350Z test drive

[AU RSX-S]

Nissan called my house tonight to let us know that they just got a 350Z track edition in and that they want us to come and drive (buy :roll: ) it. I think I'm going to let dad do this one on his own since my license is suspended. Temptation could lead me into things I couldn't dig myself out of. I'll let everyone know how it went. :D

The infinity dealer back home called my dad last week to tell him the got the G35 coupe in, and to come test drive one. We may do that when i'm home for thanksgiving. I hope it's more impressive than the G35 sedan. I really hope they have the 6 speed available.

my friend in nashville got a black 350 track.

Its really nice. Brakes are great. Major head turner. Rapes turbo SI's off the line.

I'd much rather have the G35 coupe then the 350Z. It's a much better looking car and it's hardly detuned from it's brother. On the other hand, as for a manual transmission, the Montgomery dealership said that they would be very rare. Trap speeds between the 350Z and G35 coupe are only about two mph apart. At least according to recent specs from magazines. The G35 coupe is much more plush anyways. Acura needs to do some improvement now. They're about to stop making the CL line and replace it with something else. Possibly the TSX. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think the 350Z is really ugly. I thought it'd grow on me but it's just gotten worse. And yes, I've seen it in person.

The G35 coupe is beautiful.

The coupe is nice, but it looks just like the sedan. I dont like sportscars with a 4dr counterpart (except the skyline)

i would rather have the Z

I agree with Charlie. I've said it on a thread here before. I think the Z is ugly, and would much prefer the G35 coupe. After driving the G35 sedan with my dad, however, I am still thinking the Acura TL Type-S 6 speed is a much better drivers car.

But I'm having him hold off until the new S4 comes out. :twisted:
