I cant decide between an e36 m3 and a 350z. ive driven both cars but I was with a salesman so I couldnt realy get on them. Which car do you think performs better, and is a more functional daily driver? Style wise its a toss up, I like the more radical look of the z, but at the same time I like the sleeper look of the m3.

M3 is a great car!
Having said that, its not as sporty as the Z.

M3 has more room, back seat...
Z is better in the turns, and more fun to drive.
M3 has great handeling, but not quite Z handeling.

M3 better to go get groceries, but harder for wife to drive. Go figure.
M3 clutch is harder.

Hope this helps.

Anything specific?
Just ask!

Ive heard just the opposotie. Everyone is telling me that the 350z doesnt have the handling of the m3. As you probably know the m3 is known as one of the best handling cars made. You do own both cars so you probably know better then me. This is too tough of a decision. I wish I could have both like you.

OK, if Randy's posting his S2000, I might as well do the same....unfortunately, I can only claim the car in the foreground, not the one behind it.

Thanks! I'll be down for a ride as soon as my forks get back...they're @ Kyle Racing in CA getting revalved. Once I got a Penske rear shock, I had to get the front end upgraded to match. Here's what my RC looks like @ the moment...

I am looking at getting into the market for one of these cars once I sell my truck. They are so beautiful. How much is one of those Touring model's going to run me?

It's pretty close. My last Z (TT) was pearl and this PPW is pretty close to it. I think the PPW is a little bit 'lighter' in color than the pearl. You'd just have to see it. It's a very impressive color in person.

PPW is the first color I saw in person. I generally don't like white cars, but I was floored. For some reason, white works really well w/ the Z's lines IMO.

It doesn't have the metalflake of the pearl, which should make body shops around the country very happy!

If you were to look at it in bright sunlight you can see that there are some types of 'flakes' in the paint. I'm not sure if they are metal or not but I can see these colors in it (light blue, pink, purple). You'll have to look really close to see them but they are there. All in all, it's a great color and I'm completely happy with it.

I'm sure you'll like it. I was completely floored when I saw it in person. Just do a 'google' search for "pikes peak white 350z" under the 'image' section. You're sure to find some decent pics of it.
