the overall quality of the 350Z is on an entirely different level
the 350Z is RWD the 350Z has more displacement (TT anyone?) the 350Z handles better the power for both is similar...depends on who is driving to decide the race the 350Z has a better quality interior
the 350Z is just on a whole nother level like I said, and much more performance oriented than the SRT4.
the 20-22K price tag of the SRT4 seems to blur peoples vision...if it was 30K not nearly as many people would buy it.
All in all, if I could afford a 350Z I would not even touch an SRT4...I can't see any way in my mind how an SRT4 is someway "better" than the Z.
Well thanks for pointing out every single ovbious thing about this. BUT
Does not decide driver, SAME good driver in both cars would be srt4 faster.
More performance orientated... NO. It has the luxury enuff for women and children to drive. SRT4 makes enough noise and stuff only people wanting to go fast want it. Due to cost limiting aspect, it is only what it is though.
Of course if you have lots of money you're not gonna get and its prices is it selling point. So what are you trying to say? If the 350z was 50k, I wouldn't touch it either. Point?
and SRt4 is cheaper to modify and more reliablily (to a point).
dude, the only difference between a Z and SRT4 performance wise is like a bolt on or two...I think that enough to classify it as a drivers race.
Lets see an SRT4 outhandle a 350Z, or put more power to the wheels...its a pocket rocket not a performance oriented car like the 350Z.
I would take one, don't get me wrong but I still don't consider it on par with the 350Z.
Oh, and just because women drive them and kids ride in them doesn't mean they aren't performance oriented...if that were the case Mustang GT's and Corvettes are not performance cars either.
