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

I enjoyed my '05 G35 coupe. it was nice, comfy, and pretty fun. My only gripe about it was clutch (engagement and fluid boiling causing the pedal to fall to the floor on super hot days), needed an alignment every 10k-15K miles, door lock motors went out on both sides, my window motors were starting to go out right as I sold the car, and fuel consumption. Other than that, enjoyed the car and it did what all I asked of it. Going based off of my butt dyno though, the car didn't seem to respond well (or much) to basic mods; just made the car sound awesome. I wouldn't mind getting another one though when I finish up the project car.
