Test drove a 350z today :)
I have been wanting one since i first saw one. I took out the a gun metal track edition, car looks great. the power is not there tho, from 5- redline u can feel the powerband but before that it has nothing for the 45k they were asking i want more power. if i can pick up a used one next year for like 22k + gruppe-s greddy turbo kit bye bye MY02.

Anyone else have any reviews?

The better question is, why the heck are you even looking at the markup tags???

I test drove one when they first came out. I wasnt impressed.

Nice looking, some potential in the engine, but totally impractical for me as a daily driver.

That's the same reason I didn't consider one when I was car shopping. I like that burnt orange, but I needed something I could drive in the winter.

Why even bother with the 350Z? The G35 coupe is way more comfy, AND it's the platform they will be releasing as the Skyline in the US. They already have the "intelligent AWD" available for the G35 coupe. Plus, it seats 4.

Well it may be 45k for the Nismo R tune or S tune not quite sure which one.

The reason I say that is I actually saw a random surfer looking guy driving an R Tune 350Z in traffic yesterday & it was VERY mean looking...

Absolutely. Looks way more sexy. The droopy "I dropped a load in my pants" butt of the Z just doesn't do it for me. Though I do like the upgraded rims on the Track Z...

P.s. for 45K pick up a cerified pre-owned one year old ZO6. It will not dissapoint.

Actually, you can get a 2002-2003 Z06 for about 33-38k. Uh, I'd rather have a z06 kthx.

Just wait until the C6 is out and the prices will drop even more. Can't wait.
