Truth be told, for a daily car, a 350z would be better. i owned a 2003 350z touring edition 6 spd. but i sold it after 3 months because it just wasnt worth the money. Its rediculously expensive to mod, and the interior wears out fast. the gauges were fun to play with but lost their novelty the second week. the leather is thin and the transmissions between 03-05 were craptastical (they got LOUD), the car didnt give me that WOW feeling i wanted. I drove some S2k's and again, no WOW feeling, but it was more solid, had a better interior, and looked sexier, but still not worth the money, so I bought a corvette and havent stopped smiling since. The interior is a bit cheap on the vettes, but thats just a domestic trait, everything else though, the corvette is amazing. sure you could gone around that corner .00078 a second faster, and ooooo you coulda stopped .00023 ft shorter, but you know what ? I DONT CARE~~!!! the vette is just plain fun. and has better gas mileage and cheaper insurance than either of the two aformentioned cars.

i really like the way both cars look and i have been inside both of them but if it was my dime i would get the 350z just seems like its a more rounded car and going to be a better car in the long run plus no having to put a top on it in a few years no weak rearend and i don't have to rev it to 9k but if i could afford a vet thats what i'd get hands down lol
