you know the G vs. the Z is almost like an epic battle between 2 fantastic cars. My brother is getting a G35 and I am getting a 350z, of course I'm getting a Z because it's cheaper and I can afford it more than I could with a G35.. But honestly I do think that the G35 is better, just because I do like luxury >>

Look for a used g35 specially if you like luxury the Z is all around better performing sports car i actually like the interior of the Z alot. The interior of the g35 is nice dont get me wrong but its just not my cup of tea i dont like the way things are set up like the dash and etc.

I'm the "Z bashing G35 owner" according to my friend DJ. I just found out about this post from my brother, and I just want to make a few things clear.

1. I never said what DJ said. I love the 350z, I have a model of it in my room, and have wanted the car for 4 years. I bought a g35 b/c I wanted a more luxurious car and back seats.
2. The 350z is faster than the g35. The specs obviously prove this, so why would I say otherwise.
3. All I said to DJ was, if you want a car for performance (which DJ cares much more about), you should get a Z. If you want a car for luxury and speed, get a G35. I think there's no denying a stock Z is faster than a stock G35, and a G35 is much nicer and luxiorious inside than a Z.
4. The day he got the Z, I drove up to his house and told him how happy I was that he got that car that he really wanted, and that our cars are basically brothers. I also have silver, and he has charcoal, which was my preference over silver.
5. Anyone who bashes a Z that owns a G35, or vice versa, is an idiot. The cars are built on the same platform.

DJ, you're an idiot for making this post. This is your 6th car in 6 years, be happy with it and dont come on the board to get reassurance that you made the right decision, and make me look bad at the same time. Thanks.

Z sports car G sports coupe. End of story. Both share FM platforms and are simliar but the G is a civilized Z. The G dirivied from the Z with a extended chassis and diff suspension bracing elements not the other way around. the designers described the Z as a raw machine with more crude elements directed to track use. When u get into a G the luxuries tend to lean to more of a sports coupe feel , more touring then the harshnesss of the road noice and crude bracing strut towers etc then the Z. Anyone who bashes the Z is really bashing the G because all of the parts are nissan and diriving from the same point of origin. Really funny if u ask me. And stock for stock on sheer weight alone Z is quicker and slalom tests are better then teh G aswell. This is weight and maybeyt he added strut and more aggressive tire setups on the track editions that allow this. The G however is a awesome for having the back seats and luxuries . .i mean its the sister car. But yea i usually laugh at ignorant comments like that. besides infiniti's service department there is really nothing u can bash because there made for 2 diff purposes , ..and for the track the Z is the platform of choice.

Thos picse of the G are stunning but confusing. Why the different hoods? And a "350GT" plate...

In any event, G is nice, but its a sedan. I was looking at buying one before my Z. Very nice car and ride.

Drove the Z and that was that. SPORTS car. Pure and simple. I evidentially wanted a sports car, not a sedan.

Weird that you say that. Go to a BMW and RSX forum and do a search. They had a poll/discussion on which car LOOKS better and about 80% picked the G.I can only assumed the casual riders would have the same views b/c they usually prefer a more classic/sexy look and when modded slightly it would look aggressive like the Z. I love the way both car look and b/c of that alone, it was the hardest decision i had to make but I went with the G b/c its more refined/comfortable with a touch of luxury.

only thing really better on the G is service and back seats. Thats why read on the g forums. Guys put our suspension and our intake tube and few other things. Z is raw performance and i acutally think the inside on the z is nicer but thats me. I mean i was in the same shoes once G or Z hard decision test drived both and it cleared it up for me. But G is great if u need back seats and still want performance. But the z performs slightly better cause its a sports car.

ur friend doesn't know what he is talking about. Just because g35 is called "skyline" doesn't mean it is a "skyline", plus z beats g35 performance wise in every way. Acceleration, handling, looks both inside and outside... the only thing better than z is g35 has rear seats. Z beats g35 straigt or track, 2. ur friend obviously has a big mouth.

An older thread that is resurrected because the new G35 MT Coupe is just a great car. New body, new engine, and a lot more. It's very much like the Z, but different.

um im lost with ur first comment. It is a skyline and is called a skyline. I think ur getting the terms confused. It isnt a GTR. There has been skyline before GTR ...its just a high performance spec version which..has been retired and brought back to life as the current GTR. But now there distancing the GTR name in the US just as there calling the 350z the Z now. Im guessing marketing ....i hate us marketing japanese marketing so much more understandable and rational.

Relax everyone. Why don't we just sit down and debate in a civilized manner?

It seems as if someone is purposely trying to create hate amongst each other.

These threads are getting old, lame, and immature

agreed, it just annoying when the same **** there are stickys and search tools for , we still get misinformation or ignorant views on a particular topic still even when it isnt true. All good , all part of the wonderful forum experience.

FWD350zTT might have a point here... yeah right. But this is what I found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiniti
"an automobile manufacturer in Japan and America and serves as Nissan's luxury brand for the American, Canadian, Mexican, Middle Eastern, South Korean and Taiwanese markets."

Isn't Bulgaria in Europe?
