[QUOTE=Wdwrd_cruzr,Mar 1 2006, 02:35 PM] I had a 2003 350Z DB touring. I was also looking at the G35 coupe before my purchase of the Z. I went with the Z and regret not getting the G35. I have since sold my 350Z and I am looking into getting another s2k, an ap2 this time. Actually, I ultimately regret selling the s in the first place

350s are everywhere. Like a Mustang, a Japanese Mustang.
The G35 still looks classy.
depends where you live. In CT I see lots of G35 coupes, but rarely a 350Z.

If you want something comfortable and practical, get the G35c. If you want something fun.... get an S2000!!!!


sorry, couldn't resist

i chose the G35 over the Z because of the following:
- back seat
- longer warranty
- better dealers (including loaner car program)
- more gadgets and do-dads
- performance is almost comparable
- nearly the same price (if you compare it to touring or track model Zs)


Plus IMO the G coupe looks better and (I think) they're within a hundred pounds (or so) and the G has a trunk and a small back seat.

For a DD I think I'd rather have the G35 or 330Ci (when it comes out) and keep my S2000 as my sports car.

since we're in this price range, have u considered an Evo? better performance than both cars, more doors/seats than both cars, and also more versatile in different weathers. Not sure if u guys up in canada can get Evo's now, but if not, an STi would be a good choice too. just my 2 cents.

btwn the G and the Z....i'd take the G. performance is too close for me to want to give up 2 seats and a trunk, not to mention the absolutely gorgeous tail lights on the G good luck with ur decision and let us know which car u end up with at the end (s2k, G, Z, Evo/STi)

I would go with the 350z, uncle has one and they are a lot of fun. I havnt driven the g35 yet but i hear it is a dog. (speed wise) The g35 is cool though and it has a lot more luxuries. Goog luck

People are funny spreading mis-imformation.

The G35 coupe and the 350Z are like 2 peas in a pod. They're just about the same weight and power.

The G35 coupe tests about the same acceleration as a 350Z.

Maybe it's not quick, but it's not a dog either.

Even though I think the G35 is played out, I agree

it's not much slower than the S2000.
