Any prior G owners

usndocgreen · 03-10-2011, 05:06 PM

Hi,
New here. Just wondering if anyone (figure there are probably several) people on here who have owned a G before and sold it for a Z. If so could you please let me know your impression and if there are any regrets. Trying to make the decision myself. As always if this has been discussed before please point me in the right direction. Didnt see anything on search.

I drove a G35xS 2008 4 door. Totally different cars haha.

Yes, I'm a previous G owner. Dont waste your money trading.

I had 2 G35 coupes before the Z, a 2003 and a 2006. Loved both of them. The Z is a ton of fun and I probably enjoy it more just because the Infiniti dealer here treated us poorly after we spent a bundle on their cars.

Both are great, but if refinement is your preference to brawn, stick with the G.

I had a 2007 G35 Coupe 6MT. The G is similar to the Z, but also very different. The G was more refined, yet I thought had a stiffer suspension than my Z. I love the true cockpit feel of the Z though and would make the trade again if I was at that point. I have a second car as a daily so I don't need more than the two seats from the Z. I also like the fact I never see any Z's , yet see a G coupe many times each day.

I had a 2006 G35C and got a 370Z a year ago. I love it but I really miss the back seats!

usndocgreen · 03-10-2011, 10:10 PM

Yeah, I am planning on having this as a play car not a DD and am planning a build. So I am at the point of build the G or trade and build a Z. Thinking I would enjoy the Z more and after the cost of a build I would probably enjoy the performance upgrades more in a 370Z

Red__Zed · 03-10-2011, 11:44 PM

probably not worth trading it in, honestly.

tjlazer · 03-11-2011, 12:08 AM

I'd keep the G37 and mod it man. Not worth it.

usndocgreen · 03-18-2011, 09:12 PM

Update:
So I went and drove a 370Z and I am sold. What a rush!! Bye Bye Backseat!! Making plans to pick up a used one and get to work on planning performance mods. Hoping to make it happen in next few weeks!! Will post pics in new owner forum afterwards!
