Dah Car, Can Rally: 2003 Nissan 350Z
I’m a big fan of Nissan’s 350Z offering (launch in 2002) because it reversed some of the mass and complexity of 300ZX and returned the car to its original roots — handling and affordability. But…I’ve got to admit that I’ve always been a tad disappointed that Nissan never released a lifted Dakar Rally ready version of the Z, because that would have been awesome. Find this 2003 Nissan 350Z offered for $10,000 located in San Luis Obispo, CA. Tip from Sean S.

Only con is when at full turn the tires rub the inner fender
Other than that the car has no problems and I daily drive it. Like I said I love this car and it turns heads everywhere; I just am looking for something different.

Not my thing, but definitely cool/different. Doesn't seem like there's enough fender-to-tire clearance to me, but I bet it's a hoot to drive.
I would SOOOO repaint that in the same livery as used on the BRE Baja Z.
Plus Juan to that idea! Needs moar giant driving lights in the nose.
I can think of quite a few bendy gravel roads here in Iowa were I could sling this thing.
I wonder if one could take this to a race events where there is autoX and rally and do both with a quick tire change? sure would be fun.
I have yet to determine if automatic transmissions in sports cars are the cause or a symptom of the problem besmirching America, but I was very disappointed when I clicked on the interior photo.
Fun idea though, I've thought about doing a long travel suspension thing to a lot of cars I've owned. The problem is I've got ready access to many miles of pavement and maybe only a couple in gravel.
I want to retract this submission. I did not even notice it was an autotragic.
This car looks really good, I mean really muscular and sturdy. This seems to be very good bang for your bucks with these specifications. Thanks for sharing.
