i thought the car drove great, esp for the $$, but i think the front end is kinda awkward looking. the g35 is a much better looking car imo, haven't driven it though.

For those who say this thing is slow I have to go for the standard response of "Operator Error"
The loose nut behind the wheel is the factor that makes this slow. I drove the hell out of the one I had and I will tell you that anyone who calls it a pig is just dead wrong.
And OMAR my god if you didn't run circles in you NSX we would all have to laugh.

William, Is your friend a good driver? Would you let him track your car? You have to try one yourself especially the 6 speed TRAX package then see for yourself.
compare this to anything in the same price point or even quite a bit more expensive and I will bet that dollar for dollar and performance will tell you it is a good one to choose.

Joeseph,

I have a 2004 350Z Roadster.......absolutely love it! The roadster rides and shifts much better than the coupe. Don't know why, but it is very true. MIne is stock right now, VERY QUICK! I'm very happy with it. It's kind of a heavy car, but it's very tossible, can turn off the TCS and get it sideways very easily. When I want to "tear it up", go a little crazy, and burn my tires, I take the 350Z. I still love my F Car, but I'm much more relaxed driving the Z.....top goes up and down EVERY TIME, and it is much cheaper to repair..... :-) Anyway, I am very happy with my purchase, I paid 33,000.00 for a convertible, six speed 300 hp's....automatic drop top with a glass window that folds under a hard teanua cover.........it's a very fun car. Absolute best bang for the buck........S2000 is nice also, but very ugly IMHO.

Nissan blew it in the styling department. I'll stick with my '72's until they make the new one look like something more than a streamlined jelly bean with the ends cut off.

A friend from mine from my office & I tried to take one out to the DE @ TWS today. They were all booked up for the weekend but had a chance to take it out for the "very short" parade lap at lunch time. From what he said the is slow than the older models & heavier than it should be, the term "pig" came alot on our drive back to Houston. I was kind of disappionted myself about the car. Maybe Nissan will get the bugs out later.

BUTT UGLY in my opinion. But that goes for just about every 2003 / 2004 Nissan vehicle made. The looks alone are a big turn off for myself. That would keep myself from purchasing one. The last Z car i really likes looks wise had to be the 260Z.

Just my 2 cents worth.

I did a search here for 350z and not much came up.
I was wondering if any one here has one and what they think of it?
