350z vs. G35 vs. S2000 vs. RSX

[Gutling]

RSX off the list, i hate 350z interior (no room at all, but to be fair im a big guy 6' 280)
G35s f-ing rule, look 10x better than z, more roomier (not huge amounts but enough to make it pleasent)
I really dont know about the s2k, i have never driven/worked on one (im a tech at a nissan dealership, i do at least 1 z or g a day lol) but i have considered getting one, they are sexy with the right wheels

[ueyedgr8tness]

you have to build the internals on the s2k to get that much power.. not to mention the rear diff snaps at about 350whp.. it's much more exspensive to mod an s2k than a 350/g35. and stock for stock the 350 is faster.. and the 07 350 is ALOT faster.

well lets say here on a vs mod

s2k cost for new clutch would be 800-1100

350z cost for new clutch around 1200-1600

this is with it getting installed and the price will go up and down considering what grade of clutch u get.

[BTLFED]

First of all, what exactly are you looking for in a car? As far as performance, looks, handling, ect.
Will this be your project car, or just a daily drive with alittle bit of power to play with? Either way, the Rsx can't compare with any of the cars, not stock atleast. The G35 is nothing more than a wannabe 350z, the S2k is from what I heard a really nice, fun car to have. IMO it looks alot better than the others on your list.

But it all comes down to taste. Its what you want.

A wannabe 350?! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA! Dumbest post evar!

[Mayniac]

A wannabe 350?! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA! Dumbest post evar!

In alot of ways, yes.

When you compare both, the 350 will beat it hands down. Or what, you going to tell me im wrong? Better have your facts ready to go.

And your right about building the internals of the s2k to make power but for the $ of buying a used car the best route woud be the s2k all he would need is some crower cams and some bolt on's and he is good.Cause i am not sure he is trying to buy a new 1 cause if he was for the $ he would be spending there are way nicer car's out there for the high 20k mark we all no that

YEa the 350 will slay the g for sure hands down.It just looks better that all,bt i would never buy it just cause it looks a little better cause in the performance point of view it is slower and does not handle like the 350 so i would have to agree with u on that just a little

[David88vert]

The S2K is the best driver's car out of the group - has the best balance easily.
The 350Z has more power though and still is a very good performer. Got to love the torque.
The G35 is a better daily driver, and is just classier all around.
The RSX is wrong wheel drive.

The question is - what are you going to use it for?

Oh, your right, you know more than I do even though I have been working at an Infiniti dealership for years.

I don't argue with ignorance. Just because they share engine and drivetrain doesn't make them the same car.

Tell me, where is the 350Z sedan? I mean, the G35 is nothing but a "wannabe" 350Z (even though they cater to two different markets), so there must be a 350Z sedan, right?

Lemme guess, you think the Nissan Murano and the Infinti FX35 are the same too?

indeed.

just drive them all..buy what you like best? thats what i did.

i've not seen clutch prices for 350's that high.. ever.. my buddy got a brand new JWT clutch/flywheel combo for around 800.

s2k all the way for me out of the group.Oh and dave u been riding on 2 any?

he got the clutch and installed 2 for that price? Cause if u look at the bottom i said with it being installed for that price The only reason i say this is because before i got the neon i checked into all these car's and the prices to mod and so on and what kind of $ my (F) would be spending and those were the prices i got out of ppl

Ignorance? Calm down, we're not arguing here.

I wasn't saying all of that. What I was talking about, or trying to say is that the G and Z both have the same motor/drivetrain but alot of people always compare both, and the Z always wins. No matter if its on the track or street, the 350 is a better car all around IMO. No matter what you say, stock for stock the G will never beat the Z. And a Z has always been a roadster, ever since the first gen Z's came out. Sure they did a 2+2 z32 but that doesn't mean Nissan was going to make the same mistake on the z33.

[David88vert]

Rode up the Mustang show at MU on Sunday. Need to stretch the legs on the bike a little. Got some new toys on it, just need to finish installing one more thing to finish it for now. Looking to work on getting another bike for the track next.

So what? ONE MORE TIME: THEY ARE MARKETED TO TWO DIFFERENT MARKETS. The G is heavier, has better interior, looks better, and sacrifices a little performance TO APPEAL TO A HIGHER CLASS MARKET.

I ask you again: Do you think the Murano and FX are the same too? I mean, they are shaped similiar, and they both have a VQ35.

