ok, i know i havent made many posts on here, but i got a little dilemma and im looking for any opinions
i got a 2003 ssm cls 6sp got 20% tint all the way around a double din dvd player and a JL 12w7 in the trunk, and by the end of summer to have comptech icebox and to get it lowered
but
ive recently come up with the opportunity to get a 2003 nissan 350z with greddy twin turbo pushin about 370whp with full lip kit and sound system already done, and it would cost me equal to what im payin now for the cls
any opinions?

 

take the Z, i would

 

yea but i cant drive the z in the winter so it kinda worries me cuz its running 19" eagle f1 gs-d3 tires

 

Get the 350z and pick up a pair of cheapo winter wheels and tires.
Oh BTW, make sure that this Z doesn't have the problems that other '03 Z's had...

 

yea thats what im thinkin, ill try to get pics of both of them up next to each other tomorrow, since the 350 is my brothers and hes tryin to get rid of it

its my brothers z so i know how it is with everything, runs great at a low compression rate only problem i would need to take care of is gettin new rotors because his are warped, i would probably take the dvd system from my car and put it in the z as well

 

Well it helps that it was your bro's car. If he owned it since new, then at least you know how it was taken care of and what problems (if any) it had.

 

yea onwed since new and i know the shop that did all the work on his car its in great condition, im leanin more and more towards the z but i would have to get another set of 19" rims and tires for winter because of his bbk

 

Huh price same. Getting rid of CL for the 350Z.... it looks nice Why the hell would you want to switch. Do you not love the way the CL drives and handles the road? DO you like the way the interior of the 350Z is do freaking blah? i guess so... You'll regret it

 

Priced same because it it my brothers so hes cuttin me slack. Don't get me wrong I love the way the CL looks and rides sweet. Ive wanted it since it first came out and I finally got it Fed 2006 and its been great to me so far. The handling is actually a lot better on the 350 as i have driven both cars, the pics i put up tomorrow will give you guys a little more insight as to my choice that i am currently torn between

 

I wouldnt, boosted cars are prone to breaking (trust me, mines in a hundred pieces right now). If it was a 2nd carsure, but for a DD I wouldnt, but thats just me.

How much does he want for it?

 

Been lookin around on 350 forums, seems like at the pressure hes running it should be good, if anythin i could gte new internals for it to reassure it
He's giving it to me for $20k and said i can just pay him $350/mo til its done.

 

Yeah, the cl would be your best bet in terms of reliability depending on how long you were planning on keeping it.
Does your bro live in an area w/ harsh winters? If so how has he handled them regarding the 19's?

 

yea i def feel safer as far as reliability with the cl, he lives in northern virginia, where it can be bad for winter but it is not his dd its his summer car so the car has only seen snow once or twice in the past 4 years, as for the cl so far its great in the snow

 

don't buy a heavily modded car unless you know the person selling it

 

damn... i would keep the CL. too many modded Z's running aorund now adays... wher ein Moco are u?

 

If it's not about a CL (this thread is about a 350Z), it doesn't belong here...
