I believe somebody else on here is a former NSX owner who switched to the Z. Try searching for it and maybe shoot him a PM. That person should have some valuable insights into having to make this decision.

hummm... i donno.. everyone's different.

some folks here have sold their G35C's to get the 370Z. i cant see myself doing that cause my G and Z are so different. thats why i recommend keeping both if possible...

i think the best route would be to swap the GTI for the Z in khoala's case.

I sold my G35c to get the 370z. But I agree they are different. My Z always stall if I don't pay attention my G never.

Cus my G was auto, my Z is manual


Seriously, I would keep both if possible. Cuz both cars are so classic!

@ not stalling AT G.

honestly speaking, my G35C will never be as special as the NSX... unless ofcourse, infiniti continues its path of messing up their coupes like the mess of a car (imo) they did on the G37C.

G37coupes... loved the concept, nice interior, but hate the rest of the car.

I agree, sell the vw. You can always get another one. Z is a little harder

I'm gonna be the guy on the other team and say sell the nsx and get a new vette or cayman?? Sure the nsx israre, nice looking but really nothing to be consider great compared to.modern cars. I like my nismo but if I had to decide between my car vs a nsx is the same condition stock for stock. I would eadily pick the nismo. Perhaps its because it is my DD. cost upkeep is big. I also dont belueve in buying a exspensive toy and hardly ever playing with it.

I'm bias though I have never driven a nsx so I really don't know what it truly is all about.

Don't test drive a NSX, you will trade your Nismo in a heartbeat

I'm not sure about the US market, but mint condition, factory paint NSX-R in Japan cost 3 times more than the GTR.
NSX has possibility to be a future classic. Especially the NA2 R.

The NSX was a wonderful car in it's day and still does well but the 370Z is faster.

In 1995 I had a 300ZXtt and these cars seemed equal to me in the real world. I raced against one for years and was happy with the old Z. The new Z is faster still. The NSX fellow raced once and hung up his car keys.


1995 MSRP on NSX was $90K vs Z at $45K.

I would sell the GTI and get a 370z. Keep the NSX though, that is going to be a classic eventually. It already kind of is now.
