You can have a taste of the 3.7 anytime then, no need for you to trade. And if they find a way to do engine swaps, well, look no further than the other side of the driveway

I just bought my 350z not too long ago, and I plan on paying it off. Even after 6 months she still gives me goosebumps going up an on-ramp or blasting through a tunnel or underpass. I really can't think of any other car I'd rather own besides a Ferrari F355, and we all know that's not going to happen any time soon.
I don't like the design of the 370z, it's too busy, the clean creased lines of the 350 is what appealed to me in the first place, and the VQ is very tasty icing on the cake. I'll have it until it dies if I can help it!

with the economy at this state i'm not going to buy a new car for awhile. and honestly i cannot give a real opinion on the 370z for i have yet to see one in person and i haven't seen enough review videos to make a final judgment. What I can say for sure is the 370z looks good, except for its whole rear end. they did to the 370z what they have been done to 90% of new infiniti's, horrible a$$. but then again seeing the 370z in the best motoring video I can say for sure its a track beast a step above the 350.

I plan on keeping it for now. It's pretty much built how I want it. Maybe I'll sell it and start a new project one day...

Been trying to sell mine for some time now with basically no luck. I've kept it in the garage- driving it a few times a month- but just last week, drove it the whole week... Man I love this car...

I wish I didn't buy another car because it would make taking the Z off the market so much easier.

I am keeping mine and going to keep upgrading and paying it down. I will have it for at least a few more years or longer.

I gave it a lot of thought and I decided to keep mine. She has 127k miles on her and still going strong. Since I decided to keep her I am going to go ahead with the supercharger so that will hold me over for a while

I've only owned mine for about 5 months. I paid cash for it so there is no loan to worry about. I plan on keeping it. That doesn't mean that I might not change my mind at some point, but the car is fun to drive and comfortable. It isn't too hard on gas if I drive it like an adult. Tire's will be expensive, but I can live with that. I have other cars to drive for those times when the Z isn't practical. Assuming I put 10k miles on it a year, I can see me hanging on to it until it has 100k. It has 23k on it now.

Test drove a left over 08 C6 about a month ago. HOLY SH*T!!! She is all I think about now and I desire her more everyday.

Afraid my Z's days are numbered. If it wasn't for the damn trade in value of my Z, I would have made the jump already.

Long story short, I've owned the following - 04 350z, 04 Audi s4, 03 bmw m3, 07 335i, and 09 wrx. Just traded the 09 wrx for a 08 base 350 and have no regrets. All of these cars were great in their own way and i'm back to a Z. I looked closely at the 370z but couldn't justify the extra 9k and honestly didn't like the rear end. I ended up getting the 08 350 for 22k and plan on keeping it for a while. Any more trades and my wife might divorce me!! Plan on adding a greddy tt in a year or two. Just doing the stereo, lsd, and rear spoiler for now.

My Z and I have a bright future planned. I have wanted one forever, and now that I have one I'm not going to trade it for a newer model. Not after all I had to do to get the damn thing.

With a vehicle this great, the enthusiast network and the passion that people have for their Zs will not go away soon. In 40 years, when everyone is driving electrics or hybrids or whatever, these will be the among the classic cars that marked the height of the dirty, wonderful, gasoline based internal combustion engine. This vehicle has nice lines and great performance. I'm not getting rid of it any time soon...and there will be a faster/newer vehicle every 6 months to a year so trying to stay on top of that would be ridiculous anyway. It is a Z. Just be happy with it!

I have no plans on selling my 350Z. It's a great combination of power and handling. I like the new 370 and may eventually purchase one, but for now I am more than satisfied with my 04 roadster. Besides I also have a first gen and a second gen Z as well and eventually plan on owning one from every generation. Now if the guy I've been talking to about his 300ZXT AE would come down a little on his price I could add a Z31 to the mix!
