I have always loved this cars look, but it is pig heavy stock, which turns me off from cars seeing as I drive a small 2500lb car. Anyone driven one? I am really getting interested in this car again, but I like to do a lot of research before I get serious that way I don't make a regretful choice. In my research it is completely possible to make a streetable 350z that weights less than 2800lbs, which is a good weight for a car its size. For a project I am really looking for something not done often but is a hidden super performer. Something that is competitive with s2k's and other cars in this type of class. I was originally thinking the k24 mr-s which is doable but how reliable can a mix matched engine and chassis with modern tech be. Plus id like to stay all motor and i think the 2.4L 4banger will run out of top end. An s2k is great but thats like the obvious thing to do in this class. Now I know there is a ton of 350z's but most are boosted or show and not much attention paid to the weight, which is what i feel holds this car back from being a stupid fast car (straight line and curves). One it frees up the power to weight ratio and less weight being thrown around also helps cornering. So whats everyone know about the 350z....good or bad, i really want to get a good discussion about this. I am gonna ask on other forums but i want a kind of unbiased opinion because I hate when people ask 'car A' vs. 'car B.' on a forum for 'car A'. Because you know most people are just gonna say their car rocks lol. Ok discuss. I will update with any info I gather.
note: If i was ever to get a project car, it would have to be from a salvage or a shell.
