I think the 350Z is pretty cool. Decent rwd sportscar performance without paying Porsche bucks.

I beg to differ. Definetely not an imitiation and being "cheap" doesn't have to be bad. Most people can't afford Ferraris and Porshes. And come on everso at least it's a proper rwd car with a powerful V6. isn't that what sportscars are all about?

I have to say subzero, mainly because, name a car that sounds that good, a car that can run with the big boys for under 35K. And it looks great. one of the best all around cars that can upset a lot of cars that cost way more.

not SZ, there are a "BIGGER" cars, but definitelly cool! I like the shape, sound and everytime I see it on the road, I have to turn around :D
I wouldn't mind to have one in my garage 8)

edit: who is this 350 tuned by TT? know? looks great with those wheels and spoiler

Not surprised to hear that from an Audi TT owner...Seems like you guys have alot of animosity towards Z's....Dont know why....The Z is a real sports car. Its unique. Look at it and theres no question its a Z..Stock to stock you know what it will do to your TT...

The Z has gone toe to toe with the M3 on different tracks and beaten it a few times..Its also beaten the S2000 on a few tracks. Cant do that if you are a cheap imitation.

"Uncool in every way"????Bwaaahaaahaaa :roll: :slap:

I think all of 350z versions(z tune stune) is uncool. I don't like this car.

:good: to Carlos Ghosn for bringing back an icon!

i've also raced against 350Zs in autocross and on the track, and all i can say is: don't believe everything you see on Best Motoring.

I agree its not the be all of sportscars but to say its uncool in everyway? No animosity towards the Z? lol.. I guess you are thinking it looks like your TT when you say its an imitation...Park em next to each other and see which one gets more looks.....Im certainly not overly impressed with its power or handling but its a very capable car that will mix it up with the best of them in its class....As for you on track and autocross, remember thats more to do with driver than anything else. Ive also read how good the Z is in those venues from other racers. I guess those guys are delusional huh...I guess MotorTrend is wrong as well as the Z beat both the M3 and S2000 on the same track the same day same driver if memory serves. Only car that beat it was a 405hp Z06...I respect racers opinions but yours is plainly bias...BTW did you race them in your TT???Got pics...Would like to see the killer :wink: BTW dont get it twisted...This aint a call out...Im strictly a poser :lol: I love the TT..Had a few friends with them and hooked up...Sweet cars...

Uncool. It looks bling and cheap to me. Seen a few on the road and everytime I think its another poser that do not know whats out there.
Just what I feel, doesn't mean it is so.

Deffinitly "cool." Nice power, nice design, and BEAUTIFUL exhaust note all for under 35k. But for the price, i'd rather get it's cousin, the G35.

Wow, seems like a number of people have it out for the Z...I'm certainly not a huge fan of it, but how can an affordable, RWD sports-car be uncool or seriously uncool to a bunch of car nuts?

Its cool, the looks may not be as good as they could be and it may not be the purest sports car, but its a hell of a lot better than a TT...

It is not a good car overall, doesn't drive particularly well, cheap interior, rather loud, ugly, terrible performance, etc. compared to other two-seaters, being that it costs nearly the same as better competitors you’d be nuts to buy one … Z4, SLK and Boxster which have much more prominent badges the choice is obvious, plus IT’S A DATSUN! :roll:

SnakeBite you have to keep in mind the TT has been out for quite sometime, which has OWNED the roadster market for a long time, people are board with it, and the new one isn't really that pretty.

In terms of performance, my straight six 3 liter BMW Z4 beat three 350z at the track last summer, each had there butts handed to them one after another, do you think I got lucky?

Why does it matter that its a Datsun? Are you that obsessed with badges...? :roll:

How is it not a good car overall, I seem to remember it winning at least one Car of the Year Award here in America. Its fun to drive, it may have a cheap interior, but then again the base model is $27K, and that is a good price.

How does it have terrible performance? :? It may be a little on the heavy side, but its got a torquey V6 and 300hp means 0-60 in under 6sec, definitely not terrible.

Are you blind, how does it cost the same as a Z4? Base model 350Z, which gets the same engine as top model, is $27K, to get a Z4 with the big engine, that's a base price of nearly $42K...and a Boxster starts at $45K, and only goes way up from there.

its a decent car, but it is far too bland to be cool. uncool for me.

Too many of these around...especially with fart pipes, so, uncool. Oh yes, it looks fat too.

I can't belive that two people voted the 350z as subzero, I don't think those two people really understands what subzero is.
