The Si is better in that aspect. Torque and usable powerband? Z. Transmission feel? Si. Handling? Z.
There are pro's and con's to both, not to mention price. So, you need to ask yourself where you are in life and what you can accept. 
 From what has been seen, there is A LOT to be desired in the looks department on the upcoming 370Z. But I will take a hit on the looks of the car is going to weigh 3010 lbs and put out 350hp (as rumored in http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....rticle_id=6753). But they also need to offer the new Z ONLY in 6MT... that would cut down on the number of cars in the market, which is only good for exclusivity.
The new 1-Series is beast, no doubt the car is a solid performer. But the side skirts are horrendous, in my opinion. |
Well put brother! yeah, ive got some rendered pics of the new design of the "400 Z" i will try and post them when i find them, it doesnt look any worse than the 350 tho, but then again, here at nissan, looks arent top priority for some reason, look at the Si competitor, the sentra spec v, terrible little car, its not that great looking, but its quick for putting around town, and has more torque, nissan drops the ball on design too much i think. oh well.
and again, i say with the current z, ive seen more than enough problems with brand new z's for me to trust the quality. Way too many pissed of consumers. i could have one for well under invoice, but i dont trust the damn car too handle the day to day abuse i put my Si through.
