Z doesn't seem any better , but not any worse. Curious why Infiniti is so high up while sharing most components with Nissan who's relatively low.

Almost all Infinitis are built in japan. Almost all Nissans are built outside of Japan. I think that has alot to do with quality control. It is better to build things closer to home where you have better control over the process.

335i is faster and better in everyway.
Although the 370Z is the winner in looks.

390whp is not really comparing stock vs stock... is it?

I test drove a few 335i's before deciding on the Z. They felt pretty equal as far as power is concerned. I just couldn't get over the BMW's bland interior and added cost.

Whatever, try running on a road course and see for yourself.

I'm almost certain that the 370Z out handles the 335i.
But in terms of power we lose.
Both are great cars imo!

Stock def not. i wreck STOCK 335i. modded ones we will have a problem. which was said earlier in the the thread. my dad has the 328 and that cars a joke. The car handles nice but nothing like the Z. i looked into getting the 135 and for the money wasnt worth it to me. looked at S5's and they all seem to be in the same ballpark performance wise. But then you get into the AWD rear seats, a trunk lol. your paying for convenience and the name. I'm having a hard time finding the next car i want bc the Z has spoiled me. its just over all a great car. not the most practical but i love it. wish it came AWD.. That would be AWSOME!

I doubt the 335i is faster than my car....even a modded 335i........I eat them for breakfast and lunch!

Plus can you really break a car with not much technology in them?

AlphaSnacks · 02-20-2011, 10:59 PM

Exactly. That's the point I always try to make when defending German reliability - they simply have more features built in to them, and are ahead of the curve in technological achievements (Mercedes, especially) by such a margin that statistically they have more crap that's likely to go wrong.

Where as your everyday Toyota doesn't. Likewise, Japanese luxury makes often wait years before implementing those same features the German cars have had, because playing the waiting game has always been a trait of Japan. They wait until a technology is dramatically improved before implementing it - early adopting is not a Japanese quality.

i believe the americans invented the cup holder -- the germans didn't think people should drink and drive

cossie1600 · 02-21-2011, 09:19 AM

Germans take it too far and overengineerd their cars

chuckd05 · 03-05-2011, 11:01 PM

Id take a 335 for the price i paid for my Z if I could when I got my z. 5-800 dollars later and thE 335 would be in the 12's. Too many people look at the 335 as a slow car. It's not.

But it's all personal preference ...

chuckd05 · 03-05-2011, 11:08 PM

Very true ! The x would be nice. I have a 325xi on hand as my girl has one and we live together. The awd system is more RWD oriented as well. A ton of fun in the snow..
