You get yourself something like an M3, or an E55 AMG.

V8 Hyundai Genesis Sedan

Plush, RWD, Fast

Don't hate, this thing has got good reviews and Hyundai's quality surpassed all the US makers years ago.

I would never go Hyndai over Nissan...if i went away fromNissan I'd go Corvette...

That's your choice but maybe you should just do some research. Flip through some magazines until you read the article that makes you go, "Aha, that's it."

I went the other way, corvette to nissan :D


Just say no to GM's low quality interiors http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/.../thumbdown.gif

Yeah I'm going with the idea that the 370Z is less flashy...am I wrong? It just seems to blend in better, Corvette stands out everywhere no matter what color you get it in.

Eh, I guess there was some cred that came with the brand name, but all that rep was lost the minute they saw the interior. And it's not like I had vettes from the 80s, I had two 03s and an 06. I've mentioned in other threads that it was actually embarrassing when people would get in it. I could see what they wee thinking in their eyes: "You paid how much for this?"

Edit: Now the vette engine in the Z ... that would be sex on silk.

So how does the 06 Vette compare to the 09 370 performance wise? and the interior is that much better? What made you trade for the nissan?

They both handle about the same, don't think you would notice a difference. Very noticeable difference in the performance area, but the vette is about a second faster. I use my car as a daily driver. I don't care if people use their cars as garage queens, but I buy cars to drive them. That being said, the vette interior just isn't something you want to spend 1.5 hours a day in. Rattles, creaks, and more cheap plastic than you can shake a stick at. The leather, if you want to call it that, is the cheapest, thinnest feeling leather you could ever find. Within two weeks, it had all the wrinkle marks in it; deep ones that eventually start flaking.
They ripped the oversized junk radio out of the tahoe and put it in. And the base vette is 10 grand more than the most expensive Z.

So many people are garage queens with their Vettes that GM has never really had to address the issues for the daily driver. I buy cars to drive them as well. With a few rare exceptions a car is a huge depreciating assett. You might as well enjoy the things.

the more I read your posts the more I think you need to do what I did and get the G37

Maybe, but I don't really want to go G37...I'd like to stay Nissan. I'm sure it's a nicer car, but its probably more $$$ too. If I go into the 40's I'd have to go Corvette. If I can get a WELL equipped Z for 34kish I'd be very happy.

I agree - it really sounds like you want a newer G35 or the G37. And you would be sticking with Nissan - the 350Z and the G35 were born from the same parents... My friend has a '07 G35 and its a tough call between that and the 350/370. Its an amazing performance car - the sports package is really nice on it and I think its more luxurious than the Maxiam and way more importantly its not FWD!

Trust us - you want a G35/37....

I had a g35, and there isn't really a significant difference between a g35 and a 370 as far as the luxury aspect of the car.

yeah I'm also considering 09 Jeep SRT8, I love the power/SUV thing
