Default Nissan 350z Vs Ford Street Ka

A mate is looking at getting a 350z and I saw an imported roadster at an auction a couple weeks ago [altho he wants the GT pack hard top]. Something struck me about how familiar it looked





For those unsure, the top one is the Nissan

EVEN THE BACK

The UK spec GT's are definitely N/A aren't they Nath?

Seen a few pics of them on turbos

Definitely good spec if it is N/A 278bhp and 260 lb/ft

mind you, tis a 3.5 Litre

Get yoursells a nice Honda.

When people see you drive past they shout

"HEY you in the Honda! You look upwardly mobile, sexy and like you have a huge cock!"

At least I THINK that's what they say, I only ever heard them shout the last bit "COCK".

I'm sure there n/a as I didnt know they done a wurzled version (UK anyway)....

I've drove one & was quite impressed, but found the visiablity all round a bit cr4p ..reversing was a pain as well (well not literally but it was through choice ) ...

It's spooky.

Like Clarke Kent and Superman.

Or BoXXer and Nik Nak [you only 2 bullets left monsieur Bond]

You never see them together at the same time

Good spot Paddy!

I love the 350Z, coupe version, as I'm not a hairdresser, but I do think it could do with a spoiler of some description.
