used 350z or a rsx-s

[PlayStation3]

the one i found was still low miles (3k) and besides mopar parts are cheaper then nismos are for the z. also the z is still kinda of expensive for me to do stuff to and still be able to pay it off.

hey, if your looking for cheap performance and decent good looks, get the srt-4. theyre good cars.

I would still rather the 350Z. The srt4 isn't my bag of tea.

^ read these threads regarding the SRT4, they arn't that well liked by many in the car community.

From a pure performance standpoint they are better then the RSX-S but not as good as the 350z, but as far as I'm concerned this is where its advantage ends. It has that nice stock turbocharger that is pretty easily tuned, but you are dealing with a FWD car, so torque-steer will become a problem fairly quickly. Stock v. stock v. stock, the SRT4 has the worst ride of the three as a daily driver, add torque-steer to the equation and bad goes to worse. I assume that you want to use this car as a daily driver and not just a race car. From a handling perspective, most would say that RWD > FWD 9 times out of 10. The interior of the SRT-4 is terrible compared to the Z and the RSX-S. Finally, the exterior... it good at getting the attention of guys that know a thing or two about cars, but if you are at all interested in attracting girls (which I assume you are) they won't be able to tell the difference between a SRT-4 and any other Neon. The RSX-S and 350z look WAY better then the SRT-4.

most non car people wont be able to tell a rsx from a civic though. and i actually like the srts intrerior over the rsxs but not the zs.

[PlayStation3]

yea but where i live there is no car community for like 2 hours around where i live but i think my problems is that i overthink on things and care too much about what people think. does anybody know how much an 04 touring 350z deprecation (sp) value will be when 07 comes? cause i would like the car not be over 20k but be fast and be fairly mod worthly

IMO the srt4 is a pretty sweet car. I was considering buying one myself because they come pretty damn fast from the factory and have a lot of potential.

[G-man422]

go w/ the Z.

[PlayStation3]

Let me ask how you went from asking 350z or RX-8 to 350z or RSX? There is really not too much of a comparo between them. You ever thought of getting a 1.8t GTI? those are fun cars with decent power that take very well to mods and it has very good handling right out of the factory. I'd prefer the GTI to the SRT-4 mainly cause I I have seen and competed with both at autocross events and the GTI eats the SRT alive, my jetta eats both though (that's besides the point, just wanted to mention it)

And regarding the RSX type S I would rather get a new civic SI, they cost less and you get almost Identical performance to the type S, which is one reason they stopped production of the RSX.

[blakscorpion21]

if you like the srt-4 you might consider a cobalt ss. it got a better lap time in the latest car and driver than the miata, civic si, gti, and mustang gt. and personally i think they are pretty sharp.

[Gotian]

or the new Mazdaspeed 3, they are the new bang for your buck.

263hp 6 speed, great handling, 1/4 in less than 14.4, I'm sure it can easily get into the 13's. And it costs less than 24k for the base model.

I love what Nissan does. If it were my choice I would totally go with the 350Z. They look a lot better too. Nissan has a way with great looking functioning vehicles.
