A 350Z is a Japanese Mustang, and drives like sitting in a bathtub.
"You're sitting so low you can't see the hood!" is a complaint short people make about the 350Z. What's a bathtub to some is a sink to others.

In my opinion, if you're trying to justify your life choices through material possesions, especially to arabs, you might as well just buy an appropiately priced/shaped Mercedes. Just be aware no one is going to be particularly impressed by any car in the $45K range, especially in someplace as rich as the Persian Gulf.
I think a 350Z will impress the right people enough, but I've better reasons for buying it. It costs me $10 for 70L (20 Gallons) of petrol; there are no enforced speed limits; I need to whip around water tankers at speed on the highway without freaking out; I'm (technically) single, don't have kids, and make 6 figures. Why should I not buy this car?
I'm not out to impress Sheikhs. Last month, I saw a silver coated Merc outside a restaurant I eat at. I don't mean silver coloured; I mean silver covered. It had two bodyguards - I guess to stop someone kicking off a side view mirror and making a dozen necklaces out of it.
Driving fast is one of the few pleasures Allah allows, so no where has fancier cars than the Middle East. Whatever you've seen, where ever you've seen it - you haven't seen shit. It also has the highest road fatality rates in the world :(
I don't care so much about 0-100. I just need lightning fast 0-30 for roundabouts, awesome handling at speed, and a shitload of airbags. |
