so a guy came into work with a 350z and the guy that drives a 03 c5 here at work was all freaked out about how awesome they are. anyways the guy with the 350 said that he was going to do the greddy twin turbo on it and then he would be able to beat a c5. i thought they would already, and that is sad to drive a 40000$ sports car and have to spend like 6000 to make it as fast as a c5. why wouldnt you just get a 3rd gen??

'Cause it's newer!
The Corvette guy must be a loser. While his car cost more, it will perform better in every performance aspect. That turbo kit for the 350Z is putting out about the same power as the base model Corvette, once you install all that the car will weigh at least 100 lbs more.
I think around here you could get the Z06 for the same money as the 350Z+ that turbo kit. And that comparison wouldn't even be funny.

with every conceivable option the car is $35000, but you can
buy the car as cheap as $27000
why bother with a FD? why not put money into a TII and be
as fast as a C5, or better yet- put a big block in a Ford Pinto
and be just as fast
its not always about speed, some people want a nice new car
with a warranty and some resale.

no more warranty after he installs the twin turbo kit from greddy.
FD isn't hte ultimate car, rx7s are not the ultimate car. Different people have different opinions.
