Help me decide s14 or 350z

[liquidchicken]

Hey all, was just curious what everyone thinks is the better buy... I'm 18 and going into college soon and really enjoy cars, I'm trying to sell my current car to buy my first "performance car"... I live in the Northeast so I assume both will be trash in the snow but that's what I'm signing up for... While I don't like throwing around how much money I have I've gone to see a nicely built s14 KA-T build I found on Craigslist and I loved it, but for the same ammount of money I could buy one of the cheaper 350z's ive seen online.. I want to do alot of body work to either one so condition isnt sooooo big of a deal, but I also want to take whatever car I buy to the track like once or twice a month to drift a little.. was just curious which do you guys think is the better buy? I love the looks of the stock s14 alot more but I love the out-of-the-box performance of the 350 more, along with it being an overall newer car with most likely less wear
