Default 996 VS 350Z

How do you think the 350z compares to the 996?

Ummmmm? Outclassed in every way possible!

Pompous and biased you call me? (I know its coming) I've had a G35 since it first came out and just about to get rid of it for an M5, went through the modding of it over 4 years ago and know them and the VQ motors inside and out!

sorry, verry wrong ask a question. 350Z is not a sport car. Even if you compare 996 4S tiptronic (the slowes among 996) it bits nissan in all area. In Poland 350 on 1/4 makes 14,4 996 4S 13,8 with laptop and few beggs on board . 350 Z is nowhere near.

The 350 is too heavy.

It is slower, but is not as attractive

May be he forgets to add that 350z is modded (like twin-turboed)?

i've raced multiple stock and bolt-on modded 350Z's....no competition, my 996 pulls cars on em everytime right from the dig.

the only 350Z's to worry about in terms of performance are the twin turbos....and at 13g's a kit (up here at least) plus install and tuning costs, there aren't many of them around.
