Default Newbie on 350z.... please help

I tried to search button a few times, but I am just completely new on this forum, can someone give me some insight on these certain topics?

1. For the 03-04.5 vs 05 vs 06-08 350z (basically the first gen vs the second gen matter) what are the difference on the engine, chassis, and suspension? Does it worth the price for just because it's newer?

[I understand all 3 gens have different engines, but what are the main differences in-between the 3, specially the last 2 gen. It sounds so much attractive than the 1 gen engine]

[if you can provide some links, it will be amazing]


2. for a Coupe vs a Roadster, how much better is the handling, and what kind of stuff do I need to watch out for the roadster, and if I am going to modify the roadster in the future, will the chassis be able to live up the extra power?
(yes, for roughly how much more?)


3. Who can actually have the access of http://www.350zmotoring.com??
I really want to see the difference in-between each trim on that forum, but that site just seems to get stuck all the time....

Do this forum ahve the same thing at here? Other than that, do the US trim have more items compare to the Canadian trim?


thank you for your time

you want an 07-08 if you want more power from the engine, thats when the hr came out, as opposed to the slightly weaker de from 03-05. Then the rev up at 06.

I don't like the looks of convertibles, but if thats the look you are going for, go ahead. But it will be slower/not as nimble as a coupe, just because of the added weight and the structure

google magic my friend, 06 does not have the same motor as the 07-08, if you want performance go with the 07-08 coupe

Shucks, my 2003 350 Track Model has 500hp so I guess it must be slow as to the suggestions above. Oh well it makes me happy....

def want the 07-09 (yes the 09 roadster)
the roadster can take any power upgrade you want to throw at it... as far as heavier a little, but if you aren't a fat *** you will prob be equal with some of the coupe drivers.. lol
doubt you are going to be a pro racer and I don't know any that are on here.. the Z 03-09 is a great fast car.. they both can be modded to whatever you want

Hi

Would you please re-read my question again, what are the differences in-between the 3 engines? I believe that your "The Top 100 Common Questions" doesn't even cover that topic at all.


thanks
