Default 350Z vs. Skyline

What would you consider better: the 350Z or Skyline? Please base your decision on exterior, enterior, options and accesories, and performance. Thanks!

It all depends on your wants. We cannot keep comparing cars like this. Obviously the Skyline has higer performance then the 350z. Are you a track kind of person, if so then get the skyline. Are you keen on the looks of a car, if so, there is nothing in the price range of the Z that will compare. Anyone will tell you that. You are looking at the differentiation of close to a 90k skyline vs. a 30k 350Z. Is money a factor? These are the characteristics you need to look at.

As for me, I am personally into the looks of the car. I love the way that Z looks ever since I saw the concept. I am a car enthusiast, and for the price of the Z, nothing looks as good. I could’ve bought an Evo 8 or an Sti, or for god sakes even an SRT-4, but those cars in my opinion look like street racer cars (which I like, but they don’t have the appeal of a sports car). The interior has a cool look and is surprisingly roomy. Performance wise, the Z is awesome -- great handling, good speed. Are there cars faster, yes there always is, but you need to gauge whether that is truly a factor for you. Do you just like to race, or do you just like knowing that your car is faster then other people. For me, I don't go to the track, and I very rarely race on the street, so the performance is awesome.

Its all up to you man, good luck with your decision

It costs, I think, 70k to ship it to the US and get it registered and legal here. Something I read while browsing the net, not sure the truthfulness of it or not.
