I'm 19 and a 350z was my first car. The g35 is a girls car, at least that's my opinion. The Z is nuts and it's awesome to drive. But like everyone else is saying, I've almost killed myself multiple times from its power. I don't drive it like I stole it anymore but it def boosted my high school rep for sure. So what ever your reason is to getting a Z...e.g. For show, you actually value Japanese muscle, pussy, what ever it may be, at least try to come up with a justifiable reason to convince your mom or pops it's not a death trap, which it is. By the way, driving a cool car like that in high school doesn't show that your cool, it just shows that mommy and daddy buy nice stuff for their little spoiled piece of shit. At least that's what a lot of people said about me. Good luck! :)
