Came Close to trading in my ST, with 2006 350Z Options

This past Saturday I saw a 2006 Convertible at a local dealer and went to check it out. they offered $2000 for my car in trade in but would not reduce the price on the Z. Upon further check in I found that2006 Zs have a oil consumption issue on earlier manufactured models. Also have CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder) failure issues due to plastic parts. So good thing that I did not buy that car. I offered a decent price but they would not come down due to low miles on the car. I had a strange feeling of betrayal.

My brother has a Genesis Coupe and they're fairly nice cars for their price. The 2.0T is based on the Mitsubishi 4B11T and is a pretty capable motor, handling capability is good but from the times I've driven it they seem somewhat understeer prone and the front end feels a little heavy. I think the staggered wheel fitment, even from the factory, is somewhat to blame for this. From my understanding the 2.0T is the one to go with since there really isn't much in the way of easy power with the V6. Found this Edmunds comparison of the V6 against a G37: https://www.edmunds.com/hyundai/genesis-cou...ison-test1.html

The only benefit of a Mustang is having a V8 with a manual, but then there's the Camaro that's better in every regard and also offers a V8 with a manual.
