Hello all

 

I'm not a 300zx owner at the moment, but I'm thinking about one for my next car. At the moment I'm driving a 2.2 VTEC Prelude, and have had it for around 18 months. It's fantastic, and a great balance between being fun and practical, and very good as a daily driver.

 

However, I'll probably be faced with a wife wanting babies in a few years, so my time with sporty coupes is limited and I'd like to try one other before the family car era beings...

 

I'll be looking for a sporty coupe with upwards of 250bhp. I'm considering a modified 200sx, but for the money, I've realised I could get a non modded 300zx with more power.

 

I also think the 300zx looks great. I'd be looking for a 2+2 UK TT version. I'll be lurking the forum for a while trying to get a feel for the car and get used to the issues etc.

 

Cheers

Tom

OK, your 'Lube has 150bhp/ton

 

A typical N/A would have about 153bhp/ton

 

On that basis, there's very little in it. However, if you add lb/ft into the equation you're gonna find in gear acceleration much superior - especially as honda engines are not renowned for their low-end torque!

 

If you don't let the doom-mongerers (sorry peeps) lead you down the N/A route and choose a proper man's car instead - A.K.A the Zed TT, then things start to look at lot more impressive..

 

Typical TT will be about 190 bhp/ton and will have monster torque (think double what your 'Lube has).

 

If you really need to scratch that itch befor the day comes where you have to hang up your sportscar keys for the MPV keys instead, then i suggest you go out with a bang and something you'll remember!

 

The TT is like a drunk nymphomaniac, whereas...

 

the N/A is a sober nun...:lol:

 

These are the kind of thoughts I'm having, yes.

 

Want to sell me yours? :)

I'd think about selling you mine :p

Hi Tom,

 

Welcome to the forum - and good luck in your search for a 300zx!!

LOL, i bought mine when i foud out the wife was with child lol :-) with the idea of selling when the baby arrives, but with only 11 weeks till the big bang, i cant imagine me wanting to let her go (do i mean the car or the wife? you decide lol)
