I know about them and like to learn more about them. People will always be stubborn and thick headed though.

Im always looking to learn about other cars, im not singel minded at all. But when somone states bs and ricer facts they need to get called out on it lol


I want to get a EVO9 some time soon

Who cares about 350z's honestly? The car is a turd, on many aspects. It's one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen, seriously. The engines sound like ****, and it's not the handling demigod of cars people make it out to be, by far. Oh and don't forget Nissan reliability!

I really don't understand how somebody can think a 350Z is ugly. I can see "not my cup of tea," but ugly? And personally, I think the VQ35DE is the best sounding V6 ever made. And as far as reliability, my dad had a '00 Maxima that he put 75k miles on in 3 years with zero problems, and I had an '05 Frontier that I put 21k hard miles on, in 3 months, with zero problems... Now granted, that's not a long period of time, but I think if there was gonna be a problem with it, it probably would have atleast shown a little bit in that time.

You're an idiot.

So you're going to compare a TURBO 350Z to a stock or bolt on LS1?? And you're trying to make the LS1 look bad because it can't quite match the 1/4 mile of a ******* TURBO 350Z?? They don't come with turbos from the factory you moron, you need to compare apples with apples. How about you compare a turbo 350Z to a H/C LS1 or a Procharged LS1?? Then the 350Z gets dominated.

American Muscle will always be faster, sound better, and be cheaper to mod than your shitty Jap cars. Get over it and move on already, trolling around this site is retarded

O Thats right its a AE86! Want to geuss what sus setup it has, hum..... SOILD AXEL!
Not to nitpick, but that was probably a bad example... the AE86 "Hatchiroku" is coveted mostly by people that want to drift them, in which case a solid-rear is not a bad thing at all. A better example would be the people that auto-cross the mid-late 90s Sentras... they had a solid "rear" axle too, but were known for handling well .

Not entirely true... that is a subject that is best dealt-with on a case to case basis.

Ever watch the Touge runs? Hot Version?

Drift king owns a AE86 and it is setup for more GRIP driving and he has handed many cars there ***.

Sentras you talking also are very good hanlding cars


Alot of people clean up the road course with AE86s, people just think there only a drift car, but thats not true at all.

They are a very well balanced car

EVOs are prob the fastests import on the market when it comes to mods...

There is quit a few low 11 stock turbo ones, and somone went 10s stock turbo..

Evos parts arent to expensive either

I particularly like the inclusion of the "award-winning" phrase.

Sort of like your Nippon "masterpieces" should realize they were not meant to be on a drag strip (unmodded, at least)??

BTW; the Trans Am series road race ONLY cars did just fine around turns, oversteer or not. Believe me, NONE of your "time attack" imports could hang with them.

So you're saying the Evo looks and sounds nice??



Show me a good looking, good sounding, fast Jap car that is cheap to buy and mod. And no, Supras are expensive to buy, mod, and maintain, so don't try and say that.

There are none, thats the bottom line.

People who complain about price, obviously cant afford it. If you took the time to do a search and see how much it would cost to build an import, you would know, its damn near the same as modding a domestic. If you fix those blisters on your hand from jackin off to the teletubbies, you would know how much it cost.

His would be the exception, not the rule. Though they are well-balanced... for *grip* racing, I'd take an S13 240SX over an AE86.

If you want to get into it S13s tend to under steer a wee bit....

S14s is a much better plate forum

It's almost the same exact platform... and the S13 that I drove for a few months showed no real tendency for understeer. Though I'm sure if it did, it would be quite the easy fix. Most people that auto-x have the suspension-basics done, I'm sure.