[ZeD]

he got the clutch and installed 2 for that price? Cause if u look at the bottom i said with it being installed for that price The only reason i say this is because before i got the neon i checked into all these car's and the prices to mod and so on and what kind of $ my (F) would be spending and those were the prices i got out of ppl

well.. he does know a mechanic by the name of Vuong.. he runs a garage on here :] the clutch is the exspensive part. vuong does very fair prices and extremely good work.. but for the average consumer yes, installtion+clutch is more exspensive on the Z. for some reason it hought your post said "WITHOUTH install" xP

all the "looks better stuff" is totally opinion based. some people want that sports car feeling.. which the Z delivers.. and especially on the outside.. i HATE the front of a g35.. but the side/back are sexyyyyy. it's all opinion based. but factually the Z is a better all around vehicle.

I have ridden in both. And they're really not that much diffrent. Sure the G has alittle bit more fansier accessories, but this kid isn't looking for all that. He's looking for what will help him get laid and maybe have alittle fun with.

Your opinion is that the G35 is better, ok. Thats cool, but "IMO" I think the Z is.

I ask you again: Do you think the Murano and FX are the same too? I mean, they are shaped similiar, and they both have a VQ35.

Im sure just like the Z and G they have some diffrences. We're heading in another direction, stick to the subject.

It is better as a performance vehicle. It is not a better "all around" vehicle.

Yea i was 1 time looking into getting 1 but the prices unless u no some 1 like your buddy did it is hard to get even local shops that are not dealer's to work on the z for cheap from my experience.I just need to get a hookup on a shop for my next project

[ueyedgr8tness]

true that but come on this is IA he must be 1 of those katz that want the extra jump on performance but he got to be able to do with out that high class feel that u get when your in the (G)

then vuongs your man.. he does everything but tuning..

Turbo installs/clutches/springs/coilovers ANYTHING you can think of on any car, and he stands by his work 100%. as do all of us that know him :]

[BTLFED]

Im sure just like the Z and G they have some diffrences. We're heading in another direction, stick to the subject.

Actually they are two completely different cars. The Murano is built on the Maxima platform and the FX is built on the G sedan platform. The G and The Z (Along with the FX and new EX XUVs) are all built on the "front midship" platform. The point is even though they are on the same platform and share the same engine/drivetrain, they are NOT the same and don't perform the same.

And if you think a stock 350Z pulls more chicks than a stock G35 Coupe, you are living in your own world where the color of the sky is not blue.

[ueyedgr8tness]

Damnm dawg we all no the g picks up more hoe's than the z but id rather be able to go faster than look better.And damn after i rode in mary's car i was like nice car but damn does all these car's have the same problems cause it cost more but this is 1 nice pos.

You're getting pretty old, so I can understand you not being able to read my post, the way they're supposed to be read. How about you put on your glasses so you can read things the way I do! 20/20.
Where in my post did I say that a 350 could pick up more chicks than a G35? Chris, not sure what you're trying to prove here, but it aint working. Both cars, get the job done. This guy might be wanting more performance than luxury, he's not 30+ so im sure he doesn't have to worry about all those extra little buttons and not being able to pick up chicks.

Made some changes. :p

[ATK_Designs]

S2K, 350z, G35 - you can't go wrong. All are nice and requires a bit of money to mod (350z and G35 costs a lil more, trust me, I know, I own a G).

Between a G and Z, I choose the G because I need backseat, and the G is much more classy upper class. The G is a lil heavier, so handling and power is a lil less compared to the Z. But it has more pros to outweight the cons. Nothing a lil power adder and full race suspension setup.

But each car is different. So one G may win against the Z, and lost against the other. My G dynoed better than some Z with similar mods. It's also the driver's game.

[ueyedgr8tness]

i WILL take the z plssssss

I'm trying to prove that you are wrong and I am doing it. the G is not a "wannabe" 350. They are two different cars that cater to two different markets. And yes, you made a statement about pulling ho's.

And what does age have to do with anything? That just proves you have nothing to add. Everytime you run out of stuff to say you make an age wisecrack.

Of course, I expect nothing less from a KID driving a WRX.

i WILL take the z plssssss

good choice. 750++rwhp.. 4.2 liter built block.. sexy as hell.. i'd suck a *****'s **** or suhn for that thing..

A wannabe Z when it comes to performance.

And pulling ho's? Even someone with a Honda can do that. When someone goes out looking for girls he shouldn't be trying to look for beat up tunnels... I brought up the age, not cause of you. Didn't think you would take it like that. I respect older people, when they're not trying to act like they're in their mid 20's again.

And im turning 21 next year, not going to be a kid for long.

No they aren't that much different but the i like to make this comparison
The 350 is uglier but faster-comperable to a camaro
The G35 is sexier but heavier, better interior-comperable to a 04 GTO.
Camaro's and Gto's argue over that all the time..just like Z's and G's. Same motor..ones faster, ones sexier.
Get the G35.
