Besides that, bigger is better, the potential for power form the aftermarket of the 350Z's motor is greater, it is my opinion either way, think what you want I'm not condemning anything.

Little potential because it was highly tuned from factory. 120HP per liter, something i have yet to see happen for nissan or any other for NA motors. You are comparing a 2.0 with a 3.5 Liter. doesnt mean the 3.5 is better in all aspects.
Bigger is not always better, learn that. The car is not hard keep in the powerband, you just have to learn how to drive or drive it.
the potential is great for power, of course the displacement difference makes a big difference when talking about mods. There is really no tricks involved to make power when you have the displacement. Nissan should try to stuff a 2.0L under the Z making 286HP and see if they will really sell it for under 30,000. What do you think?
They are both great cars but are really different cars. And of course if you want to make more power you have to tear the motor apart, but this applies to any motor any make any mfger.
