[s-cars] Advice needed- warning NAC heretical content inside

[Mark Strangways]

Looks like they took the driver out of that car.
Twin turbos sound great, has kinda an echo to a conversation Paul and I had 
even.

I think, IMHO, if I where going to get into a 350Z (which I just might) I 
would buy something a little bit used and toss a nice supercharger on it and 
a set of Porsche brakes( gets my German content in) and see how things go 
from there.

That GTR has all the things I don't want... paddle shifters, roll control, 
AWD etc. Sounds like it would be a TAD expensive for a 350Z with some go 
fast bits and body work.
Maybe there is more into than I looked at (quickly), so I reserve comment 
for later :-)
