Get a black SS, with black rims, H/C combo and nitrous, game over.

If not that than get the Z.

Two hot cars, but the Z looks better. Z >Sky >Solistice. I know you had the sky as a choice, but hey they're almost the same car.

*not my cars. Z is from here. Solstice from the web.

Edit I believe that solstice may have an LS motor.

STI insurance is up the wazoo. Like CRAZY lot, and I have no idea why, clean slate and all, it would cost 6 grand a year to insure. Stupid NJ. Found a nice Camaro, and Ws6, but I was thinking, why go back when I can get an 07 Z? Heh. I just have the fact that its N/A.

sky looks prettygood but it's still slow and it's.. saturn.. the EVO is a brick but it's fast, the other 2 are american cars so you're ****ed on reliability, i think the choice seems obvious ;x

Slow? I don't know about that, a 14.2 in the 1/4 seems awfully familiar

And I don't think the trans am/camaro ever had any major reliability issues like the Z.

However, I will definitiely say the '07 Z. As someone said, sex on wheels.

The Z is definitely a sexier car than all the other ones you had up there. Chicks dig it.

not to me, i ran a 13.6 stock ;x

Z has not had reliability problems either, 03 and early 04 had transmission reviews but they were fixed and under warranty, other than that and the tire wear issues nothing past 04 has had any reliability problems, and i've never heard of a camaro or trans am w/o some sort of problem whether it be minor or major, it's cheaply made, your paying for an engine.

Buy a WS6 and I bet you never look at imports again, I see it all the time. It even happened to me. Remember, stock WS6 have gone 12.8.... while putting $5000 into a 350z would barley break out of the 14s.

Hmmmm... WS6 or Poniac GTO.... Decisions, decisions.... More to life than straight-lining a sled... Get the Z or STI.

True, but straightlining is where everything goes down. Track, streets, whatever. Plus, nothing can beat the sound of those beasts. But the Z looks gorgeous. Decisions!!!!!

Look into a new 06 GTO. I've driven it and i really liked it. 6.0 LS2 V8 and 0-60 in 4.7 aint bad either.

Transmission problems, engine oil consumption, tire feathering...yep, we've got all the major components covered

And we all know how hard it is to get below 14.00 in this car. The irs is just not cooperative when it comes to 1/4 racing.

However, even with all the problems, 350z > all :P

$5000 for 13's? Maybe if you have the automatic convertible with the top down and a clogged cat.

$5000 in a Z to get it into 12's, yet you'd need the same amount of money for a WS6 to handle as well as a Z, so I'd say it's even.
