Yes I know. Welcome to Time Warner Roadrunner where for the last 15 minutes my internet has been running at about 2K/second if that.

Many people in the thread already hit the key points. These cars are definately in different leagues. It is like comparing a Porsche Carrera to a SC 430. RElatively, the prices are the same, but they market to different crowds. The SC 430 did not have sportiness as the number one priority in mind, unlike BMW and Porsche. Instead, it is just a weekend cruiser that has all the features of a luxury car. Yet, it does have some sportiness with the 3UZ-FE engine and slightly more aggressive tuning of the ECU. One cannot go wrong with the 350z, compared to the other cars in that class.

350Z
Cheaper and looks better too.
Oh, and as a plus for the 350Z, they make forced induction for it now, so you can really haul ass.

Theres something about those cheesy rims that make me think they are hubcaps.
About the ONLY thing the SC430 has going for it, is the fact that it has a hard top convertible which is really cool.
Only the MB SLK and SL have the other hard top convertibles on the planet(as far as I know)

Other vehicles with a retractable hard top:

Cadillac XLR
MB SL-series
MB SLR
Chevy SSR
Hyundai Tiburon CSS (this may or may not make it to production)


I wouldn't be surprised if there are others that I'm forgetting.

You would not buy either of these cars in that case.

Or you could go with an '04 Lotus Elise. Its only $39k and goes 0-60 in 4.7 secoonds. It also has a removable hardtop. My new atainable dream car.
