I'm trying to get a read on why people bought a G35 Coupe as opposed to a Z? Especially when people are modding their G's with Z shocks/springs?

The G isn't that much more luxurious than the Z and in many respects the Z outhandles the G.

 

Seats, luxury and popularity (less quantities out there than Z's)

 

Okay take it from me. I own the G35- And My sister has the 350Z.

I like the G for estetics personally- The interior is much nicer than the 350Z. I think it would be hard for the Z to out handle a G considering the G has better latteral numbers. And sorry, numbers don't lie.

Don't get me wrong, The Z is a fun car. But not as comfortable- or (to me) esteticlly pleaseing. And those are NOT worth the small preformance upgrade that could be easily taken away by an intake.

For some reason Infiniti made the Coupe an inch higher than the Z's. Personally- I don't mind, Living where I do (florida) for some reason theres a lot of dips dives and speed bumps, the first time i took my sisters Z out, I got a nice beauty scratch on the front bumper.

Don't be afraid to search, plunty of threads on this.

 

I was considering Z as well, but the main reasons why I chose the G are:
-extra 2 seats in the G
-high risk of tire feathering on the Z

 

(i) The G has a longer and wider stance which really helps with overall stability on the road. The Z had been criicized by car mags that it is too ubnstable/twitchy on the edge due to its short narrow wheelbase.


(ii) the +2 seats help. Something will always come up that will require you to have 2 extra passengers.

(iii) the +2 seats are supposed to decrease your insurance payment too.

(iv) the g just looks better imo

(v) to get a z with similar features as the G 6spd coupe you will have to pay about the same money

 

Back seat
Better looks
More apointments
Less Common
Better service at Infiniti than at Nissan

 

^ Longer wrranty period and the loaner car program through Infiniti are added pluses.

 

And more class, you can pull up in a G35 in a business deal, going out on a date, racing, or a nice evening in the city.

 

I love the Z and want the Z, but I need the back seat (daughter). So... I had to go with the G.

 

Yeah, looks is probably the reason I got the G35 Coupe over the Z.

Something about that backside of the Z just doesn't work for me ... and that front fascia with the yellow strip down the side looks kinda tacky.

 

i dont like the tail lights too much on the z.. and plus i cant live with 2 seats i need those extra 2 =)

 

G's have a nicer interior.

Backseat is a plus even if you don't have anyone to put back there. Two seat car is cramped.

Usually you can get Z shocks and springs for cheap because Z's are selling them after buying a new set. But that is not always the case.

Some of us like the looks of the G more than the Z. Vise versa.

All comes down to what YOU like really. I was looking at Z's first but always wanted a G more. Was looking at the Z's because they were slightly less expensive.

 

I agree. G35 has a much much better interior. However the 350Z will handle better, drive faster, etc.

Infiniti made the Coupe higher because it is not a pure sports coupe. It is luxury/sports coupe.

 

G35C's are much better looking than 350Z' to me.
that's all. plus, 350Z's aren't that fast off the line vs
Evo8's and STI's....what kind of a "sports car" is that?

Get the twinturbo's out, then we'll talk.
