Sorry, I missed the part where the Z owner was claiming his was a real sports car over the other ones in the team…
Skylines by them selves are not fast. They were the equivalent of the infinity G35 (which in current form is a 350z with a back seat.) The GTS and GTR skylines are the fast ones. As for the Altima and the G35, the G35 is predominantly a rear wheel drive car. The Altima is front (also the Maxima is front.) The Infinity equivalent to the front wheel drive Nissans was a model called the I35 which I don’t think they still produce.
In my opinion 2003 the 350Z was a well priced sports car. Mine was 27k new. Compare that to the 2003 Mustang or Camaro (Did they still make them then???) The Z was pretty solid. Under powered compared to the corvettes and higher end sports cars, but 300hp out of a NA V6 is not bad numbers. When you are comparing stats are you comparing the V6’s models against each other or are you comparing the V8 domestics to a luxury version of the V6 350z?
