Default thinkin of a 350

like the name says i have a neon right now modded to hell and back. i really like the G35 and 350, i went to go test drive the g35 and was really dissappointed with the power, but EVERYTHING else was great, the ride, suspension, looks everything. but i dont see it worth spending almost 30k for it used. im thinking of maybe a 350. i wouldnt mod it l;ike i have me car now, if anything maybe a nice set of 20's.

You may miss the boost from the "neon" but you should be overall happy with it.

Personally I think Z's should have 19s, but to each their own, right? I really don't see what your asking or if this thread actually is about anything worth discussing so I'll just leave it at that.

It's not a bad car for the price and value. The Z has it's share of problems.

The 350 is a pos. Now the 350z, that's a sweet ride from what I hear.
I'd say go for it. Which trim are you going for? new/used? The z goes for about 30k or so brand new, and from what I hear, now is the time to buy a 2006.

NOT really being sarcastic at all, IMO....I would be honestly concerned that a Dodge would prove unreliable, if I owned one (You gotta admit their track record ain't all that great).

Glad your Neon has proven reliable and I'm sure the Daimler-Chrsyler collaboration has resulted in superior vehicles, both in fit and finish and overall reliability.

IMO, the Z is a good solid car for it's price range..I'd wait till closer to December to get a better year-end deal on an '06 Z.

If your SRT is heavily modified then your definatly going to be disappointed with the stock power of the 350z, the 350z is only slightly faster then the G35 and in all honesty its probably more a drivers race then anything..

SRT4, WRX and EVO are all enco cars that the manufactuer put turbo's in to make them quick, but at there core there still an enco car. The 350z is low cost all around performance sports car. It's more the jack of all trades instead of the master of one... It's pretty quick, handles good, interior is good (not luxurious but not cheap either) and it looks more expensive then it really is, a lot of people think its a $50k+ sports car...

Bottom line is if your looking for something that hauls *** and looks hot then you need to move up to the $50k-$70k bracket (Porsche's, Vettes, Vipers etc....)

If speed is the most important thing to you and you don't have a lot of money then your better off sticking with the SRT4 or going for a WRX or EVO...

Buy a G instead.. you'll regret everything about the Z except for the power where you'll be happy w/ everything on the G except the power... The power's pretty similar, so you should test it out some more...

I'm not being dumb or sarcastic at all. You aren't asking anything. There really nothing to discuss.

Pros: Looks good,(looks like it cost far more than its actual price) Okay performace/handling and such.
Cons: Not as fast as your SRT4. 2 seater. All Civics want to race you. (and SUVs?)
