It's a 350Z forum, so get the 350 They are about the same price, you can get great deals on both (dealer in CA had a new 08 Enthusiast for like $24,500 or something stupid this week).

Drive both and I think you'll agree the 350 is a much more fun car to drive and just as quick as a mustang but a whole lot more satisfying.

with that said, go with 350z.

perhaps you should research the vehicles and do a comparison based on your wants/needs and not an opinion.

sounds like you are going to rush into a decision. you seem excited, and you sound like you have to figure this out RIGHT NOW.

news flash, you don't, take your time, research the car, see if its right for you, drive it, drive other cars..

last but not least, know that there are a ton out there that aren't selling and this magical one time deal you think you found actually isnt the only good deal out there. people arent buying, its a good time to wait it out and find the right car.

I would say that you should definitely drive both before you make this big of a decision. What type of price are they giving you? Keep in mind that they are probably dying to get the Z off of the lot because 1.) it is an 08 and 2.) because it is winter and I can't see a high demand for a RWD sports car in CT. You definitely have the upper hand in my opinion.

After almost two years of owning my 07 350, I still drive it almost everyday even though I own a daily driver.

Best bet is Enthusiast model. best bang for buck.

You decide in your time frame. Screw the dealer. They need you more than the other way.

Personally, I'd arrange a loan with local bank or credit union. walk into dealer with financing and negociate only price.
