I just love cars (particularly Chevrolet products) and the Z06 was a retirement gift to myself. It will stay with me probably forever...so much power...I baby it whenever I take it out...you can feel the car just wanting to go off on its own...I don't drive it much at all...I will when I fully retire in a few years and my home in the hills is completed.

I got the 350Z as my weekend fun car just like the many others I've had...I've been a Z fan since the days of the 240/260/280 and have always wanted one but just never got around to doing it.

I can only give you pros and cons which, are entirely my opinion, and definitely independent of each car...not fair to compare them to one another...

Pros:

Z06:

Fit & finish
Raw power on tap
Torque
Instrument panel layout
Driveability...particularly the gear shifting
Depth of the Millenium Yellow color
Engine accessability
F-1 tires
Stereo

350Z:

Price: I paid $27,044 before TTL
300 HP from a V6 is awesome
Fit & finish
Love the Magnetic Black
06 wheels look awesome
Instrument panel
RPM courtesy warning
TPMS

Cons:

Z06:
No XM satellite radio
Wish it had wheels that only fit the Z06...there are too many camaros, firebirds, and some others with Z06 wheels running around

350Z:
Wish the tires were wider to prevent curb rash
A rear spoiler option from Nissan that is more aggresive
Would like to see the antenna on the roof
No XM satellite radio option on the base model
Would love just a little more exhaust note
Does not come with floor mats, cargo mat, or wheels locks

Cheers, Z
