The new 240 is based on a shrunken FM package. Plus it is rumored that Nissan is leaning towards a 1.8L engine with variable valve on intake and exhaust.

Being that its a new generation of car it will probably weigh more (like all other cars when the newer models come out) like in the 3000lb range.

Depending on what you like about the 240, the new model's power to weight ratio will probably not be too impressive (stock). And the whole reliability thing goes out the window when you start replacing warranty-ed parts in lue of more power.

As much as my heart wants to say "hell yeah, I'm headin to Nissan as soon as they announce it," I can't help the fact that I'm probably gonna need a test-drive and read some reviews before I throw 22-23 grand at Nissan.

I love my 240 because of no car note, warranty is expired (so I can swap out whatever I want with no reserve), and my insurance is $80 bucks a month with full coverage. And thats with 10 speeding tickets in 3 states and a pending DUI! My insurance would be pushing $450-500 a month in somehting new.

Either way, choice is yours, your gonna do whatever you want.

if u really want a Z that bad you should just buy one now and test drive the silvia when it comes it. if u like it then trade the Z in for it, or you can always pick up another s13 for the weekend later on. i fully understand having a hard time letting go though.

ummm...that's something you should NOT be proud of.

did you try getting liability for the 350z with some comprehension coverage, so basically its covered for if it gets stolen, and obviously if someone crashes into you, minus you crashing it by yourself

thats what i did with my r6, and insurance was pretty damn cheap

oh and if all fails, just buy a used bike? lol

just a thought

You need full coverage on any car that the bank still technically owns. I would keep full coverage anyway its stupid to have liability only on a Z.

350Z's are ugly in my opinion, the only new car I'd want right now would be the Hyundai Genesis coupe.
