Why not look into a RX8 or S2000? I think both of those car will outperform the 350Z. But i got to admit, the 350Z is a nice looking car.

the rx8 and s2000 dont compete with 300 lbs of NA torque, true the car is a little on the fat side though.

I think it is a bad idea to buy a car without driving it first.

I think the S2000 and the RX8 is priced very closely to the New Z car. Overall balance and the weight of the car is more important then torque. I can't see the 350Z being a better balanced or a lighter car compared to the S2K or the RX8.

Plus the RX8 has the convenience of 4 doors. But I personally wouldn't buy a car without driving it first. Take your time and don't make a decision you will regret.

I'd rather have a s2000, RSX-R, Evo7, WRX STi over that 350Z. One reason is that i can't see that car being something you could buy alot of aftermarket parts for.....maybe im dead wrong but imagine that car on the front of our favorite magazines (turbo, import tuner, scc, etc.) i can't see it but thats my .02...

Anyone know how much the 350Z weighs? Both the S2K and RX8 are about 2800lbs. Is the new Z any lighter than the old one?
