I would suggest looking into the infiniti G35 Coupe. Yes it is basically the same car, but from what I have read, the G35 coupe's ride is not as rough. And I like the styling better on the G35 coupe.

Here's my take since the OP never responded to my post:
1) G35 coupe if you want luxury/backseat/trunk. Essentially the same car, but expect to pay over $6000 more for a 6speed versus a 6speed Z (Enthusiast Model).
2) My '04 Z has 3 rattles right now. 2 in the dash, 1 in the rearview mirror. I'm a picky guy and it bothers me to no end.
3) the engine is awesome. it's my daily driver and M-F there's traffic going to work. I can't WAIT until the weekend to strech her legs out.
4) there are more G35 than Z's in a bay area if you care about that stuff.
5) She's a porker. 3,200 lbs according to nissanusa
6) 23 mpg average

I think it's the latest issue of motor trend or some other car magazine that compares the 350z to the new mustang, which car do you think they liked best?

I own them every once in a while. For some reason the owners think it is a fast car.

You wouldn't own this one.

Why? Specs?

The only thing that would limit me against most 350s with aftermartket TTs is traction which I'm working on. If those are stock internals he is only going to safely run about 8 psi. Even then it may need tranny work to handle the torque. That would be around 410hp at the wheels. I'm close and my car is 500 pounds lighter. If someone did it right yes I would get smoked but the pics don't tell me much.

Damn, they gave the 'stang a 10?!?...and here I thought that their writers were nothing but a bunch of domestic bashing - import whores. Maybe that was Car and Driver I'm thinking of :D

no I don't think it's the one, it was 350z vs new mustang head to head only, no other cars

by the way they liked both cars, but liked the mustang more
they considered both a good buy
