Good looking ride! I got to imagine its pretty responsive with those 280HP :)
Just a friendly FYI: but I think those had an air bag recall. Might want to see if yours has been fixed.
Its always nice to have a car that can go really fast +150MPH. Not that we will ever do it, but its nice to know we could if we really really needed to :rolleyes:
 
It is pretty peppy, not a lot faster than my SC was...so it feels, but it is really hard to tell because the powerbands are so much different.

Thanks for the heads-up about the air bags I'll look into that.
 
Sweet ride. How comfortable is the interior?

I have been thinking about one for awhile now but wasn't sure they would be big enough for me.

Any plans for it or are you leaving it stock?

I'm not a little guy by any means 6 ft, 210, and I'm comfortable, but any bigger than me may be pushing it. It does have a telescoping steering wheel so that helps out a bit.

I've been reading up on mods and they don't respond that well to bolt ons....and CAI mods may even hamper performance.....So I went out and bought myself a Wix air filter (it is what a lot of dirt late model guys run no HP loss over K&N and actually keeps the engine clean). I may eventually put on a Z-tube....intake tube off the 350z which doesn't have the air silencer part on it, and that just makes it sound meaner apparently, and possibly a plenum spacer which gives like a 10-12hp gain.

On a side note I'm really not used to a 5-speed auto. It is taking some getting used to...

Thanks for the information. I am 5-11 so I should fit then.

The lack of available worthwhile mods does bother me. I guess you have to applaud manufacturers for being more efficient.

I have seen some Twin Turbo G35, and they can seriuosly move :eek: So they do have lots of potential, but with that being said you will need to have some seriuosly deep pockets for that.

If you are looking for a car that is mod friendly, I would suggest maybe a civic. On average I hear that each sticker will add about 25HP :rolleyes: ;)
