Default Best Looks: 350Z, Supra, or S14?

Disregarding engines, suspension, price, warranty, or reliability issues....this question is based on Exterior and Interior looks/design ONLY. If you could have any combination of aero kit, wheels, etc(or keep it stock if you think think it looks best that way); Would you own a 350Z, S14 Silvia, or MKIV supra? Why do you think your choice looks better than the other?
Also, if you know what wheels, kit, etc that you would pick on that car, list that too..

I think the Supra has a hood that's too long and a hatch that's proportionally shorter (not a good thing to me). I haven't had much interest in the Silvias, but I think the 350Z looks the best IMO.

Edit: I prefer the stock body, but rim selection depends on color of the car.

Stock i'd say the Z but I would take a supra with either a top secret wide body kit or an AB flug widebody over a Z in any form.

yea, I am getting one of these cars...well, actually I just sold my S14 to get either a 350Z, G35 or a Supra...but i think the G35 might be a little too luxurious for me, but I still really like it. But right now, I am liking the Z and supra the best.

Either way I go, I perfer a body kit. I just think it feels out both cars more, and it also sets it apart from some...there arent many modded supras or Z's in my area.

does anyone have any pics of a Z and supra together, side by side???

this is subjective. so why don't you grow some ***** and learn to trust your own taste. besides what do you expect ppl on a z board to say. you should post to a general sports car forum if you want a meaningful sample.

Looks wise I'd go with the Z but the Supra comes in sooooo close at 2nd place that they might as well both be first in my mind. The Z's looks come alive with a body kit while the Supra looks incredible stock. I would only put a kit on a Supra if it's a wide body kit. It depends on what type of look you want. The Supra has the long sexy look, while the Z has the Porsche lines.

I think I will probably be one of the few people who prefer the looks of the S14 over the Z and the Supra. The Z and the Supra will probably get more looks than an S14, but the S14 is a bit more understated and elegant than the other two cars and looks good from any angle. The Z looks weird from some angles (and awesome from others), and I think a Supra just looks big and bloated, and the factory wing is a bit over the top. The S14 looks like a mini-R33 Skyline to me, and when I had mine I even had a few people ask me if it was a Skyline and that isn't a bad thing in my book.

if everyone followed that logic nobody would buy a 350Z and everyone would buy a STI/EVO8

well actually lol the Z doesnt belong in that category.. 2 total diff animals, comparing a car that is 2003-2004 to a mid 90s car. But in any event, i would chose the supra. I owned a 1995 w/ 20k in mods only 60k miles.. i love my Z but if i didn't have to worry about getting 9k if my car was stolen or crashed and it wasn't so low, i woulda kept the supra, however, i love my Z and im very happy w/ it so it was a nice choice from goin supra to Z

Hell, i'd get an SRT-4 and save me 10 grand... for mods. But looks is a big Factor. Although, i agree that looks should not be the sole purpose or basis for buying a car... TEHO

Reason i said EVO/STI is because those are atleast quality cars... I could never see myself buying a SRT-4.. I was really considering a STI except soon as i sat in a 350Z i knew it was the car for me. Perfect fit.. Looks great. Fast enough.. Fun to drive...

But ya i guess if all u care about is straight line performance than SRT-4 is best value
