That's entirely up to you. Because they're so close in price, it just comes down to personal preference. I'm gonna be fickle and say I just don't like the headrests in the G35C, they're smallish and remind me of older cars IMO.

I'm struggling with the decision of going with a Z Performance vs a 6mt without premium pkg G35. The cost difference is $1600, and for that extra money on the G35, I get leather, longer warranty, Brembos, etc.

I really like the Z's looks, especially in the blue. The G35 is nice too, but there isn't a color I want really bad (probably go with black, but I've had a string of black and want a change). The G35 is probably a better buy for me, and a bit more practical, but I just like the look of the Z slightly better.

I figure I'll try to order in December, so I've got a month. I'm going to go look at a G35 again when they start coming in locally. When I sat in the preproduction, the driver seat didn't fit me as well as the Z. That may end up deciding for me.

Both seem to be very good values to me.

I think maybe the G35C is cheaper because of the interior. Have you been in one before? I went to an auto show in Anaheim and saw one, and boy...it's not pretty. The 350 has a really nice futuristic look to yet. Whats especially cool is the 3 main guages and then the oil, batter and etc ones. The 35 has the guages all in one box, and, the inner appeal just kind of sucks. Its like a half assed luxury cockpit. Although very functional, it's just not as exciting. However, the looks on the outside are killer. Especially pictures in the magazines nd whatnot, the car looks fantastic.

Actually, I liked the interior with the exception of the stupid clock. Everything else, including the leather, was nice.

I would consider the G35c if the manual was cheaper. I'm planning to get an Enthusiast Z so the G35c (I only count the manual) is more than what I would like to spend.

Does anyone know why the G35C's engine has 7 less HP than the 350's? Is it an exhaust issue or does the G35C engine have a lower compression ratio?
I'm sure it is intake/exhaust differences. I think I even read that in one of the magazines.
