While picking up my car (see 'good service'

Drove a 6-speed 350z while I was
picking up my baby today (see other post below) and quite frankly, I admit I'm getting old....I did not like it one bit. Sure, it runs like a bat outa hell but, man...is it uncomfortable to drive...way, WAY too stiffly sprung...like a damn go-kart on steroids. And the clutch is more like an on/off switch than a progressive engagement device...yuck.
I enjoyed driving my Max home more than I have enjoyed it in a looooong time...

Yeah, it's plenty faster, remember, I have
an '01 but that said, there would be NO WAY I would want this car. Apart from the hideously rough ride -MUCH worse than -say- a Boxster or a Honda S2000 which would be comparable two-seaters- the driving position is too low for me even with the seat all the way up so it feels like you're peeking out of a gun turret, the handbrake is not well positioned to use frequently -as when u have to hold the car on a hill while a light turns green and other things.
I would take the Infiniti G35 Coupe over the Z without question. Maybe a tad slower but I just would not put up with the loss in refinement versus our Maxes
