350z is a 3.5 V6 with no turbos, but still quicker than a Sunny
Those quotes seem very cheap (as in too cheap) I'm not doubting you Tom but it wouldn't be the first time that a quote given over the phone was reneged on.

i thought it was too cheap as well , this was all through a company called flexibell, ill get them back up tonight at somepoint and take some screenies so that you can see the details i put in , block out all the stuff that could give away my secret underground hideout,
something i did notice though is the proce changed a great deal on how much the car is worth. It seemed to lower the premium if the car cost more

You must be stoned mate :lol:
It always used to be tiered so that it was one factor as a multiplier up to 10k, another to 20k, 30k etc
That was a few years ago mind, but no way can it get cheaper the higher the risk. That would make my Pagani cheaper than the Golf

Along with Ncap ratings for driver/passenger safety and pedstrian safety.
The biggest part of insurance payouts now is based around personal injury claims.
Safer the car lower the insurance.

Also - if a particular model is crashed more often the insurance goes up - so companies have stopped insuring hondas as so many get smashed.
