I'd pick a 370z mainly because it looks aggressive. If I had to choose between a 2IS and a 350z though, I'd go for 2IS.

thanks for the input guys..yeah 350z is definitely faster than 2IS IS300. But comfort definitely goes to 2IS. I'll try to test drive 350z and maybe I can know the difference between these two awesome cars how i wish IS350 is available here...

I've been around 350Z's before.

I would trade my IS250 for a lot of cars.... BUT NOT A Z

My previous car is 350z and my current car is IS350. The IS350 is a better car IMO.

I just switched about 3 weeks ago from a 2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe to a 2008 is350. I drove a an is250 first just to see how it was but I knew it would not be quick enough coming from my G35. The 350 is faster than the G35 was by a noticeable margin. Going from a is250 to a 350Z you will like the power but the Lexus is much nicer interior and quality wise even compared to the Infiniti.

Well I am a 300ZX fan myself

I did not care too much for the 350Z, have heard good things about the 370Z.

But find me a 300ZX Twin Turbo with low mileage in great shape, and I would trade my IS with money. Not really, but I found this GEM on Ebay

I almost cried when they were beating the ***** out of one on Top Gear

Same here. I think the Z handled a lot better but the IS350 takes the cake on everything else.

I went from a 350Z to the IS350.
The Z is nice, but only 2 seaters, but I think the handling is better than the IS350.
I went against the IS350 a few times when I had the Z and I can see that the IS350 is a little quicker. But there are also times where I beat the IS350 too.. soo its the matter of your reaction time.

I've got a habit of mentioning this to the '06 owners, especially the new ones. Since you have an '06 IS350, you do know that you can turn traction control off using the pedal dance right (and that traction control off will yield far better acceleration from a dig)

If I were looking at a Z, this would get my vote



Park this next to a 350 at a car show and see who gets more looks.
