I see the big name companies in Japan (Amemya, Amuse to name a couple) are running Z's more than the mighty Evo if you search YouTube for "Touge Battle".
I asked my girlfriend her thoughts about me getting an Evo, and she bluntly says "oh my god no, that car is ugly", and then I asked her about the Z, and she says "I love that car, I am going to buy one!". I tell her no, because its my car, she can only ride in mine! Z = sex appeal.

hahahaha you think people talk bad about the 350?! Not nearly as much as evos or sti...from my experience. I 've heard people bring up the Z in convos all the time and about 98% agree its a HOT car! Balanced performer, and when they say its not as fast as it could be...the majority opinion is...SO WHAT...pour some money into it and make it fast. I have heard relentless bashing on evos and sti...trust me 350's have it pretty good

Sometimes, despite the four doors, I feel like the 350Z is the more practical car with more amenities. Maybe I'm just weird.

A MazdaSped6 is a maybe, but otherwise, not really.

A stock 07 Z is capable of doing under 13.3 on the 1/4 mile.(Veetec got a 13.3 with clutch problems.) Now if I'm not mistaken thats a little bit faster then an STi.

It's my daily driver/track car in the making. I've lost to a few Evos/sti's in the straightline...but those same cars couldn't touch me in the twisty's. If you want to talk drifting...well...I'd just pick up an old 240sx and build the poo out of it...it'll tool on em all :P
LOL@the "STIs/EVO's couldnt touch me in the twisties" comment. Two of the best handling cars on the market..
