Summer Yellow 951.
Also available with V8 for those who struggle to remember to change timing belts...
However, little 350Z Fanboi wouldn't know if it was an S2 or Turbo if he only saw it from the front... plus most non P-car owners don't know the difference between a NA and a Turbo front end anyhow.
It's okay though. He was "on his way to race some buddies". -You know how that's all legal and stuff. -I'm sure he was the more mature of the two.
My wife had me test drive some 350Z's for her a couple of years ago when she was pondering a replacement for her Volvo... I despised the plasticky and 'let's-pretend' feeling of the whole thing. -If you didn't get the 'track' version, your 350Z was a dog.

It's funny he's comparing a poor man's (anycar) to his own.
Rather be in a "poor man's" Porsche than a "Rich man's son"'s nissan haha.
Call it rich call it poor, I'll just keep calling it mine.

I "lost" to a ratted-out Prelude the other night. He was driving like an *** down a 50mph 3-lane road. I zipped around him pretty easily (no downshift... just eased into it and rolled around) and a few miles down the road we caught a light. Light goes green, he winds the motor up, dumps the clutch, and leaves the light in a spectacle of screeching Pep-Boys special tires, blue smoke, and loud farts. I turned the radio up and left the light at 800rpm and took my time getting up to the speed limit. He beat me by 15+ cars easy. I'm sure there's a post on some Honduh forum somewhere about how he beat me.

Have you driven a 350Z? A friend in college dominated our autox region in his.
Granted the post was 5+ years ago, nowadays 350Z are a poor mans Z car, they are cheap as hell!

My close friend's wife had the Infiniti version (the G37S coupe) which I drove a few times and you really can't go wrong with that car. Very, very impressive.

The downside of the 350 is that it is relatively heavy... and UGLY
If you shaved a few lbs off I bet it would be a pretty legit ride.
