370 and 350

A stock Z doesn't have a lot of power. Sorry if I offend you guys, but it just doesn't. The reason the Z is a bad idea for a n00b is because it's RWD. It's definitely too much car for an inexperienced driver, no matter how you slice it.

To answer your question OP... The 370Z has serious issues with cooling, and another area where the 350Z excels (ever so slightly) is in fuel tank design. If I were you, I'd buy a gently used 07-08 350Z and save the rest for maintenance.

No offense taken, but the Z is no v8 musclecar, the Z is a non-aspirated v6, for a v6 the power is pretty up there. But I think the OP should buy an 07 350z or G35. I actually would go G35 due to insurance being lower and the 07 G being a rare car. Don't pay over 21k and less than 30k miles. Then the other 15 or so k you have saved... I would use half to mod and save half for something else. But wait a year before you mod. Drive the car "SAFELY" and learn tthe cars limits under the legal conditions. Then customize based on your needs and weaknesses.

It does make great power for a non-aspirated car. I had no clue the engine was non-aspirated....how does it run?

It may not have the most "power" but I would definitely say its fast...

Fast is a matter of perspective.

I agree. But when its times are similar and close to all sort of V8's out there, id say its fast. Obviously its no vette or the like... Unless someone only thinks that something that runs a 10 second quarter or a 0-60 in 3.5 are the only things they consider fast... thats not realistic to me...
