hey guys im 16 years old and i live in miami, fl and im getting a new car arround november-january i talked to my parents about it and as long as i bring in the grades they'll get me the 350 used of course im not a car newb i know my stuff but is there ne thing i need to know about older z's like 03-05 is probably what im gonna get and im real excited ive driven faster cars but ive also driven the z (all manual cars) and i fell in love with it my friend has a 500 whp cobra and i mean i still like the z you feel in control but whats the difference from 03-05 or 06 z's is it a huge difference or minor and what should i be expecting to pay for a used 350 im looking for a bargain its my first car any help will be greatly appreciated Thanks!

 

The only major difference in them other than cosmetically on the inside and the wheels is the engine. The 03-04's have 287hp and 274 torque and a 6500 redline i think. The 05-on have 300hp and 260 torque, but have a higher redline. It doesen't matter which you get really, simple tuning will compensate either way you go.
As far as prices go they vary, just search on some websites and on other posts on the forums on the site. I got mine for under 24,000, and some have gotten theirs cheaper.

 

I know the hp difference but why is there a difference is it the tuning or maybe a better intake or exhaust system w/e it is its not much of a difference ive seen them going for under 20k but im assuming when the 07's come out the prices are gonna drop a bit more

 

Are you familiar with sentences? Subject, verb and predicate followed by a period. Pretty simple concept. Try it.

 

Probably just the internals of the engines. Just like every car manufacturer does year after year they raise power up just enough to stay competitive, but at the same time raising the bar for the other companies to try and match.

Yeah as time goes on and new models come out they will drop, just like every car does.Remember you only live once. Might as well buy what you want, you might not get a second chance to.
