i had the same struggle with the G and the Z. same family so i had no regrets going with the Z. it call comes down to the idea of luxury vs sport. the z definetly has a much more sportier feel to it IMO. i chose the z because i didnt really need a backseat, sunroof, and those other refinements. plus i think the z looks a lot better im sure i gets the most attention out of the 3 oh and i just hate mustangs...

I appreciate all types/kinds of cars because they serve their purpose in many different ways. Mainly consider a few things, how important is (no particular order):

1) Practicality
2) Style
3) Performance
4) Price

------------------

Of the three cars, I would consider the G35 as the one hittin' the sweet spot except on price (depending on what model Mustang/350z), if that's even a concern to you. The G definitely have practical use for its backseats, Z performance w/ classy style. As for the Mustang, it probably slighty edges the the Z/G in performance, but mpg might be questionable for some since it's a v8 (GT). The exterior stylin' on the Mustang probably won't stand the test of time as well as the Z. The interior of the Mustang is very unique to its legacy and I personally find it quite attractive, but not particularly as luxurious like the G35 if cabin quality is of high priority. But I would rank the Mustang and Z interior as pretty even depending on personal preference. Styling is subjective, but I would suggest a real sports cars should contain only two seats (though it's been blurred over the years), and the Z does this very well. The G looks very nice, but it has some forgetful styling due to some of its conservative cues, but definitely not its tailights. The Stang's styling is attractive, but because the v6 base version come in such a low price, the # of Stangs on the road might give it premature wear on its style. The Z holds a lot of style on its own, it should be pretty obvious it turns lots of heads.

if you want luxury car go for G35, if you want sport car you have the mustang 05 & the Z but if you want a track car of course it's gonna be the Z

this is the only way to answer your questions.

no one here can tell you which car you'll like the best, drive them and find out - most people here will probably tell you to get the z - though i dont know why.

I actually threw up a little bit in my mouth when you mentioned a Rustang in the same sentence as the Z and the G.

You really do need to test drive them. The G & Z are somewhat similar in handling while the Mustang is really more of a "Straight Line" muscle car.


If you're really considering the Mustang I'd wait until the Shelby GT500 comes out next year.

+1 on waiting for Shelby GT500, that car looks sweet. I'd seriously consider that had I not already bought my Z.

If you want the total package, go with the G. The only reason I bought the Z was because of looks, but there isn`t much luxury in it. The G`s got power AND luxury at the same time.

Like everyone said, drive them. On paper, the mustang is slightly faster in a straight line, while the Z will handle better. But once you drive them you might like how one drives better than the other. Enjoy whichever one you decide on, they're all great cars.
