I am drooling at the 350Zs I saw today

At work today, we had a special unveling of the new 350Z. Two models were shown, featuring the oh-so-yummy blue and the maroon-ish (I think it was called brick) color.

All I can say is, YUMMY! You should expect official info in August's car magazines (sells in July). Specs will officially be out July 3rd I believe, around the time it goes on sale.

I'm sorry, I can't give out any specs, I think I'll be grateful to have seen it and let people wait for another 2 weeks for the specs.

Heheh, if you thought your Max rode low ...

Did you remember to wipe your drool off the 350Z? Maybe if you drool on the car, it will devalue the car, and you can buy it for half price? J/K...wish it was that easy.

I wish I had the means to buy a G35 coupe myself. A 350 with a sleeker shell inside and out, and better dealership service, for the same price?

Too bad with my budget my next car's looking more like Spec-Vish.

I'll pick a 350Z anytime over the G35 coupe. That car's getting in to my dreams now.

Price.
Same quality (Infiniti & Nissan)
Rust warranty might be better on an Infiniti but the cars are built the same ... heck, if I had a Z, I won't drive it in the winter and I'd wash & wax that sucker every other day of the week. Not to mention an underbody rustproofing for peace of mind. No rust then.
Service can suck at an Infiniti too ... just depends on the dealership you go to. It's the same engine, same powertrain. Chances are, you can service your Z at an Infiniti dealer as well.

the Z and G35 coupe are suppose to be very close in HP and TQ just a few off, no more then 10 on both


it would make no sence for nissan to make the z/g35coupe to be TT'ed cuz the SKYLINE GT-R is comming here in a few years and it might have a Vq35deTT and a optional v8

So I've seen 3 colors of the Z in person so far.

1) Daytona blue (my fav)
2) Brickyard
3) Le Mans sunset

Gotta go with the blue

I'll choose the 350Z over the G35 ANYTIME
Is that hint enough?
