Here in the US, that car was sold under the Merkur brand name and it comes with a turbo 4.

I've noticed that mny of our staff and members including myself love cars so I decided to start this thread. I'll post one of my favorite cars up every week and anyone else can post their favorite cars and we can talk about it. We may also talk about recent events like auto shows. I thought this was be pretty coll and hopefully be an success.

So at the moment, MY favorite car is the one I'm currently driving.

"2007 Nissan 350Z"

Hmmm... why haven't I seen this thread before?
Anyway, nice car! what are the specs on that? I drive a 2007 Ford Focus, got 34MPG on the highway with an automatic which is pretty impressive I'd think for an AT.

As for performance cars I'm still waiting for cars with allison turbine engines, but with all that power the turbine might end up being coughed up from the car.

its not really too fast, but the fact that only 50 were ever made... compared to the 400 Enzo's.

Were you talkin to me...???

Um ... It's nothing too fancy. Just the typical 2007 Nissan 350Z Enthusiast

3.5l VQ35HR V-6
306hp @ 6900rpm..(( IIRC ))
0-60 faster than your first sexual experience
2 seats -- 5 cupholders...(( why so many for a 2 seater ??? ))
Solar Orange Paint..(( Premium 1 year only color ))

When I first got it I was getting around 11 - 12 mpg....I've slowly improved myself to get 19 - 20 mpg now.

And I wouldn't mind trading it for that Orange Ascari KZ1 above this post.


Well....Maybe not....The Insurance on that thing would surely bancrupt me.

Well, I don't want any of the new/newer cars. I want my old car back, just can't afford to buy it back. I did find it though. It is a 1968 Chevy Nova SS.
Below is a picture of what my car look like with the exception to the color of the paint. Mine was solid white.



It had the same hood scoop and all. I spent a little over $9000 on the motor alone. Small block 350cc pushing out 580 horse power on gas alone. The motor was built to run NOS and I was going to put around 300 hp of NOS on it but never got the guts to do it.
Get this, it was a fully legal street car (except fo the motor horse power). I could take off from starting line and the front tires would lift 32 inchs off the ground; all on 9 inch wide slicks.

I want it back to put it back on the street only, no drag.

69 Chevy Nova SS 540ci supercharged Big Block Chevy | 1000hp\

this has been my dream car since i was 7yrs old, and saw a simular one at a show.

I don't have any of the pictures of or any of the cars I had growing up unfortunately, I would give anything to have even one of them back.

First car I owned was a 1955 Ford Crown Victoria with a T-Bird Engine in it. Next was a 1957 Chevy with a 327, 4 speed, drove this until 1968 when I bought a 1966 GTO, w/389. My final hot rod was a 1970 Roadrunner which came with a 383 c.i. engine which I thought was the greatest until I kept getting beat drag racing. I finally put a 426 c.i. Hemi in it with a B&M slapstick transmission, traction masters, and wheely bars because it would pull the front wheels off the ground.
