This is a 2006 Nissan 350Z that raced in the top GT500 rung of Japan’s SUPER GT touring car series. It’s like a regular 350Z, only completely different.
Photographers at motorsports events often seem to take a perverse delight from placing themselves in what looks like eminent car-induced peril. We’ve seen photographers hit by cars, seen them leap out of the way at he last minute, seen near scrapes, but this is the first time I think I’ve ever seen a car slap a…
Let’s be honest with ourselves, this car—a Nissan 350Z with four light bars, a lift kit, a black steel front bumper, big tires, deeply tinted windows and a large wing—checks every box a LaCrosse-playing, protein shake-drinking, boat shoe-wearing bro might want to check.

It's not that sports cars are necessarily fast. It's not like they're the only cars that can slide through turns. It's not like they're the be-all, end-all of performance driving. But there's something great about owning a sports car.
"The beer is supposed to be green, and we can't legally sell it" the bartender explains as he pours. This inevitably leads to me proving you can travel in the back of a Nissan 350Z and why I probably shouldn't.
In what the British media is calling a "guerrilla ad campaign," Nissan recently stickered a handful of its fleet cars with "kill" graphics signifying motorsport wins. The targets? Porsche, BMW, and Audi. Guess which one couldn't take a joke.
The Forum Wars is the show that puts two different nerdy forum posters car guys from different automotive forums to do battle on the track. Let's see if they can drive like they type.
You've read 10 billion bombastic claims on car forums, and it's all been pretty much meaningless… until now. "The Forum Wars" will take those claims and put them on the real-world race track. Check out the tire-smoking, smack-talking trailer!
Remember the 350Z seemingly ruined by a bodykit installed with woodscrews and bondo? A year and a full makeover later, Jalopnik reader Brian Gee now has a slick photoshoot to show off the Z he always wanted.
