Default I'm torn!

I cant decide which is better so I decided to poll and ask people what they would do. 350z and a Nismo 370z or mod out my 350z?
I will be saving up for the next year or two and at the end either mod out my 350z, or place a large down payment on a NISMO 370z. it's a tough choice!

i vote mod the 350. with a decent amount of mods, you not only have a car that will outperform a nismo 370, but will truly be personalized to your tastes, and look and be different from every other Z out there. just keep it quality and clean, please!

oh, and if you mod, and don't already have one, invest in a daily beater car....for while the Z is down for mods, and for when you don't want to have to drive the Z.

If you've got the coin, I'd get the Nismo 370. But then I like having mine stay stock reliable.

Having two cars means twice the insurance premiums.

Having a modded 350Z means one insurance payment, a unique car, something more fun.

lol to getting a porsche...Youll need to spend over 85k to get one that out performs the 370z..the nismo will widen the gap even more with that extra 20hp..able to fend off the cerarra on that top end speed...Its a fact the 370 out performs a cayman S and the Cerarra...why would you get one...the body design of both of those porsches are uglier as well so its a uh...fail fail situation with those two choices.

I say wait for next years 370z (when the nismo will be in in other words) and sell the 350. I wouldnt wait 2 years though....thats way to long.

I agree with getting a beater... and modding your current 350Z. Make the beater an S10 P'up.

I've found that moddin my car keeps me tuned in to it.. Hell, never had a car before that you could truly eat out of the engine bay. I mean I kept clean cars before - but trying to keep up with the local Z owners raises the bar for all of us.. and seeing someone else's vision come to life makes their effort worthwhile to Them. So what would buying a new cookie cutter 370Z get you except square zero... If you think about it - there is literally no end to the modding of the one you got and once the moddin begins you can never get your money back out of it. So make the one you got a permanent fixture - holding on to the modding bug.

Make your 350Z of today, be the highly prized 240Z of yesterday... and drive it till you die.
