Hi there,
Although not owning a 350Z at the moment I can comment on the TT vs other cars having owned a selection including 2.5 Boxster, 2.7 Boxster 987 Boxster S, M Coupe, VX 220. At the moment I own a MK1 TT Sport and drive and performance wise it's not far behind my last car the Boxster S. Really depends what you want from your car, the TT in this spec offers good straight line performance (0-124 in 23.5 secs) with good handling. The real fun is in the wet which doesn't seem to alter it's grip at all. Build quality is the best of any car I have owned by some margin and this includes a number of company cars including Volvo S60s and BMW 5 Series. Thing is I paid £21k for this car pre-registered, delivery miles and at that point they make a lot of sense. The Z appeals to me as a convertible as it has more sole than similar stuff e.g Z4, SLK 280/350. For me one of the crucial things in a sports car is noise and this is where the TT fails. Ultimately though in the right spec they are not the hairdressers cars you might think.
