Great pic...thanks! As of now, I'm leaning towards the G <flame suit on>, but that pic makes me appreciate the Z a lot more. I'll need to see them both in person. Odd how the licence plat on the G will hang down below the rear bumper? My curent lease isn't up till May, so I'll have some time to compare and wait for all of the hype to die down. The Z should be in showrooms (albeit sold) anyday now. Can't wait to see.

If you notice, the Z is about 2 or 3 feet closer than the G. This creates an illusion of the Z being the bigger, wider car. The Z might be wider but not that much... I love both cars, I'm having a hard time deciding between the two. Each car is aimed at two completely different markets. Z is a pure adrenaline sportscar, while G is class and elegance. Probably going to go with the G because I'm an old man now, and I went thru thru my sportscar phase (high insurance, tickets) back in the early eighties... Either way, youre getting a great car!!!

Both cars really are great, but I prefer the G35c's rear over the 350Z's - just looks better IMHO. I love the front of the Z though, much more than the coupe.

Well said, and I totally concur. Although, I do wish Nissan had intergrated the reverse & turn lamps up in the tailight or plates area.

After looking at both cars again, I have came to the idea that the exhaust tips on both cars are TOO BIG! Would that be considered ricey?

A half inch less in diameter would probably make a cleaner look, with it screaming at you.......... hey look im 16.

Just ordered my Z today, due in mid Dec. I only have one very minor complaint about the Z. The antenna. I really wanted to see the antenna built into the rear windshield rather than sticking out of the left rear qtr. There are some pictures of pre-productions Z's out there that do not have an antenna and I think it looks better, more sophisticated.
