I think an Evo is a wee but too much for me.Supposed to be mid to high $30k correct? I think it will most likely be a 350Z. I will try to look for one from an older guy who used it as a weekend car. Thank you everyone for your advice with my decision. And as soon as I get it I will post pics of what most likely be a stock white 350Z !

I say 350Z. Maybe look at a G35 coupe, they are priced very similarly, and the g seats 4 people. My only concern would be winters(oh, and potholes, b/c you are so low to the ground). This was not an issue for me, as it never snows here and the roads are pretty good. Good luck with whatever you choose.

I am partial to the STi having owned one before. I bought it used with 14k on the clock and it was a nice car. I do say that before you buy an STI take an extended test drive that includes all types of driving conditions. It truly is a race car with license plates and the suspension is extreme for everyday use if you are used to a smooth riding car. Other than that the car is super fun and gets looks everywhere you go and everybody and their mother wants to race you for some strange reason.

+1 for the G, but I'm biased.

I enjoyed my 3 years of ownership of a 2003 350z enthusiast silver coupe. Picked 1 up the first week they rolled in to the dealership Labor Day weekend 2002. Car drove fantastic. Gas mileage was good and it was extremely reliable. Complaints include the cheap plasticky interior, harsh ride especially over potholes which were bone-jarring, and lack of cargo space with the horizontal bar running across beneath the hatchback and across the rear cargo bay which effectively precluded storage of any large boxes. Still could fit in 2 sets of golf clubs though. Stock audio pales in comparison to Bose system in my RL. Never drove an STI though. Look forward to the Evo X though, photos look tits.

Thats funny, some Evo owners buy STis for daily drivers because there suspesnion is so much softer.

True. I got an STI after owning a TSX so it was like riding in a go-cart compared to the tsx. Now my Cayman is just right. It rides as compliant and comfortable as a TSX without the overyly harsh ride and can bend corners like there is no tomorrow.

I have enjoyed owning both a 04 G35 6mt and a 05 STi at the same time. I bought the G35 when I lived in Southern California. Shortly after buying the G I went to Stillen and bought 19" Volk GT-C's for it and had Stillen do all the necessary suspension work. Beautiful car. When I moved back home to Chicago I immediately bought Blizzaks for my stock rims for the upcoming winter. It wasn't enough for me. The Blizzaks really didn't help. I had to find a different option. The Sti was it! I bought the Sti last January and kept both cars for three months. I ended up selling the G. The G had a nicer interior and great exhaust note, but the STi beat it in almost everything else that mattered to me (performance, handling, braking). If your looking for performance all year round, buy the STi. If you want looks and RWD, buy the Z.

this is so true and I agree with you. I might try that texting thing...

Either be tight! I agree with everyone, drive em both. And go with what you like best.

So am I.

B/c NIssans are garbage. I've driven em all. They don't impress me at all. Nissan interior is absolutely bleh.

The 350z is supremely overpriced.

the 350z is a "mature" car? LOL

None of them I tried to fuck with would bite.

hmm..i was just comparing the sti and 350z...which are both being sold in the US....i was using the GTR as a reference, and I was talking about the skyline gtr R34, which is more like a 4-5 years old car. When 350z was first introduced, the r34 was still in production.

Here's my piece of overpriced garbage. Got it last month. I guess I made a mistake and I'm sorry I didn't consult you first.

OMG You made a huge mistake! Nissans are meh! STi > Ditka

if i was in your position i'd either get a G37 coupe or next March i'd hit the Mitsubushi dealer for the new Evo 10

Thats not his position

Deja Vu!

isn't it clear that he's shopping for a used car?

Yea and my overpriced garbage too that gets attention everywhere I go.

Satan0415 -19 post and already a red dot

^^Not surprised.... but I wonder what he drives since he thinks the 350Z is overpriced garbage and doesn't think its a mature car.

Wow! Official Nismo Z. Very nice! Congrats!!

STI FTW

Boy am I the only one that thinks the nismo Z looks horrific from behind? And this is coming from a Nissan owner

Can someone tell me if there are any changes coming for the 08 Z? I am seriously considering a Z once I can get one of the 07 leftovers.

It's looks kinda weird in pics and at certain angles... but IN PERSON.. it is HOT.

I originally said that till I saw it in person. Pics do not do it justice.

Its going to be called the 370 Z, and its going to have the same motor as the G37

Red text?

The 370z isn't 08, it's a future model

STi all the way. AWD!

Correct but not till 2011.

WTF taking them so long. the 08 G37 hitting now. 3 years to do the roll out that's bull shit.

by the time the 370Z comes out, the GT-R would would own the sales

yes and no. it will be going pretty strong but the GT-R gonna be price WAAAAAY above (no firm numbers yet but what i project) the 370Z. i'd say atleast 25-30 grand above a loaded Nismo.

STI, cheaper to mod then the 350...

Easier to make faster.
