To Z or not to Z?
 
Hey guys I am a newbie to the forum. I was all set to buy a '03-'05 Z coupe thanks to having some questions about tire wear issue answered by members of this forum. However, a wrench has been thrown into my plans. I recently found a '05 Altima SE-R with 29,000 miles on it for sale. Charcoal with black/red leather. 6 speed, all the goodies. Now I'm not sure what to go with. I'm sure considering this is a Z forum you are all partial to the Z, but I wanted your opinion anyway. I love cars and will alter my lifestyle around whatever I get, so the back seat is not a good deciding factor, although it would be convenient. The SE-R is also $4000 cheaper. A great deal actually at $17,000. I am a 23 yr old recent college grad and I need something fitting to pickup semi drunk ATL chicks. :unibrow: Anyway... HELP!

if you want a "Z" with a back seat get a G coupe, or get th 350. thats how i see it, SE-R altima is kinda on the other end of the car spectrum and to me yells im an old family man that needs a family car but i want a sports car but my wife has my balls in her purse so ill desguise a sports car into a family car and get an altima SE-R. lol

A car will only get you so far in that aspect (meaning not very far). An Altima isn't gunna please many women like a Vette, Ferrari, or Porsche would. :D

damn straight, even then it's ususally not the car...
but between the Altima and the Z for girls... get the Z
This is just a guess here but I'd imagine the resell value would be higher for the Z as well

hahahahaha... It's true...
as for the younger group, in my personal opinion, you'll get more respect from other ricers driving a Z than an SE-R
I hate the R on the end. It just makes me think they glued it on there to make it cooler...

snwbrderphat540 Apr 23, 2007 04:11 PM

OH YEAH ^^^^ forgot about that, FWD sucks donkey (insert profane word here)

its AWD of RWD for life!

Yeah but I can get more than 5000 miles out of an Altima. Still a little worried about that problem... I'de rather spend money on new mods than buying the same thing over and over.

I have solved my issue with springs and wider rims and I have 555's:)

What about this guy? I've pretty much set my sights on a Z33 just wondering how much money I'll have to spend on it in the first year on this so I can start budgeting for mods. But every single 350 doesn't have this problem... right?

What are 555's?
