Depends what you like. RWD or AWD, Leight Weight or Heavy Weight, Go and do some reasearch and see which one fits you best. Warning if you get a 3000GT espicially if it's a VR4 check out its transmission. Either one you pick they both good cars.

GT ALL THE WAY BABIE! Hehe But no, I think it's a matter of personal preference... 3KGT looks better...personally...

He never said if he was getting a turbo model did he?? Maybe hes looking at non turbos.. haha

Both good cars, 300zx seem to have a little problem with traction off the line if I remember correctly..

not sure about that, seen this 300zx jump on a Z06 somethin nasty. but it wasn't stock tires or stock rims so.........

What do you guys mean when you guys say a car jumps?

When 2 guys are stopped next to each other, the light goes green and the one with more power and traction (grip on the road) shoots off so quick, leaving the other one back. This is a jump. Basically faster acceleration right off the line, which is what you'll benefit from more in a AWD car obviously.

hmmm, both awesome cars but I'd get the 3000GT. The 300zx is a pain in the ass engine to work on... has anyone seen the wires on that engine?? so many freakin wires its ridiculous and makes it really hard to put it all back together if you ever had to take apart the engine for any reason. Plus I like the looks of the 3000GT better.

But if you're still not sure then i advise you to search on the net for specs of both cars and reviews to get an idea of which one is best for you.

I now own a 300zx twin turbo. it is simply beautiful and exhilirating to drive. what performance! The 3000gt that I owned a few years ago (a vr-4 i might add) was horrible in every way a car can be horrible except in looks. over the four years i owned the car i spent over $12000.00 in buying new parts and repairs. every month something was wrong with the car and the problem wasn't cheap. i am not saying the z is cheap either, it's not but it is the hell of a lot more fun to drive, it is quicker off the line and just generally more responsive than the 3000gt. it doesn't feel like your drive a tank like with the 3000gt. there is no question which is the better car to me and I know since I have owned BOTH.

Quicker off the line? Man, did you not know how to launch your VR4?

[youngvr4]

pay him no attentnion gt princess, he OBVIOUSLY doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. only vr4 he has a hand at is the 1st gens, otherwise he will loose consistantly over and over again in the launch and at the end. sometimes people lie just to prove there point. the person who owned his vr4 before hand obviously didn't take care of it. if he even ever owned one

[Nesryn]

*calms down* Alright. I'm ok... At least he didn't say anything about the SL
