Default Which car would you pick?

Hey guys ive been lurking around these forums learning as much as possible about the 370z and now i have the money to get one , now its the hard part i know the 370 is a 2 seater but how many of you guys came from a 4 door sedan to a 2 seater? im thinking about the switch and how will i deal with just driving 1 person with me. I have a couple cars in mind to look at before i buy any car , and i would like your guys advice or tips on the 370 or any of these cars
1.Evo x
2.Bmw 335i
3.Mustang 5.0
4.370z

Did anyone have any of these cars switching to the Z? Please share your experince
this would probably be my DD so all input would be appreciated.

A personal decision on 2 vs 4. I do not mind much at all.

These were all our car choices too, and most of us chose the 370Z.

It's a Z forum so I think the overwhelming response will be option 4. That's my choice, too, since you did take the time to register.

^^^^He was only making a joke on the '12 for 12...

OP, out of what you listed obviously I would choose a Z. But the '13 5.0 would get a serious look. In the end I would still choose the Z.

I have the Z for just me. Otherwise I have my Altima or the wife's car if we need to go somewhere with the kid.

yeah guys i knew u guys would go for the z it would be like me going on 335i forums and asking what car should i get the 370 or 335 and we all know they would say the 335i , its just i feel the 335i is more the bang for your buck with a tune and exhaust and intake u can have 400 at the wheels , and i know u have to do alot to the z to have those numbers am i right? Which other cars were your options and what made you guys go with the Z?

Since you are already driving an M3 and Lancer, you should look at BMW 335i or 370z
