wow im very impressed with the sound and handeling of the car alittle on the fat/slow side but i love it looks like ill be trading in my STi for one soon does the Z sound nice with the nismo exhaust?

 

Yes (to the Nismo exhaust). You'll like it. It's an awesome car! The STI is awesome too, but RWD is fun in it's own way, . Welcome to the site!

 

Yea I never dug AWD. Better handling, but the RWD is def more fun in my book..

 

Touring Z with the Navi here i come lol hows the insurence cost on the Z only thing i dont like is the car feels so heavyy but the exhaust tone OMG i like jizzed my pants lol even thos they only had a auto to test drive i like it

 

Can you compare/contrast the two cars in a little more detail?

 

well the Sti is a freakin tourqe monster man killer handeling strong 6 speed and the boxer rumble but i rather have a 2 door 2 seater cuz i dont like to haul people around its annoying and nottin bets the Sti's DCCD also i have a question why is the Z's redline 6500 and the G's 7000.....

 

theSTIguy - I have one simple request of you .... LEARN TO USE F'CKIN PUNCTUATION!!!!

Thanks and welcome to the site.

 

The G went to the Rev Up motor before the Z. The 06 will redline at 7K.

 

so whats the diffrence between the 05 touring and the 06 touring?

 

Come on man, do some research on your own.

 

Do you want do go around explaining to your friends why you bought a car that is fat and slow. Think about it?

 

Haha. Yeah, when I decided I wanted a Z I went out and bought all the car magazines I could and went to the nissanusa.com website and checked everything out. I was an expert before I ever drove one.

 

Geez guys is this how we treat new people! Lighten up and give the guy a break.

Welcome to the forum! I would wait for the 06's if you are not worried about the price difference. All 06 manuals have the 300 HP engine, 18"s wheels, different headlights, LED tailights, different front grill, some minor interior changes, and audio controls on the steering wheel. To me its worth the wait.

Put your STI up for sale here, lots of folks would be interested!

 

i searched for pics of the 06 but i couldent find anything can u please post a pic

the 06, as you probably know, has new appearances inside and out. personally, i think the front headlight blubs look too big. but more importantly, all 06 350z's with a manual transmission will have 300 hp and a 7000 rpm redline (and a more even torque curve than the 05, but the 05's peak torque is higher). as for the 05, you will get 287 hp and 6600 redline unless you get a 35th anniversary edition or a grand touring model.

 

dont get the nismo exhaust... its jus a bit bit bit louder... cant really notice the power gain...
