How much is G35 coupe with the optional gold Brembos and 18 rim option?
I think G35 needs the 18 rim. 17 seems small for that car.
Same goes to 350Z

They are different animals. Both are very sweet.
If you wanna have understated coolness, I'd go for STi
If you want some bling, definetely G35 coupe.
but if performance is on the top of your priority, STi is your choice for sure.

I think girls like G35 coupe better IMHO, hehe

Both are sweet! If you want something rugged car that
you can go offroad get the STI, if you want class go with
the G35 coupe. But ill go with the STI coz my wife got
the 350z already, silver touring, got for 37,550.00 plus
1,000 markup from cerritos autosquare plus options,tax, lic went
up to 44,000. Very nice car indeed. You should have the
same power if you get the G35 coupe and change the
muffler. Go go go is right, this car should have 18, 19 or
20" rims. People are adding spacers too so the wheel
is flushed out just right with the body. I guess you have
to wait for the STI to come out first and test drive them
bought and you'll know which is one for you.

peace

Alot of bad grammer in this topic LMAO!

Anyho...

Both are rather practical for what they are, the STI actually more practical of course, and also the better performer surprizingly.

Its really a question of whether you want performance or looks (Which is a no-brainer for most of us)

If you're going to call the kettle black.....

Some will prefer the luxury of the G35 to the STi as well.

Hah, yeah bad "grammar" for sure... =)

I have been looking at IS300 (Not enough power), 350Z (something just doesnt suit me), G35 (sorta seems like middle age crisis sorta car) and of course I ended up with a deopsit on the STi. I think I made the right choice...

A G35 w/6 speed is probably just as limited as the STi will be. Nismo is already making exhaust and twin turbo upgrades for the 350Z (should work on the G35). I think the G35 will have just as much tuning potential as the STi (if not more). I would be seriously considering the STi right now if it weren't for the redesign. Hopefully it looks better in person than in the pictures.

Well with the STi you get all that power without voiding the warranty with aftermarket turbos and such. Thats the main reason I am buying an STi. If the Z had a turbo or two from the factory I would be hard pressed not to buy one. I want as much power as is warrantied personally. No way Im buying a $35k Z and voiding the warranty to get more power. No thanks...

Um, no offence, but what did you expect people on an subaru fourm to say? DUh... STI!!! the G35 is a awesome car and especally with the 6M and if yoiu can twin turbo it but the sti is very very limited and chances are you wont be seeing too many of them around. but if you want luxury and dont care bout voiding your warinty, then go 4 the G35
