350Z Enthusist vs G35

[4001]

Well, the 350Z enthusaist model, which comes with the 6 spd manual stock list for $28K. To get a 6 spd G35 coupe, your looking at $33K. But for the 5K more , you get all the luxury and 2 extra seats. I'm going with the Z enthusaist model becuase it pretty much has everything you need: HID's, LSD etc....

You can get the 6MT in a G35 if you go with the sedan which is only 29K and it performed just as well as the coupe, if I can remeber correctly C/D did a test of the new 6MT on the sedan and it was just as fast as the coupe 6MT

G35 and put skyline badges on it... muahaha!

give it up- go with the rx8- way more impressive to drive, better weight distribution- I mean really- with my stock protege on the autox last weekend, they were only getting me by 8 seconds...(the 350's that is)

 

[4001]

make a RX8 comparison if you want but I was just asking what people thought between the G35 and 350Z

ive driven both and can tell you right now that they are both kick ass cars. the Z in my opinion is the better choice, but only do to the fact that it doesnt have all the usless luxury crap, for some reason i think the Z looks better in the front (not rear), and the Z has a noticeable power advantage. on the other hand you can actually see out of the G35(the Z has tall door panels and small windows)and if what i herd was true (i do here alot of BS rumors) the G35 sedan is going to have a AWD opion next year, and that would definetly add some points in my book.but thats just my opinion.....

Z all the way. if nothing else there is just something to being able to say " i drive a Z" in a few years no one will remember the g35 as much but the Z lives on.

Infinti already has the AWD G35 up on their website, its coming out...33k base

 

[AZDriftR]

wow thats the best G35 ive ever seen, no frills there. now i dont know which i like better

 

[b_real45]

G35 all the way. More refined interior, better styling outside imo. The Z actually looks cheap to me next to a G35.

g35

G35, need to haul the Family "and Plus i think it look's way better than the Z overall", I've seen One Z blue and one G35/Coupe Blue, and that's when i noticed that the G35 standed out more than the Z did. Also, If anyone is wondering which is Faster? which we know "who is" here is a comparison of the two. Http://www.car-videos.com/performance/view.asp?id1=272&id2=188 The Z is just a little bit quicker, but i'd still take the G35.

 

[Darin]

G35 has a 9" longer wheelbase & the better handling associated with that. They each look amazing in their own way. I'd probably take a G35, but I only like the steering wheel in the Z.

I was under the impression a shorter wheel base is more condusive to better handling - longer wheelbase for a better ride.

 

[night rider]

thats what i had heard as well about wheel bases, shorter and wider is always better thank long and thin.
