BAlford Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 My grandson and I dropped by and drove a 350z in Longview, Texas today. It had a 5 spd trans, do they have an optional auto trans? It was nice and responsive. My first impression is that it looked short. It is stif riding, but thats OK, it's a sportscar. I didn't like the stiffner in the back. Seems like they could have engineered that better. The engine compartment is full. Is some people thinking of putting a Chev 350, it'll be tight. The one I drove was priced at $31,000.00. They had another for $34,000.00 and it did not have the electronic device in the dash which the samesman said cost about $1,900.00. The salesman went with me and then let me take my grandsom, 14 yrs. for a ride. He was impressed. In my opinion the 240z is the best looking of the Z family. I prefer the 280ZX to drive because it is more comfortable. I have drived a 300z also but will still take the 280zx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Russ240z Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 I had a guy drive up in the new 350z to look at my 240z I have for sale. We took the 240 for a spin and upon return he said, fair is fair... and tossed me his keys! I said thanks and told him I woud settle for a ride. Nice, but too steep for my budget.

Mudge Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 The 350Z is supposed to be a 6 speed, or there is a 5 speed automatic option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAlford Posted January 24, 2003 Author Share Posted January 24, 2003 Russ did he offer to trade? 5 speed or 6 Speed You know it might have been 6 speed. But as I remember it had the gear patern on the top of the shifter and I think it was 6 positions and one was reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Hmm, maybe the 6 is only an option, I thought they all were 6s other than the auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
