"Its not always about 0 - 60 times "

So true, from what I've heard over the last few months from many diff sources is that the 350Z is a great car to own. It seems to have a better reputation than the Mazda RX-8 even though when both new to the UK they seemed to be compared in every single car magazine under the sun. I don't remember at the time there being a clear winner but it certainly seems like the Z has got more of a cult following now to me.

How does the roadster compare to the coupe ?

Here's a pic of my GT4 Ltd edition which has different alloys to the standard/rays ones. Sometimes known as 'RX8' wheels but I like em....

Nice picture, shows the lines of the car very well.

cmon farmerwrx, I'd like to hear your comparison

The 350Z Roadster is lardier and a little slower than the coupe, and performance wise would expect the P1 to beat it in every way especially if its a pre 06 280ps version.

I had a rolling start with an 05 PPP STi the other day up a private slip road and there was nothing in it to three figures when I seemed to gain slightly before backing off

ok here goes
my car is a type r standard the z is the wife's standard the type r is much faster accelerating in any gear at any speed up to about 85 - 90 i mean a real noticeable difference after that there's not much in it until 125 - 130 and after that the zed is faster due to being much slipperier shape i think. the way the zed goes when at high speed is amazing i would like to see how one would go without a limiter.

MarkWRX - thanks for that. I like those alloys - the standard ones done emphasise the diameter of the wheel enough for my liking.

Hmm - I might get a test drive
