350Z vs G35 Coupe Which?

[SilverRex]

I've noticed we talked about the 350z and G35 coupes in alot of post and everyone has a different idea of which is better. so what the H*** lets open it up for discussion.

aah the 350Z

3.5L V6 287 Hp/ 274 lb torque
0-60 5.6 sec, 5.4 track model
1/4 mile 14.3
top speed 155 mph
skidpad 0.89

[SilverRex]

350z

[SilverRex]

Infiniti G35 coupe

3.5L V6 280hp/ 270lb torque

0-60 6.1 sec
1/4 mile 14.6 sec

top speed 155 mph
skidpad 0.92 g

[buh_buh]

I like the exterior styling of the G35 more.
And although the 350Z just came out, its already been played out. All I hear now is "350Z this, 350Z that". I'm already sick of the car.

[SilverRex]

personally I'll take a white G35 coupe.. my bro wants a skyline blue =]

[lammer]

i'd hit the 350z.

SilverRex, you have to specify what these cars are better for. Their intended use, that is. Then one can try and decide which is better.

I'm pretty sure intended use is for street driving since we don't do much rally here.

your right but the problem is, ppl wont buy these car just for the tracks.

however the dilema, even though everyone knows the 350z is meant for the tracks, the G35 coupe has better handling so what do you do?

I think we have a winner :clap:

[Heep]

G35 Coupe for me.

It's pimper, rarer, classier, more features, and basically just as fast. I like the styling a bit better, looks a bit more bling.

IMO.

I think we have a winner :clap: the g35 doesnt handle better than the 350z u knob. it has softer suspension, its WAY heavier, and its got a longer wheelbase.

just because you happened to find a skidpad # thats higher for the g35 than the 350z doesnt mean it handles better. are the #s from the same source? were the tests performed in the same conditions? and even if they were, the term "handling" encompasses far more than a cars roadholding ability.

maybe u have a point but over all, it all depends on what ppl want. a steal at the price to be able to drive something as high end as the coupe. you feel like a million bucks. after all even if the 350z waz better, its not far better by a long shot.

I would pick the car that is least popular on the street, the 350z is selling hot cakes.. time to be a little different and opt for the coupe baby..

as for the overall car, im pretty undecided...the 350z's interior leaves something to be desired for 45 grand...whereas the g35c's interior is topnotch.

[max_boost]

Definitely the 350Z!!

I don't think 350Z's are played out, that is purely subjected to personal opinion. Nissan did a fantastic job marketing this car, like most new cars there is such a high initial demand. We will wait and see if this demand subsides a little bit a year from now.

A white 350Z coupe would be so sweet but I think a Hamann 330 Cab would be even more sweeter

[max_boost]

How long is the wait for G35 Coupe?

im not too sure but I waz at the dealer on sunday and they dun have any coupe in the lot except for the demo car. my guess is 6 months just like when the s2000 came out.. anymore than 6 months ppl kant wait and buy something else.. ya.. =]

[treg50]

I vote: I LOVE BOTH.

Where's that friggin' choice in the poll up top?

Anywho, I really hope Nissan/Infiniti does well for themselves again, it seemed like they fell off map for a while. Their new line-up looks awesome. Lots much Honda and Toyota going on these days, the roads are looking boring even the modded cars. It's time for some Nissan action. Can't wait for the Murano and Mazda 6.
:thumbsup: :burnout:

you missed a very important thing....the price difference

[RiceCake]

Hmm... I don't really think the 350Z is getting played out yet. I mean sure, there's a lot of talk about it, but which anticipated sports car didn't get that upon release?

I like the 350 Z a lot, yet the last few days driving around town, I've spotted quite a few G35 coupes as well and damn they are pimp.

I guess it depends on what you want out of your car. Personally I would pick the 350Z, heh already seeing aftermarket goodies and yeah, that track package looks :thumbsup:

[gpomp]

G35 looks better IMO from the pictures that I've seen...

[RiCE-DaDDy]

infiniti has everything the 350 has and more

[GTS Jeff]

[Stratus_Power]

i think the 350z is more on the sporty side while the G35 is on the luxury side

[lilboykorea]

i sat in both... the g35 is alot better inside... i didnt like the 350zs interior...and performance wise im sure g35 is good enough for normal day to day driving...

