350Z or Saleen

Hey guys,
I was just wondering wether to get a 350 or a Na saleen and put a supercharger. Or i was thinking to twin turbo the 350. It's kinda hard to decide. Any Help?

Re: 350Z or Saleen

depends if you want american muscle (which will probably break down) or a badass Nissan...also...seeing as how this is a Z forum, i think your responses are going to be slightly lopsided

The part that is going to decide it for you will be how much money you are willing to spend.

do u want to go straight or do u want it to be fast and be able to do the twisties?

straight line-saleen

twisties and tight handling - 350z upgraded
(plus u sink $20,000 into a 350z you will be one very satisfied person whether straight or turns)

Re: 350Z or Saleen

Just get a Mustang Cobra instead. It'll cost more than a base 350Z, but possibly less than a Saleen. It might be faster than both, too. You can't beat the tunability, either. With an iron block DOHC V8, it can handle lots of abuse. They're running 9s already.
If you want handling, the Cobra also has an independent rear suspension, and could probably tear it up on a road course with a few mods.

Re: 350Z or Saleen

how about a 300zxtt its faster than the 350z and the na saleen. it also looks alot better. you will save tones of money and you can use some of it for upgrades and still have enought to get you a daily driver.

Re: 350Z or Saleen

I would get the Z it is better looking and you won't see your car on the road as often as if you had a Mustang. Buy a base z stroke it, TT it then upgrade the brakes, get a LSD (the stock one is crap so don't worry about not getting one with the base). Plus resale on mustangs sucks. I wonder why?

WHAT??? i thought a brand new stock cobra ran mid 13's and low 13's if your good. they are quick but not 9's from the factory. for the extra cash you would end up spending on your cobra you could have your 350z running low 13's if not better. i must have misread your reply.
