G35 6MT vs 370Z

I was in the same position as you, except I owned an 05 350Z. Since we shared the same motor, I can tell you first hand the VQ37HR is so much better than the VQ35DE, but I do miss the low end torque and response below 3k (as someone mentioned). I've driven a G35 and as far has handling and fun factor goes, the 350 takes cake, and so you can imagine how much better it is in the 370. Since you're moving from a G to a Z there is a lot to consider, and the best way to get them answered is to take one for a test drive. Then decide if you can do without back seats and reasonable trunk space. Having no debts is a great feeling plus you have a lot more spending power you can invest in your G. But if you want to go with the "you only live life once" path, get the 370Z.
