Message a friend is returning it and is planning on getting a 350Z in it's place. so he let me "tear it up". the car revs real nicely up to 8k. during normal driving i found myself at 4k. in a straight line its acceleration isn't as good as a TT but it seems faster than an NA Z. the main thing i noticed was how light the car was. it is very apparent in the steering and the braking. steering is responsive and the turning radius is amazing. i was able to make a u-turn on a two lane road with no problems (the Z would have a hell-of-a time doing that). the interior is roomy, espcially the back seats. there is a ton of room back there (compared to the Z 2+2). trunk space is nice since they don't offer a spare (or my friend didn't get one as an option). they give you a kit with patches and a compressor (or a fix-a-flat since i didn't actually get to look inside the dinky kit). okay... that's all folks.
