Default More attention for looks alone: g35c or 350Z?

I looked for a search on this topic but I couldn't find anything.

What do you guys think gets more attention looks alone?
G35 coupe or a 350Z? I personally stare at both when I can, but the more I think of it, I enjoy seeing the Z more than the G35c.

What are your guy's experience? Maybe at meets or something. Do people give the G35 coupes just as much attention as the 350Zs? Maybe something to the effect like:

(stock looks alone...no body kits or anything)

My personal opinion is that the Z looks better. This is a totally biased opinion though.

Hands down, the Zzzz wins the looks contest. The G 35 is just another sports coup.

Honestly I get so many stares, I've come to sorta expect it. But I will say this. I have gazed long and hard at the G35 Coupe every chance I could. (before and after I got the Z).

I love the G35c but I think its proportions aren't as good as the Z. The G looks too long IMO. Plus I prefer all of the exterior details of the Z like the slick door handles and badging.

The Z hands down. I am from Wisconsin and this car litwerally attracts more attention then any vehicle on the road, inckuding many of the higher priced sportscars. Frankly, when a guy with a Porsche walks up to me and starts asking about the Z it is a bit much.

**g35 coupe is a nice looking normal car. (or luxurious). It's pretty much standard as a middle sport luxurious that is probably very well defined. But G35 looks like a car that is designed first on it's functionallity (assumed taken from other model), and later worked on the looks.
Z is less as a normal car, from outside it's appears more exotic than normal. It has a strong character, the overall shape (even the interior front or back).

I think the Z is more in your face, where the G is more classy looking. I really think the G is a good looking car, but if you want to draw stares, the Z will do it more. The G35C looks too much like many other import sedans.

at first i loved the Z. I thought whoa it looks so good.

Then i heard about the G comming out. I'm like nah the Z is played out and the G is more rare and looks really good.

Then I take a good look at both in person and compare.

I love the Z again. B/C it looks sportier and is the roofline is lower to the ground than on the G

Since the Z lacks back seats it can look sportier and more exotic than a G. You'll probably see less Z's on the road than G's in the long run b/c it has no back seat. Which will make the Z more rare.

So to me the Z (in daytona blue ) looks better.

Both are good looking...originally I wanted a G. I think in pictures the G looks slightly better than in real life...the opposite is true of the Z. Somehow the low stance and bulging rear fenders of the Z give it a much more aggressive look than the G.

I remember one time I parked my Z next to my buddy's G35..both our cars are the pearl white. I remember his very words: "If only I hadn't needed those back seats." I think that about sums it up.

Both are great cars though, but very different personalities.

Z all the way.

The G looks are sweet but there are so many of them on the road it sorta makes them not as noticable as the Z.

Everywhere I go in the Z I still get a lot of looks.

LOL

I was looking at both when I chose the Z. I think the aggressive looking fenders on the Z make it much more noticeable, while the G has sort of a subtle look to it. I ended up going with the Z because of the looks, and because of the heritage. Plus, the backseat in the G is all but useless to me, and I wasn't looking for luxury.

Well, if you really are curious, you might want to post this same thread on www.freshalloy.com and see what answers you get. I bet they will be the same with Z replaced with G!!!!

subjective. different people see beauty in different things. I think both cars look cool as hell and have found myself checking out g35c's alot.

then again there are some people that think both cars are ugly. ...albeit the minority...but just goes to show you; different strokes for different folks.
