Re: I-6 Vs. V-6
Nah, the 350Z is slow and lame compared to the old 300ZX twin turbo.
I heard something about a 350Z twin turbo coming out, might get interesting but if it doesn't beat the old 300ZX out of the box, it's a lost cause.

Re: I-6 Vs. V-6
the power of the inline engine is way more linear IMO
and ---- the 350z - crock of ---- 280hp
sounds cool - looks cool
but my four door sedan with 180ish hp is a contender with that car
plus the interior is garbage
