out of 5th:!: ...ofcouse that was part of the attraction with the Teg... Under heavy braking, and mid corner you do occassional "feel" the weight of the Z. But actually i find this quite reassuring cos you can really "feel" when the back ends about to go...and for the times when you dont feel the back go, the ESP kicks in (S2000 could do with this). If I was ever to buy a track day car it'll probably be another Teg or a Lotus elise type thing, but as an everyday car the Z is almost perfect. I think ill be holding on to my Z for a long time...after all you can spend alot more money on a porsche and still get less performance, more expensive running costs, and worse reliability Oh yeah the Z doesnt look too bad either...

sl114 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Nice pics and very shiny. I have driven a TEG and i have to say, the 350z wipes the floor with it. Its by far a better car all round. You have to get used to it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 and enjoy the forum. A nice lookin Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbad Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I love tegs mate, and wouldn't mind a DC5 with the C pack. With alittle tuning the 350z can be a much better track tool and alittle more raw/focused. It certainly has the potential to be fast round the track as prooved by some of the racing series where the Zed is doing great. Super GT etc.. Suspension mods are meant to be the nest mods for the Z so if your after alittle more edge to your car i'd go for that. As an everyday sports car Zed is awesome and then some. Its effortless power and balance is the things i like most. Enjoy anyway... the cars looking great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
