If in the unlikely case that happens, I will buy one, WERDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.

ya but in reality I am one of those doods in the Northeast and we have all kinds of snow and rain for half the year. that's why I can't consider a 350z rite now.........

Maybe 370z will change that! :]

Haven't heard anything regarding AWD. But do what I did get your self a beater and buy a 350z for the months that it is nice out.

hmm maybe I will give that a shot,,, I can't imagine picking up a used car for like a grand or two or whatever,, I always buy cars brand new. I am concerned that the older car will have reliability issues and stuff.

Would be nice to afford a Z plus a new camry or something, hehe.

the cheap beaters are how you learn! The beaters i've had helped me learn how to do things on a car. Boosted my confidence towards today. I still have a lot to learn but i can do a lot more than i could before i owned a beater that i had to work on a lot....

well there's the g35x.. it's AWD.. and it's auto...and it's a sedan... but it got the same platform as the 350z for the most part...

i dont know if he's a member here or not, but there was one guy that made his z into an awd. god knows how much he spent doing that conversion, but i think its cool and funcational as well. different you know, but yeah back into topic, i drive an evo for winter months. not really a beater but it gets me to work and back safely. it would cool to see the 370 awd though.

that reminds me, JUN Auto converted a Z33 to AWD. that thing was absolutely amazing. mated it to an R32 GT-R drivetrain or something. you should see the engine... custom twin turbos, just wow. i saw it in super street a while back.

let's see if i can find a picture.

well, i did!

wow. hope you enjoyed. search JUN Auto 350Z and you should find more.

the drivetrains found the g35xs were built around comfort and stability and etc, the R3x drivetrains were built around performance

I think the drivetrain on the g35x is magnetic driven... so less likely to break... that is also why it's an automatic...

engineers tend to overdesign things... if it can be done go for it...

don't give up when something fails... just make it better!
