Thanks for the tip...07 350Zs are nice in the base coup 6 speed.
Ave retail is close to 20K and that's with around 20K more mi..but you can find some for less.

Buy a 91 Syclone, restore it and never drive anything ever again. Except for your daily driver civic that you should buy for like 5k and get great mileage.

Pure straight line sexy and with good suspension mods it can handle like a dream. Stupid fast truck.

1) Nismo suspension
2) Greddy FULL dual exhaust
3) 20" custom 3 Piece rims
4) Nav system
5) CF hood

Stay tuned..I have to see it up close.
It's prolly gonna be the Z or that clean black TC.

Nismo cold air intake----no C.A.R.B. # for that, smog maybe a pain for you. make sure the seller smogs it.

All that doesn't equate to going fast in my opinion .. If thats what you enjoy is appearance go for it !

man even tho the Z is a way sexier car the Balt will put a smile on your face more often that that pile... IMO it would be a downgrade without a VQ and a supercharger or turbo kit already included with a built motor.... I see 450 HP+ Z's here on C list all day long ..

Easy there

I know our Balts are damn quick...don't forget I had one!
OK...update. I found another 350Z (can't post pic since auto trader won't let me). An 06 with 16K..yes...16K mi..20K less than previous car shown! It's the *Enthusiast* trim which is one up from the other one..has these additional features: Limited slip...cruise control...traction control..steering wheel audio controls. It's not *ricy* like the other one..just black rims and black hood/rear hatch with silver body (two toned look). Very clean.

"it would be a downgrade without a VQ and a supercharger or turbo kit already included with a built motor"

You gotta be kidding..right? This car had original retail of around 30K+. The 07 motor is not THAT much different...unless you wanna do what you said and I DON'T. The 06 Motor on manuals was new *high rev* with 300HP and many upgrades over 05. As good as the Balt is...it's not in the same league! Rear wheel drive and quasi *mid engine*. Handles like it's on rails...6 speed to boot. Interior of Balt pales in comparison. HID lights stock..LED tails. Brakes were upgraded on 06 Model with bigger rotors F/R (Brembo on higher level trims). We won't even talk about the LOOKS!!!!

I don't give a **** if a car will do Qtr 110 vs 104 for the Z. 99% of DAILY DRIVING isn't drag racing.

Just got it today. 08 350Z Touring edition with 37K mi...got a great price too..just a tad more than what insurance compensated me for the balt. Rides smooth and solid..revs to
7000RPM easy (I think redline is around 7200 or so). I love it. Not as violent as the TC, but pulls stong and steady.

Pics:
I know..blurry.
