Here's my Pearl White 3.5SE that I obtained late November October 2003. Yes I know you guys that know me, knew I was looking into purchasing a Pantera. But since I commute, I wanted to get a good mix of size, performance, and style. Other contenders were the Infinity G35 Sedan, or the Audi A4 1.8T. For just under $25k, I got myself a car with 245 horsepower that propels you from 0-60 in 5.95 seconds and pulls the quarter mile in 14.46 seconds @ 98.6 mph STOCK (data derived from Motor Trend, Feb. 2003, Vol 55, No.2 Issue). Another major plus is this car has the same VQ35DE engine that also powers the new 350Z, Infinity G35, Maxima, Murano and other Nissan models. Extremely potent for future modifications. Paying $23K for a new car I think is cheaper then restoring my SHO, so I bought this new to replace it, since my SHO had 286K miles on it. I had no problems with it. I miss the torque that the SHO put out.
