I have a feeling Im going to get flamed here. I was looking for a FAQ or a Sticky. What advantages engine and transmission wise, does the G have over the Z? (03-05)
Is the manual transmission the same? Are the pistons, seals, rods, cams, etc. the same?
Thanks

 

A cleaner looking roofline (personal opinion)...and a rear seat.

Slightly better service dept....loaners.

 

+1 on the rear seat but you learn to live without it.

 

you just named every part that is the same lol

 

Baller Status!!! jk

 

hehehe.. thanks guys. those are some advantages for sure.
how come when i drive a G that it shifts smoother than the z if they have the same transmission?

 

placebo effect. That's what.


That being said I agree with the aforementioned: Baller status, LED taillights, Sexy as all hell compared to the Z (when done correctly), service kicks *** (red carpet treatment here in Denver anyway), and loaner cars for 4 years/50k miles.

 

nothing..

 

G gets called first on alphabetical lists....and there is a Spot named after it

 

it has a backseat, that is it

 

Baller Status? Because you paid 6 grand more for it? ... OEM LED taillights are on the 2006 Zs and it's a easy swap for the 03-05 Zs. I guess G drivers have their fan boys as well. Thank you, come again.

BTW, your SN is ZFreak yet you own a G???

 

Correction .... 4 yr/60K Miles

 

Mechanically, they are about the same. Interior is obviously better and more luxurious. Service and warranty is the major difference. As others have stated, you get longer warranty and a loaner.

 

for 06:
-rear seat
-luxury oriented interior
-bluetooth option
-better resale
-longer warranty
-loaners

thats all i can think of off the top of my head

 

Think what you will.. but we're always cruising together...
Around here it's definately noticeable.. the Z as the performance/race oriented sports 2 seater and the G as pimp/baller luxury sport coupe.

As my friend Mike (leemik on the z boards) quoted.. "My Z only gets Guys' attention!"






Like an Acura to a Honda - Lexus to a Toyota.. in some ways... Not saying it's a bad thing.. just some people have different tastes. I was actually looking at the Z before the G. But the G just had that mature professional look to me.

 

Longer wheelbase of the G makes it a little more stable and it's got a backseat, besides that...............nothing.

 

The G is Heavier

 

Yup.... it is L-O-A-D-E-D with all the goodies standard!

 

the g has a more luxurious interior. leather, aluminum trim, longer wheel base, and a back seat. under the skin they are basically the same. the g more luxury oriented. the z is more performance oriented. depends on what you want. the z will have more options in terms of aftermarket mods and relatively cheaper mods. the g is more expensive to maintain. service at the dealer is great, but you pay a premium for it.

 

what lip is that? Sweet ride btw.

I think women love red sports cars, i get nothing but compliments from everyone on mine. Ive had girls just love the car! they dont care to hear about it but they love the look.
