As a mater of fact I was hoping that zeroday would compare GT2 to its GT3 and tell me how one has better handling due to its suspension, and how GT3 had few extra ponies and how the chassis was different.


And overall - thank you all for posting - I must admit that not one Pearson posting in this tread and owning G was angry. MY.02 $.

I have to admit that I have received that 'snobby' shrug from quite a few G35 drivers while in my Z. Now whether they are actually shrugging or whether it is myself realizing that they're driving a slightly more expensive car...I can't tell.

Thats because no Z owners have said Z > G35 unlike some of the G owners here who claim G35 > Z.

It says that you are a Z owner. Let me ask you, can you take on BOXTER? or S boxter?

How about M3?

Please tell me ?

Boxster: $42,600
Boxster S: $51,600
M3: $47,100

My Z: $30,800

Now why would I compare my car to one that is $12,000+ more than mine?

Truthfully I don't even understand what you're asking me. Speak English much?

Boxters only have 258hp, they're not fast at all just more expensive. As far as the M3 goes , I have three friends that own M3 95, 99, 03. I know I can smoke the 95 & 99 stock with my z. as far as the 03, I can't smoke it with the Z, but I have a red 97 Eclipse GST heavily modded that smoke the 03 M3 so bad that his expensive little engine blew up. He tried to say that it was from the *** wippin i gave him, it was some type of problem with all the 03 M3 engines. Any way I was stuck on getting an M3 until that happened, I think I saved my self exactly 24K and got a better car. I bet you that if we go to an empty lot and he parks his blue M3 next to my pikespeak white track model Z, the eyes would leave that 59K car and slide over to the 35K car.

By the way I got the whole race on tape and after the race when we had to tow it back to the shop.

Well now that you are so competitive please put yourself in the G35 driver seat and figure out if you can take a brother car with only 10hp advantage on you?

I said and am still claming – it’s up to the driver. Win on g35c is never guaranteed. It’s up to a driver.

Though I would race you on the track for the fun, I would expect to lose. Maybe I'd get lucky though and you'd miss a shift or spin the tires a bit too much
I posted about a real situation that happened with me at a track here in MD. You live in Florida and I have never met you, why would you think I am referring to you??

STOP FIGHTING, BROTHERS IN ARMS!!!

The G and Z are both excellent cars for different reasons. They both have their place:

The Z is an all-out sports car, no question. An excellent performance-focused two seater speed demon.

The G is a refined sports coupe, a kinder, softer vehicle with some fancier parts and details. But, it is bigger and heavier, with 7-less horses.

Both cars have their place! It all depends on what you are looking for. There is no reason for one to hate the other, as with having either you have a great value and an undeniably sweet ride.

Exactly.

Whenever I drive past a Z, I always give and recieve the nod of the head. I respect the Z but I love my G. I can't be impartial, but I will admit the Z is a nice looking car.

interesting; seems to me you were the one stirring up trouble, just as you are with this ignorant post. i'm sorry your ego is tied up in your car so much; you should really consider growing up.