[speedy2991]

which is better in interior the 350z or the g35

[/////AMG]

Holy old thread!!

[Proyecto2000]

old thread, but I would take G35 cuz its more luxury and G35=Skyline

[Sorath]

i thought g35s were 260hp?

[heavyD]

I've driven in the G35 and while I haven't driven in a 350Z I think it's a no brainer to go with the G35.

A) It will hold its value better even though they share most parts because it's an Infinity.
B) Performance is very close between the two.
C) Most prefer the styling of the G35 (especially from the rear)
D) The G35 has a nicer interior.

The only reason to take a 350Z would be that you actually prefer its exterior which is a personal taste thing. Otherwise you would have to be pretty short on the brain cell count.

In Japan the Skyline is the G35 (we get here) plus some of the usual goodies that never make it to North America.

2005 6spd G35s are 298hp. Auto is 280

I believe the 2003s were 280hp with the 6spd and 260 with the auto.

[iceburns288]

The G35 is a no-brainer, even though it's an old thread. Performance isn't everything, and the G35 is a pretty quick car anyways. The interior and ride quality are probably eleventy billion times better. I'd take a G35.:dunno:

[Canaduh]

it is an old thread, but from experience driving both, the G coupe hands down. That car has class written all over it and yet when you get on the gas it goes........ resale will always be there just because someone who has to have a car to be "someone" will always go for an Infiniti over a Nissan, that and a friend of mine has a 91 Mustang GT with almost nothing done to it and he raped the living hell out of our other friends 350..:eek:

[InfiniteJoy]

g35.

[91VTEG]

350z:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

sadly he would never get to use the shocker as he only gets himself in the back seat.

G35 gets my vote because im a fan of the luxury style and options, plus its almost as fast

[calgary350z]

i would have to say 350z:thumbsup:

[speedy2991]

according to this website:http://us.nissan.clientsites.carspecs.jato.com/us.nissan/comparison.asp?category=all&screen=brochure&guid=FA2703E139324CF0B0276899BF79E5F4 , the 350z is better

According to that site, the 350Z is better than the Porsche Carrera :rofl:

[euro_racer]

mmmmmm porsche carrera:drool: :drool: :drool:

[Canaduh]

a 350 Z or a carerra..hmmmm tough call but I would have to take the porsche for obvious reasons

:rofl:

[alky1987]

350z has a better looking exterior. with the copper option its out of this world. the g35 coupe is also a nice car but is more towards the luxury side rather than the sporty side. overall, personally i would take the 350z but thats just my preference

Why would you spend $2300 more for an special aniversary 350Z with 2 extra hp when you can get the infinity and it's better resale value, better looks, and back seats.

[TEG_G2]

My vote is the G35 :bigpimp:

[asp integra]

g35 is more luxury sport, where as 350z is just sport, if u want more comfort go g35

[BokCh0y]

g35. classier. :thumbsup:

i wouldn't spend extra for the aniversery edition, but i would for the track edition, after all, everyone refers to the 350z as "track only," with only 30% ment for the road, and the rest, for the track

[speedy2991]

btw, if toyota is made from japan, and porsche is made from germany, then were is nissan made?:confused:

[gggunit]

G35 .. and no bias on my end.

You do know that any country have multiple manufacturers. Nissan is japanese too, just without the japanese reliability.

[djayz]

g35 hands down...good looks good performance...just slap a nice set of rims on and itll look hot

omg then if porsche is from germany where is bmw from? or mercedes benz?:rolleyes:

next to reviving a 2 year old thread, that statement was probably one of top not so bright things i've seen in a while. Really makes me mad that some women still drink during their pregnancy.:banghead:

[Mokre]

G35 couple doesn't come with a manual unless you get the M6 version, which is actually 298 hp, 280 lb-ft, or something like that.

Still, it looks better.

[speedy2991]

does http://www.ultimatez.com/i/350zexhaust.mov this exhaust come standard on a 350z:confused:

[dmtx]

G35! Very nice handling.... classy....

[YamaLube]

What the hell are you doing dmtx, you got signed onto the site so you just pulled up some random old post and replied, this thread is like three years old, with the last post from april, brutal........
