Low 15 quarter mile I would have thought.

With a top speed of 150mph?

There not designed to be a street racing high performance car. They are a refined casual car. They perform well on the road (As in motorway driving) and can pick up speed well when running already.

If you want a sports car BMW, then you wont get any less than the M range.

u coulda paid for the petty it woulda cost, nad the car running well woulda done sub 5 as a stnadard uk with 235bhp has a 0-60 of 5.2 mine had near 300 and if tuned proper shoulda been near 350.
no i didnt, the standard 1/4's on the rx are mid 13's i believe so around that, can't imagine i'd be much quicker as i normall fuck the starts up.

300ZX isa a cracking buy. Can get a decent ish one for around £4k, manual too, sometimes targa top. Always loads in the auto trader.

I'd much prefer the 300 over the mitso 3000.

the petrol and costs to run the 3.0v6 Twin Turbo would be the same as the rx and pointless me selling it for one
plus insurance would be same

Nissan 200SX = Wicked fast car for not a lot of money.

Tourings are better, come with leather and sideskirts.

It'll be hard to find a car with great looks and great performance. U will have to sacrifice one.

Also, Sunny GTi-R, may be another orrible nissan interior, but stick fcuking fast motors!!!

yea thing is , if i'm gonna downgrade from the rx i may aswell downgrade to something with a bit of grunt but which costs me less which the bm will, all the 300zx's sunny gtir's will cost more on insurance and petrol

Sunny GTi-R won't be an insurance killer no will it drink half as much as teh 7. The reason it drinks so much is the way the engine is designed!

A 2.0litre turbo 4 pot will cost less to run and maintain than a straight 6 2.8 litre BMW or even 2.5!!!!

I'd suggest you sit down and think long and hard about what you can afford and research into it before buying another car.
