i am thinking about getting a car and i'm torn between the 04 G35C and the 04 350Z. personally, i find the G35C to be a little more attractive than the Z, which brings me to my question ... are there any real differences between the two besides their exterior and interior designs ?

 

Not really. I personally like the look of the Z better. Both are beautiful.

 

Size difference was the thing that made me make the change.

 

I would say the biggest difference is one has a back seat and the other does not.. Performance wise the Z is a tad faster and handles a little better, but its pretty much a toss up..

 

If you want pure performance go Z, if you want some performance and nice looks go G35c.

The Z is about 200-230 lbs lighter with a stiffer-tuned suspension... giving it a slight edge on performance...

As for looks, it's personal preference... personally I prefer the Z... and so do the crowds when I park beside my buddy's G35C on Sundays

 

Just get a G35c.

I was never torned between the two, well maybe for a second but they're such different cars.
Lack of a backseat will get you and if you like the looks of the G35 then why not?

It seems like you're more concerned with design and aesthetics than with overall performance. (even though they're pretty close)
I just HAD to have a Z...there was no doubt about it. I imagined if I was in your situation, where you consider the G to be more attractive...just get it!

 

Both cars look hot and share similar mechanicals & frame. I would let the need for 2 vs 4 seats be the determining factor.

 

Have to agree. I just didn't "feel" the G. The Z I did, in a major way.

 

One is an icon. The other is a car.

 

yeah fellas I'm torn ... I love the look of the G35C, especially those rear LEDs at night ! and 2 seats might be a problem for me ... but for some reason I'm still drawn to the Z ... plus for the same amount of money , I can get a Z with more options than the G35C . This is hard !

 

Test drove and thought about getting the G quite for quite awhile, but, for us at least, when we saw the Z,we were sold on it , the G35c just didnt have the same feel or look, the z has a much more aggresive shape both ext and int, and better handling, just an overall better feel,my hubby didnt like the G at all, on a test drive he sat in the back seat and the top of his head was touching the back window, so he kinda had to scooch down a little and also he had minimal leg room. mabey backseats more for kids etc?

The G is a very nice car, price is close enough (unless u live in vegas, home of the 40k+ G35c :P)and it has 2 extra seats, and lots of little gadgets.

it all depends if you want more lux creature comforts etc.. but its your $$$ take your time, dont rush into anything.

Good luck
