I drove a G35 Coupe around a block in SF a few times the other night, and to be honest I think it's all bark and no bite. The thing was not nearly as fast as I though it was going to be. My friend's turbo Eclipse with 210 hp felt way faster than the G35.
Oh, and that clutch is RIDICULOUSLY heavy for a jap car.

I have to disagree, a good friend of mine has the 350 z touring stick and its fast as hell. I live in the city as well and I did a 360 when I hit second gear with the traction off turning onto van ess! This thing gets up quick, he has some nimso crap on it and its fast. I think its probally the best sports car for the price, when I drove it I was expecting it to be a piece of crap because he never gets on it. Boy was I wrong, they have that traction button for a reason! It wasnt hard at all to break loose. He told me he hit 140 on 680 but I wasnt there so I cant say for sure. His only complaint about the car is a problem with oil getting on an air guage or somthing like that which causes the car to bog out. This happend twice after getting on it hard, the dealer had it for 3 days and he hasnt had anymore problems. I would recomend this car, its deffantly fast and from what Ive seen it handles pretty nice too.
i took one for a test drive. i tried out the Z, a new Cobra, and a Z06..... the Z was way too small on the inside. plus it was lacking the power of the other two. the cobra was nice and i am a mustang fan. however the Z06 is like sitting in a rocket and figure with a supercharger your easily over 600 horse. plus its roomy in the Z06.

Great replies from everybody. So far from what I've see, there's no good reason not to get one. I drove it today and I have NO problem with it's speed. In fact, I was quite impressed. Then again, I'm coming from driving a 03' Avalanche. Also, I've seen VERY few in Vegas, so the oversaturation things isn't an issue. It seems as if more people in Vegas drive SUV's, minivans and honda's.
I'm not buying this to race. It'll be a daily driver, and with the traffic in Vegas, There will hardly ever be a time where I can really gun it. Needless to say, it's good to have the power available and I think the body style is pretty badass. As far as the funky colors...SOrry.. I'm a fan of the titanium. It's easy to deal with in case of chips, dents, etc, plus I won't need to wash it every day!

Great tip.
I think I may just have to do that. BTW...Are you going to the Vegas webmaster get together?

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
I test drove it two times and almost purchased it, but I wanted the roadster. They want 40,000 for one of those cars and a house was my first priority.
I hate how you have to get the tape deck with the car no matter what model you get.
I've always had a soft spot for the Z cars.. My first car was a 1981 280ZX. In 1994 I got a new twin-turbo Z. Probably one of my favorite cars of all time.
The only thing I hate about living in Brazil is that all the cars suck. You can get a nice car here, but you'll pay 50% import tax and you'll probably get car-jacked.
I'm going to get one as soon as I get back in the States.
Dont buy a 350-Z....buy a G35! They have the same engine pretty much except the G35 looks hotter and I believe it is lighter also hence faster.

I have the G35. The traction control thing sucks crap. If you punch it, the thing kills the first to second shift. Click it off and the car is fun as hell. No trunk and no backseat to speak of but your choice is smaller still so shouldn't be a complaint for you. I like it, just have not fallen in love with it yet.
I test drove a 350Z a while back and drove the crap out of it...I'm sure the the salesmen pissed himself. Anyway, it's not the fastest car out there, but it is quick, a lot of fun to drive, and handles a heck of a lot better than the too slow RX8.
RX8's suck. as a replacement for the FD3S (third-gen RX-7) their an absolute joke... underpowered, no forced induction options and kinda ugly in comparison. the FD3S was a work of art..
