    To give credit where credit is due, the cinematic undertones were all made possible by the excellent work of editor György Szeljak. See more of his work here:

    Old V8 deep rumble--sort of like a giant cat purr, heavy on the bass.

    I hear a Supra Turbo is good for catching some 2JZ's.

    Then again, the Supra comes implanted with some 2JZ's already, and all you gotta do is chase some Z's (300ZX)

    Apparantly my parents' '85 Sunbird had the same effect. So much for building excitement.

    I was never a fan of the exhaust note on any of the VQ varients. While the G35 was better than the the 350, it still imo such an annoying sound. If i ever bought one, that exhaust system would've been the first to go, especially if it was on the Murano or FX. But then again, I'm baised on the subject as I prefer V8's.

    @Bullitt417: That's about right, actually. My dad, before his C6, had a G35 sedan. The exhaust note wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great, and it was always there. Full throttle or cruising at 1500 rpm, you are going to hear that VQ drone, and that's really not something a four-door luxury car should do.

    @strllng plyr: The droniest cars I've ever been in have all been rotaries with aftermarket exhausts. I'm not sure if that's a function of the engine or the exhaust choices, though, since I haven't heard very many stock.

    Supposedly the old four cylinder diesel rabbit had such an effect. Except the problem was if you reach an exact harmonic frequency your head would explode.

    Here is how: Have your kids drive a Corvette (even a C5 will do) then have them drive the Z.


    It will put them out like a light.

    @zeeboid: Why on earth would you buy your kid a 16k anything, let alone a Corvette? Unless you want us all reading about him on Jalopnik when he meets a spectacularly fiery demise.


    The Volvo DL was invented for teens drivers: cheap, slow, and built like a tank.

    @ConnorW: Some parents just want to be done with paying at the beginning. My first car was a $5k used Camry and my sister's an $11k used CR-V, both of which had little niggles that needed fixing (I was kind of annoying about it and my sister's transmission was slipping, which is dangerous), so they just bought us cars with warranties.

    @strllng plyr: my first car was a 77 cuttlas Salon with a 350 rocket. total cost of the car, including a new alternator when it went out was around 500 bucks, and I drove it for years.


    there is NO REASON to buy a kid a new car, and no matter what happens, a used $3500 car is cheeper then a new 16k car. done. do you know how many trannies you could replace with the 12500 you save?


    more then 6.


    Even a a little bit of automotive know-how is more valuable then ANY warranty.

    @zeeboid: You're missing my point. It's not the cost of transmission replacement, it's the bother of going through it at all. My dad's first car was also a Cutlass, early-'70s or before, that netted 4 miles per gallon. If he doesn't want his kids to live through that, he doesn't have to.

    I was going to make a comment about the 350Z being yawn inducing, but I wouldn't kick it out of bed.

    @engineerd: While the 370z is the better of the two "new" Zs, the 350 was still a fairly capable sportscoupe when equipped properly. And the late-year revision for teh 3.7 made it even more fun.


    The 350z, like everything from japan, was great to START from and build what you wanted from it.


    The NISMO variant was a blast, though.

    @How Wankelin' Got His Sig Back: Exactly. I think my biggest issue was the cost for performance seemed a bit out of whack. Ignoring that, though, the car was a decent performer and, as you pointed out, a great starting point. I also thought that it at least looked different enough from most everything else (except the TT, maybe) that at least people knew when you were coming.

    Pete, I know you're (not at all) new, here. So lemme s'plain. You say "18-month old cutie" round these parts and you're gonna get a LOT of commenters in trouble with the terms of their parole. Y'dig?
