Default 350Z Vs 997 which one?

Im heading to RA (Road America) for the "March of the Dimes" Driving experience oct 5th.. (My work sponsors it). my question is simple if you had the choice what would you take as a car? My 350Z.. Or a 997 Carrera C2..
My Z has some nice mods to it and the Porsche would be stock (with the 19's) but its still a Porsche and also would not have to beat on my car.. Not sure which one to take....

What would you do?

I drive my car everyday, why not get the chance to drive something new?

if your only mods are the ones you have in your signature the porche should still be faster. It's a tough choice though. I'd go with the porche.

Tough choice bro It looks like your Z has some nice suspension mods and may be more fun on the track but then again it's not a Porsche.

You own both, which one do you think would be better suited for the track? Which one can you live with tearing up tires, brakes and clutch?

^^ crashing it would suck even if it were a work car, although id still rather crash a work car and be covered that way.. lol

soundz like Porsche is taking a strong lead here..

my thought of taking my car is that i wont go up for this kinda racing oftern so it would be neat to take my Z.. however alot of my buddies will be up there driving Z4M's and M3's etc.. and the 997 would take then down alot easier.. if you follow.. lol

Definitely the 997. How could you not want to be in this?

I would want the chance to drive my car on a track over another car.

also a modded suspension should put you ahead of the game.

If it were me I would drive the Porsche 997. Cause it's not every day that I would get the opportunity to drive a Porsche 997. But off course you could be in a totally different situation and have alot more opportunity's than me.
But I'm sure you will have fun not mater what your choice maybe.

Have Fun!

If you ar going to be just running what you have the 997 will be the best bet

If you can get access to some light weight wheels with some R compund tires....you would have to take the 350Z.


Quick Reply: 350Z Vs 997 which one?
