I would shy away from American cars..but thats just my opinion. I mean they are big and powerful but heavy and sluggish. 370Z is truly the car to get. You should tell him to test drive all the cars he is considering.

look at how the z handles through the cones!

 

ANYTHING but american

 

just to throw out another option, why not a bmw 135? Seems to be in the same price range as the other cars. turbo I-6 = win

 

370z.

 

Ok so end result is in, and part of me is hesitant to tell everyone here cuz I know some people will feel like they wasted their time and frankly i dont blame you lol, but his parents are actually going to surprise him with a 911 turbo that they just paid for. His older sister told me when I was at his house.

But for the record, after doing all this research and input im now seriously considering getting a 370z. and now i need to look into the 135i too. so its not a total loss or waste of time.

Anyone know which one has greater hp potential between the 370z and 135i?

 

370 afaik will have more of an aftermarket following. IDK how much power the Bimmer will take, but if your looking to mod that car, money shouldnt be an object.

solves everything

 

I would be more jealous if I could fit in a 911, but wow nice car.

 

oh believe me bro, after his sister told me and then he walked back into the room he was wondering why i was glaring at him like he kicked my dog er something lol. im all kinds of jealous.

 

personally i would take the evo X over the 911. they are ugly and overpriced.

 

to each their own i suppose. personally when im considering getting a car and im down to judging the appearance of a car, if it has four doors...i stop considering it lol.

 

^^ you can weld the doors and paint it lmao.. so when are you getting your 370?

 

Haha, x2

 

Hahahaha

NICE!! and then i can sit there watching the rear passengers as they try to figure out why the doors wont open! Hahahaha

idk man now im starting to take a good look at the 335i lol

 

^^ i would take the 335i over any of those you mentioned.. maintenance wise though you will have to spend a lil more.. and oh you should consider an m3 too, i've heard its not that much of a difference

 

Maintenance, on a new BMW? I take it you haven't heard the news.

^^ i've heard that.. a friend that just got his m3 mentioned that. its pretty good deal but after that its still gonna be expensive still, especially parts starts to wear the higher the mileage.. if you dont plan to keep the car long then thats even better.
