This is the worst question known to mankind. You fail. Go back into your momma's womb.

Which would you do? I want both.....
what kind of retard goes to a 350z message board and asks if any of them would prefer a lightning over a z?

And all you guys thinking your so mature with a 30k sports car need to get over yourself look around 70% of people spend 30k plus on any car now. Hell for 40k you can get a 1 year old elise that will aesthetically rape our g35/350. Just get tired of hearing how mature or grown up the g35/350z makes someone feel or think they look. And for the people who say its a f-150 thats like calling a EVO a lancer either way you'll get WORKED like a rented mule by both.
Get what works for you if not the lightning try the SRT-10 it even has 4 doors and with a boost you looking a 750hp. She has a heavy a$$ but with some mods and that viper engine watch out.
Easy choice if you need towing or hauling.
I have no idea why a stock lighting would rape a z/G i have raced my cousins several times and its neck and neck. How hard is it to mash the gas on the lighting? Are they faster? yea but not crazy faster stock. When you start swaping pullies and such then they are nutty fast.

You must have been bored this evening - feeling the need to drag up this year old thread. I'd bet the original poster hasn't been on since then.

Get a Toyota X-runner... it's quick, handles decently and can tow, and it's got Toyota reliability FTW!

Lightning is quick but it's still a pick up truck.

Can you move your dresser with your Z? or go pickup a 40" flatscreen with the Z? How about buy more that $200 in stuff at costco? ALL NO. Just debating a point of him needing it for towing. Also would like a poll to see who all said the Z own there own home not a loft, condo or apartment but home. And their Z is their DD.

well you can get a new z than a lightning because the lightning isnt in production anymore. and to be honest they're really not to fast. unless you mod them they're only marginally faster. when i had my mustang i would walk them all the time..... and altho my mustang was faster than my z. the z is way more fun so id go with the z unless towing things is a big part of your life

I got spanked by a modded lightning. It spewed so much black smoke it looked like a diesel. I havent gotten the chance to take one out but i would probably trade the z for a lightning for a day or two, but i dont think i could give up the z permanantly for a lightning
