If you ask me Vettes arent that great of a car the are way over*rated! they want 50 but only give you around 350hp id rather save up and go with the Dogde Viper that rocks 500+hp And isnt a common drivn car why because its more appreciative then a Vette or if you feel the need to buy sumthin like a viper save up and go with a Skyline those are rare (sorta)
I'd just use that 85K or so that I would have spent on a viper and make a 350Z or a used skyline 500 horsepower and totally custom. That'd be infinitely more rare than any production car if you modded it out.

Indeed it would be...i would nvr buy a viper in my life tho because if im going to spend money on sumthin like that then id rather put it in sumthin that will make it in magazines and hott car shows...sure a viper is nice but anybody can buy a plain jane viper but can you buy a 350z with the designs of people who have made great Z's n the past NO because its their own style and thats what makes it worth the money and viper is too flashy and its saying "loook world i bought sumthing just so i could drive it and yell...IMMM RICCHH Biatch"
im so drunk

Personally I purchased the 350Z because I feel it is an unmistakeable sports car. The average person will look at a 350Z and say "Nice Sports Car" and the same person will look at a G35coupe and say "Nice Luxury Car". I recently purchased my second 350Z and yes I considered and test drove the G35coupe, but the 350Z won out again. I had it to do all over again and I choose another 350Z. Actually my new 350Z costs more than a loaded G35coupe by $400.00. Not to mention local dealers had several G35coupes in stock, but I had to order my second Z and wait 4 freakin months, well worth the wait. I will admit it was easier to wait the 4 months since I had a 350Z to drive already.

Chris is the man wish I was that lucky to have 2 350Zs.
I dont know which I would take. I do know that I have sat in both and the Z definetly had a more sporty feel to the way you are sitting in the car. I love the way both look and both have the same drivetrain setups. I too have heard that the only difference was the exhaust system and that is where the 7hp difference comes from. I know that either one I would get I would be getting new exhuast on it as well. So that is a mute point to me. I owuld just put them both thu the paces and see which I liked more.
Until I have some money to afford a new car I will just be happy with my old 91 240sx. I think I could take the G35SC and the 350ZTM in a straight line or in the curves.

I'm probably wrong, but isn't the difference 27 horses? I thought the G35 put out 260 and the 350Z put out 287. I don't really remember though, that's just what ran in my mind...

the sedan has 260hp and the coupe has 280hp the Z has 287hp. So you are right but wrong at the same time.
[quote=F111A]If you need a backseat and a trunk, by all means buy a G35. I bought the Z for performance, and just plain looks. Every place I drive the Z, people stop and stare...this doesn't happen with a G. Next time you see a Z or a G, look at the people around it...if they stop and look, it will be the Z. The G (which is a fine vehicle) is more tame in looks and performance (maybe that should be sophisticated).
The Z has a heritage (5 generations), whereas the G is new. Lastly, how many forums and sites are devoted to the Z? How many for the G?
Please man. I own a G35 (Skyline V35) and I got more attention than all the 350Z's I encountered. I even had 350Z owners regret buying a 350Z. I have over night parts from Japan sent to me just for the G35. I have over 100 G's in the whole car and it looks and performs better than the 350Z will ever dream of. The back seats all U have to do is take out like I did. If you got the money for the G buy it and if you don't buy it any way. I mean they do have ones that cost as much as the 350Z. But don't change your mind just what other people say. Go with what you think and which one you like.
nothing personal, but i was wanting somebody who has a 350Z to tell me why they got it.
I fell in love with the Z cars in 1976 when I first saw the 280Z. I didn't have a car at all until I was 19 just before I got married. Cost and need for practical vehicles while the kids grew up kept me out until now. I looked around a little at various sport and sporty cars but it was really no contest. The Z is the dream car and I love driving my red 04 Roadster
may get girls to notice but if you need a 30-35G car to get girls then you ain't got no game and all that's showing that you have some money. My G is says who I am and I love for performance. Not how much money I have. The G has more performance than the 350Z but some people just can't see that. Plus, I been with my girl for five years and I was driving a old 280ZX with the paint chipped and coming off. Water inside the car after it rained and a sorry ass engine that was shit. I still have the car to and my girl. Now that's game.
