What an amazing Jap car!!
Nissan made an amazing car that competed with many European sports cars of the day, and at a fraction of the cost!!

WOW is all that I can say apart from when it rains then all I have to say is EEEEEW!!

I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a bit of fun to drive on a Sunday afternoon.

Appearance-need new paint job and has a lot of dings. Plus i'm putting new body kit on.
Performance- wana know it's performance race me from a roll or dig
Fun wise it handles grea though I'm putting better springs on in the near future, along with many other things. I love this car and i got it for a great price. it needed a little work which I'm doing my self and by the time i'm done I'm expecting 450rwhp

Strong motor. 400 hp. and the only problem in over 100k miles was the power steering...not bad for a 17 year old car. sure it only takes premium at almost 5 bucks a gallon, but its worth it when you get to unleash the power and handling. Before you buy one, make sure to test drive and take it to a mechanic, you eaither get a good one or a bad one...expencive cars to maintain

This car was far ahead of it's time, I am looking to get another one as a third vehicle. It has a timeless look and pretty good performance and handling even in the non-turbo form. Gas mileage and maintenance will come at a price, but remember, you're not buying a vehicle as thrifty as a Camry.

lets see 350z is the cheaper version of what previous car ???? yes you guessed it 300zx... twin turbo power with intercooler system or a very nice vq motor i would take a twin turbo any day. V6 na power is great but a V6 twin turbo is better. Especially when the displacement difference is only half a liter.
               Basically Nissan built a car that was better for its time. it has 4 caliper breaks in the front and 2 pistons in the rear. A great car for tuners. it has a back bone of a championship winning race car just ask Steve Millan. low profile, low center of gravity, with the 2+2 Twin turbo conversion it is the perfect sports car for room for 3. even 4 if you have to.  The more i research on this car the better it gets. it has an engine that was over built for reliability... i am not into stock anything so if u compare it in stock form to other cars i don’t really want to hear it. The best part about this car is that it has plenty of bolt on performance that can make it much better then 2008 models for the same price. the engine with a turbo upgrade and exhaust and a few other bolt-ons gives you 400 reliable horses.  the breaks with just a bigger rotor upgrade are good enough for the track.
the 2+2 is great to do a twin turbo upgrade on and that is what my plan is. i want a car that can give you the power of a corvette and yet the seat 4 people if you have too.
did i mention the interior that is just different from so many cheap new cars.
the interior is all buttons, no cheesy knobs or cheep materials that were so prevalent in the late 90s due to the fall of the yen.
the driver has everything with in arms reach without having to move from his or her seat. The baby is like a cock put in the drivers seat. it has such a great potential that i think it is almost as good as a skyline or a supra and the rx-7. the fourth best car isn’t bad as it is the cheapest of all of them. for about 30000 dollars you can have 600 Hp about 500 to the wheels reliable with 15 mpg.. 0 to 60 times in the low fours and breaks that are as good as brembo with little modification. what does 30000 buy you these days ??? not much but about 35000 buys you a 300 hp STI with a power band that only gives you 300 horses at about 6000 rmp...the 300zx has rear wheel drive and not all wheel drive so it wont handle as well but with double the power i think the highway isnt a place it can lose or a drag strip for that matter. the EVO 300 hp same story better handling but half the power. G37 not as good lol and I think that’s like 45 thousand. 330 horses for the new one and well its also rear wheel drive and i think it might have the all wheel drive option but really cant win in any scenario except luxury. The 3000GT is probably a real great car with a buy of about 10000 and 20000 more in upgrades it is probably the only better car. however it has reliability issues. RX8 is a nice choice except it only has about 250 horse it defiantly handles better because its so nimble and light but on the highway i personally can vouch for how far i left it behind.  in my opinion the car that is way better then a 30000 dollar upgraded 300zx is simply a 75 thousand dollar corvette Z06 (or the 3000gt)... 500 NA power is not something you mess with and it handles amazing as well but only has room for 2 and doesn't have the amenities the 17 year old Z has believe it or not... like the AC POD and the crazy price difference. if you spend 75 thousand on a Z i can guarantee it beats a corvette.... now if you compare it to other tuner cars like an STI well it ends up costing over 50 thousand and again if i spend that kind of money on the Z IT CAN BE BETTER... now what about cheaper tuner cars the 240sx much cheaper and much lighter probably can beat out a 30000 dollar 300zx with a nice RB26 swap for the same price but the breaks aren't as good and almost everything else has to be upgraded including the rear Differential which on the 300zx is a limited slip R200 and stock tt R230. so it is far superior as it is the better version of a 240... essentially the 240 is just a cheap version of the 300zx. so the fifth best tuner car that is much cheaper then a supra and skyline and rx7 which all go for alot of money stock and great power in the 600 reliable range which is more then enough for any normal person. its one of the best cars you can own. honestly the only other car i would recommend in this comparison is the 3000gt although the powerplant needs major upgrading and might end up costing in the high forty thousand dollar range.
