Who here has a G and now thinking of having a Z?

zonic03 · 05-12-2008, 01:55 PM

I was just woundering. Have you ever wanted to own a Z instead of a G and why?

Triji · 05-12-2008, 01:58 PM

Not really... When the Z first came out I was thinking about getting one but no rear seats... I got the "G" for the room and the comfort and am glad I did. I still really like the Z but I would not trade my "G" for one in this lifetime.

zonic03 · 05-12-2008, 02:03 PM

Yea, looking for a G now.

roncfpz · 05-12-2008, 02:12 PM

Both great cars! The Z feels more nimble and sportier than the G. The G has more of a luxury touring car feel.

I had a G coupe and now own a Z.

I miss my G... but I like my Z! Why compromise... buy both!

Wow... nice car list lol.

Alot of people go from Z to G rather than G to Z....

OCG35 · 05-13-2008, 05:11 PM

I was set on a Z when I bought the G... the only reason I got G is because professional considerations forced me to need 4 seat for clients...

The Z is hands down the most fun car I've ever driven... I made the mistake of telling sales manager that the car speaks for itself and I didn’t even need to converse with a salesman (mistake because a statement like that takes all the leverage away from buyer)...

Anyway - fun factor and performance definitely goes to the Z... there are many things abut the G I prefer - but without passenger needs I would be in a Z (BTW, I don’t have passenger needs anymore and yes I considered selling the sedan and getting G, but with all that I've done to the car, I'm not considering it anymore - besides, I've beat plenty of Zs

)

Edit: as stated a few posts above - buy both... I may do that eventually... I wouldn't do coupe and Z, but sedan and Z is a good combo

mgoosh · 05-13-2008, 05:12 PM

EVERYONE DO NOT BUY FROM zonic03!!!
he took my money and did not give my money back when UPS paid him for a damaged hood that i had purchased!!!!

Tac-M · 05-13-2008, 05:14 PM

fun z > g

speed z > g

sitting in traffic g > z

naughty240 · 05-13-2008, 05:58 PM

I love Z's but no back seat was a deal breaker. I didnt wanna have to sell my car if I had a kid. Orange Z's are one of my all time favorites.

skaterbasist · 05-13-2008, 09:05 PM

Most of the time its someone going from a Z to a G. But there are a few times where G drivers end up with a Z. Both are similar cars with different personalities.

Z is the sportier version, G is the classier version.

G Coupe is a little pricier, but you get more ammenities & luxury. Z is a little less expensive, and you get less...weight

Can't go wrong with buying both Mike. Having the sedan as a DD and Z as a weekend car sounds fun. And yes, having a G Coupe & Z at the same time is a bit redundant. But that's not the case for the G Sedan & Z.

As for me, I'd opt for an S2000. Something different is always good. G35 Coupe + S2k =

Henry are you eyeing an S2K now?

It'll make you dizzy trying to race yourself in autocross with those 2 cars

S2K would be fun indede - but I'm affraid I'd try to make one like Shawn Church's

and your going FI eventually... no change for you my friend your hooked on making a G-beast!

Triple8Sol · 05-14-2008, 02:04 AM

I wanted a Z originally, but only having 1 car as a daily driver, I chose the G coupe for practicality reasons. It paid off, since on rare occasions, I can take passengers. Also, even with a sub in the trunk, I can fold the seat and carry my golf clubs. I regularly fit 4 wheels/tires inside for AutoX/track. Having bought an SUV last year, I could get away with a 2-seater now.

OCG35 · 05-14-2008, 09:02 AM

^^^ for sure the G is much more practical... coupe or sedan.

The Z has virtually no storage space, I didn't like that the glove compartment was behind the passenger seat and there are almost no cubby spaces to put stuff... IMO it's solely a "for fun" car - nothing more than that to me. For business or even everyday practicality it isn’t very versatile. It would be a great 2nd car. the G is a perfect everyday functional car that has potential for competitive spirited driving.
