whatever floats your boat.... But know that the insurance on a 350z for a 20 year old male will be high....

keep the scion, more room + it will probably end up cheaper with the turbo

Well If I was in your position and money is not an issue go 350z and hook that up.

This is a scion forum most people will tell you to keep the tC.
But these two are very different cars so the real question is what do you want

i'd choose a 350z perferrably.. but know when your modding the Z it's not going to be as cheap as the TC.. they have a V6 we don't.. they're parts are JDM our's aren't.. so how much money ya got?

I'd rather be driving a stock RWD than a turbo'd FWD.
Straight driving isn't fun for me.

The 350Z is a fabulous car, and it will come down to what is most important to you.
A few years ago I found myself in the possession of a large insurance check and was seriously considering the Z. In the end however, I decided that a backseat and fuel economy were more important than satisfying my lust.
I don't regret my decision of the tC since the aftermarket has been so kind to it, and matching/exceeding the Z's power is not impossible.
You will have to take a long look at this choice, and don't rush it; look at all the pros and cons.

Haha the guy asked for opinions without really stating what his intentions are...

If you want more girls, get the Z.
If you want more attention online and at meets, turbo the tC.
Daily driver? Weekend warrior? Drag strip? Auto-X? Shows? Compensating for something?

Can't really give you an opinion unless we know what your needs are.

It's all on you to choose and there won't be any hate given from me. When I got the tC it became my most expensive impulse buy to date. If I had time to actually find something else I would've got me a used G35 for the price of a new tC. My first mod for the G if I had one? Like I did my tC, find the most expensive exhaust available. For the G35 I'd have to go with Top Secret(full titanium dual exhaust) retailing above $3,000 .

350z...about 305hp and 280 or so lbs of torque, how can you go wrong? Its also a RWD car and if I could ever afford one, I'd buy it.

And if you going for the $30K model you can have the LSD as well.

I'm not a big Nissan fan so I'll say stick with the tC.
