I'm actually moving BACK to Germany!!! I just came to the states to finish up my college edukashion ;o) So the Z will be more of a "permanent" aquisition. I was able to locate a new 350Z in Germany on the internet (www.autoscout24.de) for €25.000
One guy I spoke with here in Tampa said that the Euro spec Z has an in line 6 and the US Z has a V6...ummmm, somebody PLEASE enlighten me

LOL....I dunno why people get that confused ALL THE TIME!!! In Germany we drive on the same side as they do here in the US! To my knowledge the only countries that drive on the other side are UK, Australia and Asia

Asthetically (sp?) you'll probably have a different rear bumper with a wider license plate holder, orange tinted turn signals, headlight washers, and side turn signals below the side Z emblems. You'll probably also have more options unlike the US model. This could be seen with people having leather in what appears to be a Track model or people with what look like Tourings with Brembos.
On the interior, you'll have a choice of two-tone and a few more electronics. You can have a phone options and radio controls on the steering wheel if the Z is equipped with it. Parking sensors and rear view cameras are options on the Japapense (JDM) models.

A friend of mine goes to UF, so it's all good. Once again, thanks a lot for your info though! The owner of a G35 coupe was the one who said the stuff about the engine...an Automatic G35 I might add, one that was sponsored by mommy and daddy

Though I was highly disapointed by that movie, I do know what you're talkin about...I could look into getting an RHD 350Z from the UK once I'm in Germany, dunno how well that would go over with the German officials though since they're pretty strict on the stuff they allow or don't allow to be driven on their streets. I'm sure some...better yet MOST of the aftermarket parts I'll be purchasing will be illegal to have, not like I really care! Speaking of which...I keep reading up on Nitrous and specifically NOS, I've seen them mention something about hidden setups for V6 applications...do you have any knowledge about that cause I'll need to HIDE everything as good as possible from "authorities", I'll have to keep the WILD and CRAZY lookin stuff to a minimum

I'm also probably going to be moving to Germany in about 6 monthes and I would love to buy a Z when I go.
I want to know which Z performs better (Speed and Handling), the US of the Euro model?

There would be no difference in speed or handling, well I suppose a minor weight difference due to number of toys, but not what you would notice.
And there is no problem registering a left hand drive vehicle in the UK, usual small changes such as showing mph on the speedo and I think indicator colours.
A friend of mine when living in Holland, bought his car in Germany (cheaper) and registered it in UK (cheaper). Car tax's in Holland are horrendous.
It is a bit of a pain driving on the other side, mainly overtaking as you can not see properly to pull out.

I'd probably say that the Euro Z performs and handles better than a US model simply because of the speed limit, or lack thereof on certain parts of the Autobahn!
