cls 6spd vs 350z 6spd

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?

I'd get the CL-S because in the long run, unless you've got cash saved up that CL-S is going to be much easier to take care of that two turbos.

My $.02 ... I'd rather have the Z but if I could afford a 2003 TT then I'd probably get something newer, you know?

Z FTW! Its not even a question, however keep in mind that the twin turbo setup will require more maintenance then your stock CLS

yea i know it will require more maintenance, i would also have to get winter rims/tires....
the 350 has a bbk that only fits 19's, tho, i think i can do 18 but its gonna be tight, just gotta find the right fit

IMO. i don't like buying hook-up cars. I like to have my personality. plus anything that been modifed to the engine is a nono. i bet that car was beaten like a rented stepchild. its your money though.

The only reason i think he should be able to look past that is because it's his brother's car, but i agree with you.

No brainer. RWD>FWD. Although the CLS wins in the comfort category.
