The 350Z coupe is alright, but the convertible looks horrible!

It looks like it has some kind of chrome aftermarket rims. Yuk!
I didn't like my stock rims so I switched to NISMOs.

Nah... you're still biased. I can tell by the way your'e leaning toward the 350Z. lol. The 350Z is nice. I actually like the G35 coupe the best...almost bought one...then I drove the stang. I have to agree though the handling in the 350Z/G35 is much better.

But then my Stang will come in, and it'll get jealous, and I have to say STOP!! You two are driving me crazy!!
UGH!! The cars these days.....!

LOL! My Z gets jealous sometimes so I have to give it some props or else it'll have a fit and won't start. [8D]

I don't have that problem between my 05GT and my 98 V6 mustangs. But I think the 98 keeps it's mouth shut 'cuz it's afraid I'm gonna sell it.[8D]

RE: Motor Trend Mustang GT vs 350Z
I just traded-in a black 2004 Mustang GT for a black 2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe.
What I like about the Mustang is the deep throttle and sound of the V8 and the American muscle car feel it gives while behind the wheel. The stock sound system is nice as well. The style of the stang is nice too, it is visually appealing. However, mustangs are a dime a dozen... so not really a head turner IMO.
The Infiniti G35 Coupe is a different ride. It's smooth, quick, responsive and simply handles better then the Mustang. The interior and exterior are quality and don't look/feel cheap in comparison to the stang. The 8 speaker Bose sound system is better as well... more powerful, better sound, plays MP3s, steering-wheel controls, etc. These features where not an option in my '04 Stang. In addition to that, the G35 has dozens of luxury options that make the driving experience fun... a navagation system, sun roof, heated 8-way power seats, electronic dual-climate control, and the list goes on and on.
My G35 has 18" high performace rims (225s in the front and 245s in the back), tranction control, vehicle dynamic control, and electronic brake force distribution. In compariosn, the '04 stang has tranction control.
I think both cars are fun to drive, but the G35 has a lot more to offer. I would choose the G35 of the Mustang (yes, even the new 06 model) over and over again. Simply a better car.

RE: Motor Trend Mustang GT vs 350Z
Test drove all 3 before I went with the Stang, the sound of the V8, and the extra money I could put toward a s/c is what put me there. IMO the vert 350Z looks god aweful but I don't care for the look of the vert stang either.
