Question thinking of buying

Hello all,
I am thinking of buying a 350z. I currently drive a 95 stealth twin turbo and had a couple questions. Firstly, how do the stealth turbo and 350z compare on acceleration and handling. Secondly, what kind of maintenance/repair costs should I expect (my stealth requires toooo much work). Finally, since I live in Canada can i drive a 350z in winter/snow without wrecking it (my stealth is cannot be winter driven) ? Any comments or tips welcome by me as I am a noob to these cars, ty in advance

I am from Canada too also looking to buy a Z if I can find one for the right price.
Depending on the year and trim you are looking for there are different problem areas to look for.
There are a lot of threads on the winter/snow thing ( ppl are gonna tell you to search )
Get some research under your belt, I've been looking for a while and knowledge is the key.
First thing would be choose a price range, then a year and trim. Look in the sticky thread.
Main thing for me though is the import taxes, tax on top of tax :|

Yes, luckily you got a nice newb to help you with your first response. Don’t ever post a question about snow, ever. That topic has been beaten to a bloody smear; it’s not even a horse carcass anymore. I don’t know much about the Stealth, but for some reason I want to say the Stealth is faster in a straight line, but the Z handles better. Someone on here can give you a better idea I'm sure.

You wont like the 350Z. You need more power. Have you looked at the RSX?
