In test driving both cars now I have noticed that the Z is much faster off the line, but watch out when you hit 2nd gear with the Crossfire it seams it could take out 99% of the cars on the road. I'm not a young leadfoot driver anymore, but it is certainly nice to know you have the ability to be one.

I think you have really helped me make my decision. Perhaps I will soon be like all of you telling someone how much I love my Crossfire.

Thanks
Yes... all of my bugs were worked out free of charge with the warranty. The only exception was the headliner. I went with a local guy and he charged me about $115. I felt I would rather spend the money and have a custom job then let the dealership put the same old defective headliner back on it. The guy that did it has been doing headliners for 40+ years.

The 350Z is definitely faster off the line. I test drove it and was very impressed with the handling and power (I drove a 35th anniversary edition). I started reading complaints on fast tire wear (not sure how true all of that was). The Z is a great car and I am not knocking it. I just preferred the crossfire. A better all around performance and not as common as the Z. Everywhere I look I see a Z! My crossfire required a lot of attention over the past 4 years but it is ok now. I was just very picky so I wanted EVERYTHING to be perfect on the car.

I drove it everyday for 4 years. The past 9 months I try to give it a good run every 2 weeks. I let it sit for a month once because I was traveling and noticed a slight leak in the vale cover gasket. Never noticed it before because it was a daily driver. So this is my next project (covered under warranty).

By the way, be prepared for expensive oil changes!
