If this is your second car and you dont need it to be practical. I'd say get a s2k over the z. better handling, better looking, both vq and f20c have a lot of potential but i like to stay with 4 bangers

 

I have a civic and a 240sx. I like driving my 240 more because of the torque. And the vq engine has more torque and hp than the f20c. S2ks pull about 189hp/ 134lbs or torque stock on the dyno. I know that a vq engine will pull more than that. I do like them both but for dd g35/350z would be my choice.
I can't wait to drop in a v6 in my 240...

 

Get a used '01 or '02 BMW M coupe and smoke all the above mentioned cars for around the same price. Same 333hp engine as the E46 M3 in a lighter, stiffer, better handling chassis.

 

get the g35 6MT coupe


that car is nice.

 

Buy my Z.

 

The 350 stock has more hp and more torque than a stock wrx. If you are slightly modded and you are on the freeway you can hang with the 350z until you put it in 5th gear and then he's got the additional 6th gear and will pull.

So if you are talking stock for stock the 350 has more power and more torque, and it comes on plenty fast IMO. My friend has one, I've ridden in it and also had some fun with one on the freeway on the way back from Buttonwillow a couple of years ago in my wagon (which at the time was about 190whp).

IMO they look fine and I wouldn't mind having one for fun on the track and rwd.

 

Its garbage. I test drove one, it really doesnt make much sense. Its not exiting to drive, its got ZERO practicality, and its way too heavy...

Sure it looks good, but you might as well buy a new Eclipse or something if thats what you care about.

 

+1 hehe... sounds good to me

 

get a g35c 6mt , but then again i'm a little biased

 

One of the engineers that work with me, or used to rather, had an M - not the hardtop the convertable. I like the hardtop better, it drives well, good power even with a passenger and it handles well, but the seats are really small. I found them very uncomfortable after 45 mins or so, my butt is just too big for them

 

I'm not trading in my WRX, and keep your hands off my long block!

 

I think off the line with a perfect launch the wagon will get the jump. But on the freeway,...the wagon doesn't have a chance. The Z just puts down more tourqe. Of course, who drives a stock WRX anymore? WRX is very mod friendly. The STI can be turned into an evil wicked beast.

The Z is an awesome track car....stock. With a few mods, it can hang with anything.

Unfortunately Nissan insists on not selling them with a turbo engine. So if you're looking to boost power, plan on spending a massive amount of money.

Personally, I love the way the Z looks. I also really like the exhaust note with some of the after market kits. I won't buy one though. It's too slow in a straight line for what you're paying and I'm not about to go out and buy a $7K turbo kit that might blow my engine up.

 

working a capital nissan and driving it around almost everyday i think can say i hate that car... it feels lazy. you can't see anything out of the windows. you sit too low. its a heavy car. it cramped. its a ***** to get in and out of, when u try and sit down you land on the metal frame rod in the seat, and you will slam you leg into the vent on the door at least once.... i hate it.

 

That's the kind of feedback I was looking for, someone who has to live with one every day...

thanks, it does look good, but I'll pass it by

 

rx-8?
