G Coupe or 350Z
#31
I had both the 350Z and now the G35C. I totalled the Z and always liked the lines of the G35C better. I bought the Z before the coupe was out so when I had the opportunity I changed. It comes down to personal preference because driving wise, there isn't a whole lot of difference beyond a little weight dis-advantage and the nicer interior of the G. I liked the cloth seats and less sound deadening in the Z but like the dash/interior design better on the G.
Either way you'll have a nice fun car.
I also wanted the S2K but at 6'4", it wasn't a viable option. Have you thought about a used elise?

I'm just thrilled to hear they drive the same. I love the way the z handled.

i'd go with the 08 coupe, but if it's going to be a "3rd fun car", why not something like a 240 (S14)? Or a used NSX, Evos, etc. In my opinion, Those are a lot more fun to build and less expensive to mod. No "new car syndrome" so you can actually drive them the way you'd want to. G coupe or Z are both great cars... I love them, but unless you drop some serious money on top of already higher-than-average price tag, they're just a fun daily driver. Which you already have (the sedan). I can't speak for the new G coupes but if you get the current coupe, eh..... i think it's a waste of money. i'd rather go find a killer deal on a new M3 (not the new models... older gen but stashed in some dealer's inventory with a red tag ) Personally, I'd try to score a nice preowned nsx or a rx-7 (FD) and trade the G sedan in for the newer sedan whenever the wallet gives the green light.

Since it's your "3rd fun car" I'd say go with the Z roadster. Two-seaters are impractical if it's your only vehicle, but that's not the situation here. Why not take it a step further and get the drop top too...
