LA auto show

[s15dude]

Just saw the new Z at the LA auto show a few hours ago. It looks badass and a little smaller than the previous Z car. It was the right hand drive car that has been featured in all the magazines. It was tight! Will post pics as soon as they are developed. I also have some pics of the R-34 Blackbird that Craig Liberman just bought.

I got the new Sports Compact Car mag (btw going to autoshow tommorow) and it says they were dissapionted and called it a mule but hopefully the one we get will be faster! i think it was like at 260 hp or something Correct me someone. They were also talking about how its wack cause the new altima has like 240hp and maxima has 260 or something ill post the real numbers later.

Yeah I believe everything you said was right but the maxima is 255 (no big deal). I also read on freshalloy.com that they are going to have like four different models and the price from scc was pretty accurate. I will try to get that article. I am going to get a 350z when I graduate from college.

Big ups fast that car rocks, If someone want i can scan the article in and send via email?

That just goes to show how lame SCC is. If you look in that same article they say some stupid shit like the R33 in the Ultimate Car challenge weighs 4300lbs. I espicially dislike the guy in the beginning editorial who has the pic in front of the white Type R. And then after they bash the 350Z, they go on to praise Ford on the new Focus(!?!). And in the 350Z article they say something like "It makes only 60(?)hp per liter, minimal by honda standards" I guess someone forgot to contact that queer who does all the technical shit in the beginning because what it lacks in Hp per liter it makes up in torque. In a NA motor its pretty much a compromise between max HP or a overall balanced like the 350's.

From what  I remember,  they didn't really bash the 350Z...just hoped it would be better than  the test car.  And a test car is usually referred to as a "mule"...they weren't being derogatory.  I for one think the car could use some improvement from what I've seen/heard of it...but  even as is it should be great bang for the buck.

I don't know about the 4300lb.  Skyline, but typos do happen...possibly they meant 3400lb.?
