Message last 14 years, they haven't out done the 300ZXTT.

The 350 is newer of course, and nobody here is taking a prime 300ZXTT stock example and comparing it all out with a 350Z. I mean I would expect braking to be much more in the 350's favor, but the rest is a negligable difference, I could see that the feel would be more modern and contemporary with the 350, since it is in fact a newer car embodying current etiquette.

But Nissan is just offering similar stuff for (an unweighted)much less $$$ 14 years later. That is no big trick. Technology does get cheaper with age.

But what people fail to notice, is that if they both have good platforms, both cars can be brought to handle very similarly. I would like to see some 350 whoop my ass on a track or autox course.

That will be the day. But then again it is always a big fxn of driver.

But the statement, not everyone likes to modify, yes Nissan put together a good package for the masses. That is without doubt. We are forgetting the 300ZXTT had some exotic flavor to it, and went up against more stiff competition in its day for a much heftier price in today's dollars. There is no such thing as a straight up comparison, the time element needs to be considered.

I must say the 350 is better than what I was expecting; but then again, I wasn't expecting much for the car.
