2004 6spd G35 Coupe vs. 300ZX Twin Turbo

There was a video somewhere done by Top Gear that showed a acceleration comparison and the 300zx won.

k, I might be wrong

Quick side by side:
- Both put down around the same HP, but obviously the coupe is NA
- 300zx wins with more torque
- They weigh about the same
- 0-60 for the 300zx is around 6.2 (mag times)
- Huge modding potential for the twin turbo (as with any turbo cars)

300ZX won but that was the 1/8 mile. Not the 1/4.

The G35 should handle a bit better due to improvements in chassis and have better amenities but the 300zx will be one of the best cars of all time. It still looks modern and the turbos can be modified quite easily.

300zx is more comparable to the Z i'm thinking. Its better to compare ours to the old i35's and j30's =D
