POLL & INTEREST: 2010/2011 "240sx" Replacement - Page 4 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ragnarok043 · 02-13-2009, 12:08 PM

Nissan already lost me as a customer, i plan on buying a second hand s2k this year and my budget is around 20k. if Nissan had came out with a light sports car around 20k-25k this year, i wouldve seriously considered getting a brand new car instead. even though i like the new 370Z and its relatively affordable, the Z just feels heavy, im looking for light nimble car.

The car is being postponed......

If that's the case, shouldn't they atleast release a concept? a sketch or some official confirmation on such a vehicle being postponed?

Weight matters.

but the GTR weighs 3800 pounds and keeps up with 3100 pound Z06's.

and the Z06 has more grunt and straight line speed.

Yeah... but the Z06 is a domestic... and domestics really aren't known for their sharp and agile handling characteristics.

Cobalt SS is the fastest FWD production car at Ring
Cadillac CTS-V fastest production sedan around the Ring
Dodge Viper ACR fastest production car around the Ring

yeah American cars cant handle.

Actually that would be the Renault Mégane RS R26.R. But yes, the Z06 can handle...

Cobalt SS is wrong wheel drive, and therefore it doesn't matter.
CTS-V? What other cars are really in the running? Last I checked, sedans really aren't the majority of sports cars... so it doesn't have too many threats.
Viper ACR... Sure, its a 'production car', but so is the Veyron...
And the Z06, I never said it can't handle... but I didn't single it out in the whole, "domestics aren't KNOWN for their sharp handling" statement.

agreed, only powerplant can be different, I4T, I6T, V8 doesnt matter to me as long as its one of those...

Z33 isint near as cool as S14a to me- looks, power, price, nor aftermarket support equal the S-chassis. I'm not one of these Z haters, i just like the S14 more. to me its ten times cooler.

The GTR is 4WD

Unfair handling comparison.

lv240s14 · 02-13-2009, 07:06 PM

350z's are too much money even used
Hyundai is going to sell alot of the genesis coupes because nissan doesn't want to bring something to america

new z 30k
new sti 30k
new evo 30k
new camero v8 30k
new mustang gt 30k
new genesis 22k or so
new silvia ????

all those prices are on the low side

if they can bring a new turbo coupe in the us for around 20k they can make money

-looks is definitely an opinion. my opinion is that s14's look like some sort of bastard Altima coupe.
-twice the power of an s14.
-not as much chinese ebay part support?

This isn;t ontopic t all anymore!

I picked i wouldn;t know till i see it!

dorkidori_s13 · 02-14-2009, 01:28 AM

back on topic guys...this isnt a thread discussing why the 350z is better than the S chassis or vice versa...the previous comments will be cleaned out as this thread isnt for fighting or arguing

discosteak · 02-14-2009, 02:16 AM

want to see the new replacement before i do anything

Enna · 02-14-2009, 04:47 AM

Honestly if it does go through I would really have to see it to be 100% sure. But given Nissan's track record with these things, aside from bastardizing the GTR with a NON stickshift (I dont give a fuck, I still want a clutch pedal), I would 95% pick up the new silvia. Looks of the Silvia's by far is one of my favorite looking cars ever. Its basic factory attributes are fucking incredible. And the parts availability makes it almost impossible to have the same setup as the next person, given that person also buys REAL parts (fuck knockoff body kits, yeah I said it).

I want to see a concept, bad.

98s14inaz · 02-14-2009, 08:48 AM

Screw these car companies. Hyundai is the only one who is actually making cool cars now. Toyota = yawn. Nissan = boring frustration. Honda = more of the same, nothing innovative.

I'll rock my free and clear s14 until I feel someone offers something worth me buying. No way in hell am I financing anything.

flip3d · 02-14-2009, 03:27 PM

As long as it doesnt have those ugly ass headlights that hook around the bumper, I'm in.

s0apgun · 02-14-2009, 03:51 PM

going to drive 20 year old pos for ever

180sx can't touch this

zerke · 02-14-2009, 05:03 PM

i dont understand why you guys even argue about this...you're all mostly wrong and I doubt you understand the market for cars or the current economy enough to even make a statement LOL. if you want a cool car just get a civic SI and put an exhaust in it. It will get you laid by filipina girls (if you pay them).

rcl1221 · 02-14-2009, 05:06 PM

until Nissan shows some official sketches, or something to give us faith... my money's going to Hyundai.

Like Sunday.

kognition · 02-14-2009, 06:59 PM

I don't care if they brought back the S15 and called it the S16. I would still buy a new one with the same frame/suspension geometry.

That's the problem...it won't be the same. It'll be some bloated under powered pos with an inflated price tag for sub par performance and way too many electronics

Do not want.
