seriously, its not rocket science, either way i would go with an 06+ nicer features on both

Almost every aspect of the car hinges off the chassis; the suspension, styling, weight, braking. Its not a part you see when you compare the two cars superficially, but its what makes them nearly identical in many ways.

Just like a RSX and a 7g Civic share the same chassis, on the surface they are very different, but if you know what your talking about they are very similar.

^again, you are taking this technically, like i said the AVERAGE person isn't gonna care about its braking/ weight distribution on a turn or the suspension roll either, they are gonna want a car that is comfortable and useful plain and simple

when you compare a g35 and 350z the only thing you decide on is either you want 2 seats or 4 seats, that's it i don't know how to better explain it to you, most people in vancouver don't give a shit about that stuff, it just has to look good and be comfortable

and back on topic, either car the op chooses its a nice car, but definitely get an 06+ xenon headlights, led tail lights are the bigger difference among the years, also the auto's for the 06+ have down rev match technology and key less go and bluetooth

I would never buy a 2 seater if it were my only car! Performance wise meeh... unless you're planning to go tracking or Auto-X, all that extra power and performance isn't going to get your groceries any faster. Also, do you have a second car? I assume that you'll be getting a RWD model which won't get you anywhere when it snows.

Newer G35s and G37s are lookers. 350Z is too boy-racer for me. My summer DD is a 2 seater, can get inconvenient for sure. I'd go with the G35. You really can't go wrong either way, they're basically the same car.

Nothing needs to be explained to me, I know exactly what I'm saying and what your saying. You provided factually incorrect information, that the motor is the only thing they have in common, I corrected you. You continued to assume that no one cares about performance, that most people just care about the number of seats a car has, also incorrect. Someone who cares about performance will take braking, weight distribution and suspension role into consideration. If all the OP cared about was 2 seats or 4 seats I doubt he would have made this thread, I also doubt he would own a skyline.

I don't see any issue with a RWD car in the winter. People still managed to get around in the snow before FWD became the norm. With some experience and a set of snow tires, you'll be fine. Plus, there's an AWD G model if you're worried about winter driving.

a bag of sand (or rice) a good set of snow tires and away you go. some RWD cars have good weight distribution too.. shouldnt be too big of an issue in the snow.. my 944 was great in it.. as long as it didnt get too deep.

omg we JUST had the biggest debate about RWD and putting weight in the back like 2 weeks ago

ha.

Whenever I see a G35 it's usually a persian dude driving it... especially 370z these days... or 300c (Rolls Royce Phantom

)

350z usually driven by some white dude or asian guy most of the time.

If the average person is not going to care about the chassis, braking, weight distribution. and the engine is the only winning factor.

it seems like you want to suggest the OP to get an Altima Coupe or Maxima.

hmm. i know chinese guys that have their fair share of G coupes.. (and sedans)

1exotic · 01-02-2011, 10:40 PM

so you're calling me racist

tofu1413 · 01-02-2011, 10:46 PM

nope.

sharing what i've seen. guess its because we're both usually at different ends of town? and obviously meeting different people.

donjalapeno · 01-02-2011, 10:59 PM

k im persian and i have to say...

Rich persians drive
Bmw's
Benz
Lexus

Middle class persians drive
Honda
Toyota
Nissan

if you dont beleive me go to a persian concert and take a quick drive around the parking lot or better yet go to persia foods in north van and look at the cars parked. Very few drive Acura's and Infiniti's, persians look exacly like turkish and italians maybe your mistaking the drivers.

Jegz · 01-02-2011, 11:03 PM

G35 all the way. Looks more boss.

G-spec · 01-02-2011, 11:04 PM

^ ah fuck Soltaa, in that case I could definitely be mistaken for a middle class Persian, lol... even though I'm Eurasian of a Turkish descent

now 1exotic is gonna laugh at me when he sees me drive by in my G, thinking there go another middle class persian

Energy · 01-02-2011, 11:10 PM

Its funny how races are stereotyped by what kind of cars they drive haha. I usually see 350z and G35 driven by asian guys but maybe that's because I live in Richmond?

Between those two cars, I think the G35 is a bit more classy. Its lines and proportions are sleek and will age well.

1exotic · 01-02-2011, 11:22 PM

haha I was just joking... you guys think I'm serious.

just kinda my observations from people I've seen/know

chill bras.

MindBomber · 01-02-2011, 11:26 PM

Racial profiling base on make of car..

are you persian?

G-spec · 01-03-2011, 12:18 AM

^ nah bro, I'm moslem but like i said eurasian of turkish descent

MugenRevolution · 01-03-2011, 12:19 AM

G35 gets my vote, the extra seat is a plus

350z is more raw and more sportier (lighter)

flagella · 01-03-2011, 12:28 AM

this is totally a matter of whether you need backseat or not.

Stealthy · 01-03-2011, 01:11 AM

Say you get the 350z, in the long run you're going to want to switch to a more spacious vehicle anyway for convenience. Sure the Z is great but a two-seater can be troublesome. I personally prefer the G35 because it looks great and feels a lot more luxurious and spacious as others have stated. Might as well get the four seater now than later right?

i would sometimes have 1 in the back seat, but rarely 2.
the seats are made for chicks....guys don't bother.

to the OP, i had this dilemma as well. i went with the 2 extra seats...
the trunk space for the g35 still, it's not deep. but i'm still able to store 2 golf bags or 2 snowboards in there.
