    that's a nice looking car. I've heard it's not that fast though. you need a car with lots of torque

    maybe you should fit one of these in the 350z, with a maximum torque of 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102 rpm.

    Which ever source you heard that from must only be driving 911's or aston martins...

    I've driven this car, and it is very quick (quicker than a boxter, which isn't that quick to be honest). It is however very twitchy, you need to be careful with the 350z.
    Try to imagine nothing ever existed...

    well the guy who told me was obviously way off. Looking into it a bit more it sounds a nice machine. definitely will be on my list for my next car along with the vauxhall vx220.

    Not as twitchy as the S2000:eek: , although its not difficult to get the rear end to step out but is very easy to catch, my missus, can do a perfect drift around the nearest roundabout.

    It will also spin its wheels in 3rd with ease.

    You're looking at it from totally the wrong perspective. Four wheels moves the body, two wheels moves the soul :D.

    Honestly, if you've never tried a bike, spend £100 (or whatever it costs these days) to do your CBT. If you get off grinning like a loon, you're hooked for life, no two ways about it. Your parents will hate it, your wife will try and make you sell it to buy a new kitchen, but when you're on your own, country road, sun shining, absolutely nothing beats it. Failing that, S2000, yeah.

    Older 911, or 924, or TVR, or Dino. You'd probably spend loads on repairs, but it'd be an excellent cure for your MLC.
