Thanks guys, think i'm going to save some money and stick with my spec... on that note anbody want to buy an integra? lol j/k
I'll consider these bad boys again, no doubt.
Something else to think about is the cost of insurance. The G35 4 door will be waaaay lower than either the couple or the 350Z. Also it's not boxy at all. In fact its one of the most aerodynamic cars you can buy (both the 4 door and the coupe).

not intrested in the 4 door, i was looking at exclusivly the coupe or the Z.
My moving costs are going to put both out of my price range for a while, and i've taken a bigger lease than I would have if i had that car note.
Basicly I am planning to holf off until at least the start of '04 before i look again. I think i'll go with the G35 coupe based on the longer better warrenty and the 2 years of service. The Z just does'nt compare in that department.
According to Car and Driver(best performance testers, IMO) the 350Z Track Edition did 0-60mph in 5.4 sec. The G35 Sport Coupe did it in 5.5 sec. Now c'mon...really, for the luxury benefits of the G35, you don't lose much at all in the performance area. I'm guessing that there is a bigger difference in the handling department though. Personally, I'd go with the G35. It looks better to me anyway. Especially the taillights.
I think a wise think to do if blowing this kind of money is a big deal to you is to wait a few months until they will be for sale as used by private parties (and I don't mean the kind that jack up the price and try to make money on it).
You said yourself that you got to wait 100 days for one anyways.
The G35 is a sweet, sweet ride...
I love both vehicles, since I see them every night at work. But, my choice without a doubt, would be the G35. It's classier, and yet just as fast as the 350Z. (Factory, of course) The 350Z is for the single guy/girl with no children. The G35 is for the family guy, that still likes to go fast & look good.
The G35 has smoother lines all over the vehicle. The interior alone is awesome, especially with this:
But, I still love the 350Z, as well. For a sports car, it's simply awesome. Both cars were on the Edmund's top 10. The only 2 cars that made that list, from Nissan.

No. I don't stare. It's rude. But you can't help noticing someone staring when they won't let you over because they're too busy gawking and pointing. Damn G35s! If they wanted a Z...they shoulda just bought a Z!

LOL If a person is going to spend that kinda money, they might as well buy the best of Nissan. . .The Infiniti G35 Coupe. (It's part of the Skyline family in Japan) Of course the G35 is more expensive than the 350Z. Possibly because it has a few more ammentities?
Originally posted by NNA Seriously, does it get better than this?
... color wise... yea it gets better than "barf blue". I like the black or the dark grey. Having just dropped some money on Nismo, i think that (for now) I can put to rest my desire for the coupe.
I love the black. However, I have always loved royal blue vehicles. I own a blue Hardbody now. And, I'm considering leasing a Fairlady Z in the blue, as well. The silver is so boring to me. And the burnt oranage. . .Well, you get tired of seeing it at the plant all night long, with those Maxima's coming off the line. Not to mention the Murano & Z have it, as well.
