cant c sht

 

no its not worth it the 300zx is an old car too many problems he wants too much for it. he should give u more money and his car

 

"You'll shoot your eye out, kid!"

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Don't do it! You've got a good economical car there that will be reliable, cheap to own/drive, and last for years.
I'm sorry that I don't know you, but twin-turbo anything + 16-year old = trouble. You feel like you have the world by the *****, but actually you don't have the maturity or (especially) the driving experience to control the faster cars.
And his is how much older than yours? A '94 with 95K miles is hammered and probably at the point where all kinds of **** is about to break/wear out. That car would likely be a bottomless money pit.

Why does he want to sell?? Why does he want your car??

 

dont do it

 

It'll take more money to keep the Z running than it would to make your Cobalt faster than it.

 

Trade new car for old car? No thankyou. 300ZX TT's require alot of maintnence too. A good friend of mine used to have two of them, both a TT and a non-turbo. Both equally sucked in terms of keeping them on the road and out of the driveway.

 

i dont no ma boy just bought a 300 zx n that think has not had a problem with it at all in fact i have n SS/Sc n ive acually had more problems them him since hes had the car.. it really all depends on how well the car was maintained! by the way my problems were my starter n blew my flex pipe some how.. but other than that i love ma SS.. its all ur choice man its up to u cuz eather way u ganna run into problems eventually... n i dont beat the **** out of ma car just throwin it out there

 

I was thinking of just buying his car and keeping my car as a daily driver wbt... And he wants my car cause it beat his new mugen four door SI

 

no dont do it unless he is willing to trade straight up with the si.

 

ya id say try to buy it as a project or something, keep the balt. its too nice

 

I personally don't like how the SI looks and or drives it feels to much like a toy... And its slower than my ss so why trade it LOl

And what kind of numbers do u think I can get outta it???

 

Do you know how to fix just about everything? It's nissan it's going to break or leak at that mileage. So I'd say no.

Now...are you sure your 2.4 is faster than his mugen si? Really? Really? I'm asking here.

 

well I'm pretty good wit cars for my age I go to a vocational school for automotive repair

 

If it wasn't a twin turbo i would say no, but since its a twin turbo, it would be a HELL YEAH! Even the N/A ones smoke balts. Fast. Fast. Basically if you think you are okay with putting money in it quite often then go for it. But there might be something wrong with it if he wants to trade his car for your balt. The 300zx is a machine to be reckoned with, so there might be something wrong with it.

 

and yes its faster I beat him from a 40 roll and got about one car on him from a dig

 

Are you retarded? You just got a new car. You don't need another one.

 

no I'm not retarded LOL I'm just exploring my options

 

SO YOU BEAT HIM? Whether its N/A or TT, if you beat him, the car is broke, don't do it.

 

hell naw don't do it

 

save your money dude

 

Man, those old TT Nissan 300's WERE nice cars, key word here is WERE. I am sure the car has had the **** bagged out of it. It's like an 88 Mustang GT 5.0...show me one that has not had the **** kicked out of it. They are few and far in between.

I'm with most others...don't do it.

EDIT: Here's a link some stats on the 300ZX...both NA and TT. Based on this, I think a standard SS/NA with an intake and a decent driver could make it a close race if it raced a NA 300ZX. Maybe the stats are garbage though.
