Gorgeous cars, a decade later they STILL turn my head.

Right. But as said above, for 90k u can have a 350Z and a Z06. Which would you take?

n/m.. I'll answer that for you.. the 350Z and the Z06. =)

For the price of a Porsche 911, I could also have a 350Z and a Z06. Hell, for the price of a 360 Modena, I could have a 350Z Track Edition, a Z06, a full optioned Mini Cooper S, and some money left over to fuel all three for years.

Bottom line, the comparsons don't mean jack squat b/c there IS no comparison. A Z06 is NO WHERE near as refined, balanced, put together as well, or up to the NSX's interior quality. Likewise, the 350Z isn't as fast, as good handling, or track worthy as the NSX.

Oh BTW, the NSX does 0-60 in about 4.7 seconds and 1/4 mile in 13.1 seconds @ 109.1 MPH. The 350Z would be about a second behind in each case and down 7 MPH in the 1/4 mile.

You're only looking at the few things the NSX beats the vette in, but if you want no comparison, look at the performance statistics between the two cars for the money... so if you want a better interior for $40k, be my guest. I'll take my vette and beat u on the strip and on the auto X

I was just pointing out the fact you could have a 350Z and a Vette instead of buying an NSX, I don't see where I said the 350Z would outperform the NSX?

I love the new 7. I didnt like it all that much at first but now i think it is awesome

The 5-Series is the only BMW that really has no equal IMHO in it's class
The 3-Series is second to the Audi A4 Quattro in my books (and the M3 will no doubt be raped by the V8 S4 coming)
The 7-Series is third to the Audi A8 and S-Class in my books
The X5 isn't even an SUV. Give me a Touareg with the V10 diesel

The 3 series ruins the looks of the audi's, the 7 series owns the a8. The a8 looks like a toyota or something. Anyway, what i want is the new VW luxary mobile.

v12 engine, looks sorta like the 7 series i guess but with an "audi" look obviously since they are related companies
Volkswagen Luxary Sedan - V12

However, this BMW does also look nice
BMW CS1

and for the worst looking car you've ever seen in your life
Chrome Jaguar

EDIT:PS. i am a little biased considering i kinda hate sports cars. I never liked the z3, roadster or normal, and i dont like corvette/mustang/anything of that nature. Im more of a sedan type

Same here, I hated it at first but it has to be the most "it'll grow on you" car ever, because now I think it looks amazing. Not to mention that seeing one in person absolutely shatters your conceptions from pictures.

The Z4's lines are a bit too busy and I'm not a fan of the front, but I have a feeling it's gonna grow on me too.
