13.1 stock on a 350z ROFL. Was this on an east coast track?!!? this tends to be the trend on this forum. East coast tracks are facing downhill with a 50mph wind at the back.

The 350z isnt fast..Its slow for the cars its against, it gets horrible gas mileage for a v6 average is 17mpg (horrible for a non-modded car), it has very cheap interior materials with no glovebox, they have a poor serivice record, and it has very poor resale.
(There my rant)
Also the G35 looks a million times better and in hearing this remember Jeremy Clarksons rule.
Anyways,
Everyone is talking about mods for the 350z etc..
Did anyone ever take the time to slow down and consider the most important thing?

Operating costs..

You can afford to buy a used 350z but can you afford operating costs? Can you afford a 1000 clutch if it goes out right away? Can you afford the tires? Can you afford the rotors that so easily warp from the factory on the 350z. Just think about that stuff...

Maintence on a civic is far cheaper.
