Is350 2nd gen?

Also it currently is my fun weekend car, I have a shitbox Corolla but I’m sick of paying insurance and rego for two cars, worrying about storing two cars, and wasting money modifying the z

Have you considered not modifying the car and just keeping the thing reliable? Just finding one without pods/cone filter nonsense is like digging for gold.

Shhhhhhhh we'll get another influx of 2IS ricers if they find out the 350 is a god tier daily, the proportions are perfect and if you're really into speeeeed you can get an IS-F

Also if your ears work do NOT buy one without Mark Levinson sound option boy is it an excellent system.

Also if you get one go for pre 2011 you'll get a better built car and you can get the AFS headlight option.

Yeah sorry, no. 0 to 60 on is350 is 5.6 on the cts 4.5 and yes the IS350 is slow but those cts are trash so I would get the IS350 If I could afford a second or third gen cts I would be happy.

You're high go look online they've been rated for 4.9 0-60 on ClubLexus with ideal conditions. The gearing is perfect for daily performance and for romping in the 350 rwd. Only issue is it's not a pdk transmission so it doesn't shift crazy quick.

Youre the dude on the NZ 300z pages wanting to swap or upgrade arent you? IS is nice, quick enough (considering) and practical enough (considering youre used to a Z lol) comfortable enough aswell. But the problem i found is that its much like when i upgraded to a 2010 VE commodore. Its quicker, quieter and more comfortable than my Z but its too... Sterile. Less emotion. Less raw fun. Yes my VE would do 260kmh but felt too 'safe' and 'boring' doing so. Couldnt get very hektic, and the sound was lacklusting. I dont miss the 300s suspension tho especially on CHCH post quake roads. So whilst i still prefer my commie as an all rounder, you will miss the Z and its lack of restraint assuming its had a hicas delete

It is, but i drove both back to back and the standard 13 speaker system is pretty dam good. I wouldn't not buy one just because it didn't have the ML system in it.

Adjust the equalizer and try again. ML blows the stock one out of the water if you actually are into audio you'd realize. I've owned several 2IS cars and the ML one is game changing. I listen to music in many vehicles and the ML is powerful and fully balanced. Pioneer isn't bad but lacks fullness and bass.
