*Sick* with jealousy

Daz · 24-11-2006, 16:54

One of the devs here has been threatening to buy a 350Z for ages... and today he pulled up in it. Brand new, black, GT pack with orange leather... stunning. Just been round the bypass in it, I wasnt even driving it and I had a massive grin on my face.

Anyone spare 20k?

Like the TT, I found the 350Z better to look at than drive.

Sick with jealousy was pretty much how I felt when I met up my mate Nick a year or so ago and he'd taken delivery of his DB9.

No denying it felt well built (they did sort out the terribly interior plastics before going into production) but I found the handling a bit too lazy and that isn't what I'd expect from that sort of car.

At least the UK version I drove was better than the US one, that felt totally devoid of character!

It can be easily sorted out with a little suspension & geo setup though. Makes it a lot sharper.

I'd still want to turbo it if I had one

I think I would actually be sick with jealousy if someone pulled in a new Aston.

The problem I have at the moment is I'm eyeing up an S2000, but I really shouldnt spend the money. Stuff like this doesnt help :/

Burble · 24-11-2006, 16:59

I felt less sick when he gave me the keys

Good call on the S2000, I think they're a fantastic car.

I loooove the 350z - it's an awesome car. And it looks fantastic - I certainly loved the test drive I had of it. Of course I'd rather have an Aston, but I couldn't pull it off, the 350z I probably could.

I'm not that big a fan of the s2000 drive wise, looks wise it's awesome.

Another one of those cars I've been in but never driven myself. Think I'd have great fun in one, not least cus you can rev the **** out of it.

Will · 24-11-2006, 17:11

Yeah that can be fun, but I just didn't find it that fulfilling - though they do look and sound awesome - they need to be driven fairly hard to get the best out of them though.
