MOST likely going to pull the trigger on one of these cars: AP2 S2000, 350Z, or G35. Most likely the 350z because I absolutely love the body style and power it delivers. I'd probably consider the G35 Coupe too because it has seating for four (3 kids - although still will have the CRV to haul around) with same performance as the Z.

It's going to be a DD with simple mods with some 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 (maybe wider) wheels slammed on coilovers. Really looking for a semi fun, good handling RWD 2 seater.

Anyone here own, owned, or driven one have any feedback on how it drives, problematic areas, better years, etc. Our local club's website has been shut down and I don't feel like joining another forum. I'd peek (or google rolleyes.gif ) but I figure I'd ask first to see if anyone out there has first hand experience. I'll probably test drive my good friend's brother's 03 350Z this weekend.

THanks! wink.gif

Reliable but I really would like something newer. My friend had a 280Z and it was head turner but like I said, I'd like something newer. The only things I'll touch are your normal maintinence, otherwise it's into the shop for other things. PLus, 6spd is a must on something like the Z. I just can't handle driving an auto in a sports car. This is the longest I've ever driven an automatic in my life and it's halfway ruined already lol.

Other cars I"ve listed are the S2000 and G35. The G35 is essentially the same thing as the Z but with 4 seats. I'd like to have the rear seats as I have kids but the exterior is only ok lol. I still have the CRV so it's not the end of the world smile.gif

370Z is out of my range. I still have my stupid 2012 Corolla S to pay off. If I didn't have that, I'd probably go for an STI wagon. The Corolla, IMHO, was the biggest waste of money ever spent! PERIOD!

The other car I was thinking was the MK4 Supra but damn, you can't find one that's not molested. Unmodified ones are just....EXPENSIVE! I'll pass.
