The G Man Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Rachael Can't comment on the 350, but if it's anywhere near a 370 then it's an awesome car. loads of grunt and torque, something I was sadly missing in my old RX8 I'm just starting to get to grips with my car and it is mindbogglingly fast and sounds the business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello , cons slower than you 20vt might cost you more to run tuning potentional unless FI is minal compared to your 20vt not that fast Pros Looks awesome Sounds awesome drives awesome gives you a special feeling when you drive it v6 fairly realible Thats all I can think of atm. TBH your better off driving one as not everyone likes the 350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachyp22 Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Lol.. U actully checked lap times! Legend.. Doesn't seem to be much differant if I'm honest.. I think I'd miss the turbo if I was to get a 350... How do you find practicality with the 350? Thanks for the advice so far, keep it coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I would say. Cons Interior not to everyone's taste Limited storage space Expensive petrol bills if pushed quite hard A pig to drive in the snow Bose unit on the GT not the best Front bumper and bonnet prone to stonechips Pros Effortless cruising, doesn't need to be thrashed Very comfortable car to drive, suits both short and very tall drivers Japanese reliability Fairly rare Great value for money Sound great and look even better Great selection of after market parts Brilliant community spirit Oh, and welcome to the forum Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilMH Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Tough choice. I have driven the Fiat and its very practical as well and increasingly rare. Having said that I still went for the 350Z on the basis of the engine, the nature of the power delivery (high % of torque at low revs) and the excellent balance between ride and handling on standard set up (plus high reliability as a bonus).

cmck13 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Someone earlier said he had an Audi that was perfectly balanced and fine tuned like a ballerina but decided to go for the Z because it was like a thug, says it all. Best way is to have a run in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
