Picked her up just hours ago with 15km on the odo! (Not 15,000... 15!)

Thanks to all who helped me decide to get the 6MT instead of the 5AT. The 5AT is a great gearbox, but I realized that after owning a 6MT 350Z I'd definitely need to "row my own".

The trip home was a treat... even showed a punk in a Neon that was tailgating me what a proper RWD setup can do to a low-speed 90° turn (as he pushed wide and I cut it hard and clean).

Here she is... black on graphite... 35% tint on the sides and back windows... fully loaded less Navi:

 

Nice choice, I know after a year of having mine I have no regrets at all. Hope to see you at the next meet.

 

Nice car! I am actually thinking of doing the opposite... trade Sedan in for 350z!

What's your opinion of the G35 sedan vs 350z?

 

Congrats

 

You bought the the car they only way the should come... Black with a MT.

Congrats you are now the proud owner of a bad @$$ 4 door sports car.

 

Very nice. Enjoy!

 

WTF...how can you compare the two? two different cars...what's your opinion on a honda accord VS a porsche 911 carrera S? ...

great car...enjoy it!

 

They're not that different, both cars are built on a similar chassis and both have a similar motor.

Congrats on the new ride.

 

A great day in the T-dot to p/u a new ride
Congrats 350Zed.. hope to see you out at the next GTA meet.

 

well... if you read his signature you would be able to determine that he used to own a Z.... I was simply asking him HIS OPINION, based on his personal experience, whether the trade from a sportier car to the sedan was worth it.

and anyway... enlighten me on how much of a difference a G35 is to a 350z other then passenger/trunk space, carbon fiber driveshaft, and an extra pair of doors....

 

Don't be such a turd.

They are amazingly similar, which is why I bought the G35 as a direct replacement for the Z.

 

Looks identical to mine, except mine is 05, is automatic and now has a few mods! ;-)
Congrats. You'll love it.

 

Congrats on the new G . Enjoy .

 

Reasons I like the Z better:
- faster (marginally)
- better handling (but again, surprisingly close)
- better drivetrain (the flywheel seemed much lighter, but that could be the driveshaft and other factors at play)
- better steering (more direct, better turn-in)
- better seats and better driving position (lower, closer to the road)
- better looking (much more of a head-turner)
- more exclusive (G35s, both sedans and coupes, are much more common here)

Reasons I like the G better:
- MUCH more practical (the Z was so lacking in space it drove me nuts)
- less harsh of a ride (the Z was pretty jarring)
- cheaper (believe it or not, I paid $4K less for my fully-loaded G vs. my '03 305Z Track)
- and last but certainly not least... more wife/family friendly!

I really loved the Z... take a G and sacrifice luxury for raw performance and you get one helluva ride! If you're planning to reverse what I did--go from G to Z--you will NOT be disappointed (just as I am not disappointed going from Z to G)!

 

It certainly was... I had a lovely ride home from the dealer on a gridlocked 401.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for the next meet.

Any recommendations on a dealer for service? I'm in East York, but I bought my G from 401-Dixie Infiniti (props to Justin up there for a great buying experience). It's a bit far for service, though, but I hear Yorkville Infiniti is pretty poor.
