I dont have a Z28, but thanks…
and we were talking about Nissan in general?
have you ever sat/ridden in a Jag? My girlfriends mom had one and the interior and ride ability was amazing…Ford makes that.
every company has its strengths and weakness’s. Why ford brought back the SHO is beyond me.

We are talking about Nissan vs Ford in general, sure. This all started when I said I’d rather have an M45 with a reliable Nissan engine as opposed to this new SHO. Don’t know why that got all of you American fan boys panties’ up in a bunch lol.
I have sat in a Jag. Never ridden in one though. And the one I sat in was disgusting. Granted my boss (when I detailed cars) bought it as a fixer upper. I won’t judge Jags because of that.
From what I have seen posted on various forums, etc. is that Range Rover and Jaquar are two expensive brands that break down A LOT and aren’t worth the money. I will say that the current Range Rover SUV is flippen GORGEOUS, but from what I’ve heard, it’s a big POS.

my girlfriends moms was a 05 Jag with the 3.0 V6…super nice car. AWD
My ex girlfriend has a 07 Range Rover HSE. That thing is amazing as well.

That’s what I heard. Just sayin. Haven’t experienced either one. _shrugs_
Anyway…back to the SHO. Not worth it. Doesn’t even look appealing to me. That’s my opinion and I’m stickin to it :).

factory twanks!!! \>:rofl imo this car is overpriced and overweight. power sounds nice but at 4400lbs it needs it to “get the fuck out of its own way” :haha if I had to spend 45k on a ford it for sure wouldnt be this.

1. 335hp is ALOT?? :rofl
2. Why is it fail, is it fail to try to compete in a market with your product? Why isnt it fail when the other cars that are out there are doing it?
3. Ford has come a LONG way in quality, and reliability, and are acutally rated at a HIGER quality than Toyota right now. Dont just post usless nonsense because your an import fanboi.

Guess you want to keep the debate going. I oblige.
1. I have 190hp and for a daily driver and normal person, 190 is MORE than enough.
2. It’s fail because they are over charging by a LOT for a product that you can get from elsewhere for the same price that has a HISTORY of being good. Brand recognition goes a long way in times like this. Take a marketing class at HVCC. You’ll see what I’m talking about. If this car was going for 25k, it wouldn’t be a fail. But that fact that it is 45k is absurd.
3. Again, did you read my posts? I am a fan of CARS. I gave the Z06 credit. I gave all American trucks credit. Because Europe and Japan put out like 60 great cars combined, and America doesn’t put out more than 6 or 7 (currently speaking - last few years), and me stating that…does NOT make me an import fan boy. It’s just how it is. You are the fan boy because you are too blind to realize it and can only say that,
“Well…well…some of us don’t want quality! We just want power! There! Take that!”
Give it a rest. Generally speaking…(I’m sure American cars have some pro’s over others such as raw power but generally speaking)…Non-American cars \> American cars. End of story.
