Default Z or SX

Hey guys i got a quick question.Which should i get a 97-98 240sx or a 03+ 350z.Im really attatched to both cars and i really cant decide which one i should choose.Im only 16 and im hopefully gettin a job this summer.I dont mind working my *** off for the car.I just wanna know which ones better for me.The 240 is pretty rare in my area for a 97+ and z's are too but im willing to travel.
Thanks take care.

i started out on a 240sx awesome. Your looking at a 97+ 240 which is the kouki style which are harder to find. both RWD. Just dont wrap it around a tree or put anyone in a coma. welcome to the forum.

I would start with the 240 and build it up bro. I started with an Integra and built it. I always thought I'd keep that awesome car forever but it was totalled in an ice storm. I was 16 when I got it too and now I'm 21.

Besides that fact that
you do not have a job.
Do not have the money to buy a car and
are not old enough to buy a car, I think this is going well.

I had a 97 240sx that I built. KA-T is the way to go. Greddy makes a great street turbo kit for it. Takes more than a summer job to maintain though. I maxed out my credit card building it and ended up having to sell it to pay off the turbo kit lol

Don't be ridiculous, S is higher in the alphabet than R, thus meaning the GTS is better.

Shoot youre doing better than me. I had a 1980 civic when I was 16. Then I saved up and got a 91 integra near the end of HS. Then finally got a 240sx while I was in college and modded the hell out if it until someone hit it a few months after I graduated college. Its just now that I am 23 that I have enough cash for a Z (I bought a used one).

Wait, what were we talkign about? Oh ya...get the 240sx if you can afford it and do all the work yourself, its a great learning experience! I worked hard for all my toys and despite the tragedy that befell my 240, I am proud of everything I have done.
