a little history about me and my g35c. i bought it when i lived in st louis and found g35 clubs to be lacking. i met up with the gateway z club of st louis and was welcomed with open arms as the first g35. this is a club that has been operating for over 20 years and is 1 of the first recognized nationwide z clubs. so before you start on history lessons, im way ahead of you. now i understand that a 350z and g35 look different and are badged different but do you judge all books by their cover? are you also going to tell me that you dont allow datsun 1600s in your show because they are the REAL grandfathers of your car after all. what kind of car enthusiasm are you showing there? shermie made a very valid point about the lineage of our cars. the last time i checked, the g35 and 350z didnt accidentally end up being made of similar parts. they were designed together to target different audiences. now before you use that against me, a 300zx n/a and 300zx tt also target quite different audiences.
now i understand this is named a Z event, you dont have to repeat yourselves. does this mean if i drove a truck to a car show, they shouldnt let me enter? please dont embarass yourselves anymore by using technicalities as a defense. comparing a maxima to a 350z, g35 or g sedan is completely illogical. these 3 cars share the SAME base in case you forgot.
we've all put time and money into our cars and would like to show them to others. we also appreciate what other people have done and want to show that. no one is trying to take over this event or pad club stats, we just enjoy cars. your claim that any DIEHARD z enthusiast would never accept a g35 is a joke. i know tons of clubs all over the us that gladly accept either car.
in the end, id drive either car any day of the week.

But I'm bringing my G35 regardless.

come on guys
lets not start fighting between ourselves now.
no one is sayin one is better then the other. just keep in mind the way you sayings on the internet can be taken very differently from teh way you ment.
chuck is just upset with the whole situation and some people are just making it harder.
cant we let the topic go??
yes we are all goin to be there no matter wheter we register or not.

thanks alex. if i calm down, i can actually put together quite coherent thoughs. i just speak without thinking most of the time cause its more exciting that way lol.
relax chuck, they've got you all riled up over there. he just meant he likes his g over a z. we all prefer g's or we would've bought z's. doesnt mean he thinks the z is a lesser car.
ps you should've let me snuck my post in before you closed it heh.
edit: new topic - dan sucks. discuss.
