To be honest, i agree with alot of what they say. I always felt ripped off that they introduced the HR in the last two years of the 350s production. And the 370 is what the 350 should have been off the get go. Nonetheless, although the 350 might not amount to the 370, it is still an amazing car, and can handle with the best of them, especially with some basic brake and suspension mods. Not to mention, it has one of the best factory exhaust notes ever created. My car turns heads, and i always get approached with compliments. The 350 is a great car, and i have no regrets. Z for life.

i do feel they were a little bias towards the 300...but i do agree with the d-bag when he says that nissan addressed the interior issues with the 370...it definiteley is a lot more refined and nicer looking...but is it any more functional?....i like an interior where everything is right where i need it to be and thats what i get in my 350...idk y so much hate for the 350...i always get tons of attention (good and bad of course) and never get bored of it...idk y he said he would get bored of it in a day...whats he drive then a lamborghini?...all in all i think these guys have no qualifications other than the fact that the have a camera crew and thats just sad for anyone in the market for a 350 but finds this dumb crap first...

The '85 300ZX I bought new was a LOT easier to get into and out of than the '08 I've got now, but I really can't blame that on Nissan.
I had an '88 300ZX and it sat lower to the ground, had a much crappier suspension, and only a bit over 200 HP, NA. The Z31 is one of the least popular of all of the Z cars. I kind of like the few Turbo versions I have ridden in but the Z32 was a far cry better. the Z32 TT also topped out at about $45,000, and that was in 1995 dollars. An awful lot of money for 300 HP. I know plenty of people who currently own both a TT and a 350Z and most say the driving experience is much better in the 350, other than pure acceleration. Now a "built" 300 TT is another story, but then so is the money.

you say the price on the z32tt was high. i am an owner of a fully loaded z32tt with the orginal sticker priced over 40k as well. but how was the supra tt? i agree with you about this, but the z32tt wasnt the only car to be questioned, "why so much?".
but with its' advance features like 4-wheel steering, the turbos, and the t-tops, not many other cars had that at the time.

have you ever sat in a z32tt? it's like a cockpit. all air controls and what-not are attatched to the steering column.

Sorry the guy with the trailer park mullet really didn't make sense with any of his oxymorons. They were completely irrelevant.

And when he said he couldn't find a point to break loose in the 350... uhm... that's what turbos are for? If you wanna drift it. Slap a turbo on it....

if u wanna drift, put a turbo on it? that doesnt make any sense.

and this was to compare the 3 z's oem. what they come with and how they are. it wasnt to see how much you can modify the car. if that was the case, there wouldn't be any comparison.
and id agree with him. the 350z has 0 top end. but good throttle response.

I wont doubt the 300 is pretty powerful, but i've driven it and im not to fond of the car. The long haired guy is infatuated because i mean come on he owns one himself. Who wouldn't give there own car props.

I have yet to drive the 370, but im sure it has that race feel. Honestly speaking and perhaps due to owning one i love the 350.

so F_ _K Them Other Z's! haha

I used to agree with what that dude said about the back end of the 350 Z when they first came out but after some time I started to love it.Its definitely unique looking in the rear.Those stock rims on the 2005z are awful.I always thought that the 300zx was one of the best looking cars ever made,that body design was ahead of its time.

i believe you got a "situation" on your hands. haha, (cuz youre from new jersey). but anyways.

i owned a 350z for 3 years. loved the car so much. but after modding, i spent so much money, and it doesnt really give you much power...
then i started fist pumping and looked into the 300zx. drove one for the first time with bolt-ons. giving the car 381rwhp. it just took off. so i ended up buyin it lol. and the power, the nicer interior than the z33 i had, AND t-tops?! cmon...you gotta drive one again!

"all i care about is hooking up with girls and going to the gym" - the situation.

Im not knocking the 300. I like the car do not get me wrong. Just the vid seems a lil swayed toward the cars that these guys own. 350 is like the neglected middle child...

Yeah I have seen this. To me it seems like a really bad Top Gear impersonation.

with this kind of show. I think they have to get Mike Rowe or Bear Grylls to drive the cars.

a 300zx is normally a loose, unreliable , old piece of crap.. you cannot even compare it to a 350z.. interiors are garbage and exteriors are falling apart unless you spend 20k dollars one that had been fully restored.. what kinda of review is this ****

you're an idiot.

have you ever heard of, "you pay for what you get"?
a lot of people buy beat up 300zx's for 3k and try fixing it up.
why do they buy beat up ones? because a nice condition z32tt is pretty hard to find. i drove 12 hours one way to check a burgandy twin turbo, wanted it, but 3 days later one popped up about 45mins away from me. bought it for 16k. there is not a scratch on my 300zxtt on the outside or even a crack in the leather seats.

you dont know what you're talking about at all. if you didn't know, the sticker price on the 300zxtt was much more expensive than the 350z ever was. that's why a nicely maintained 300zxtt has much better resale value than a 350z would.
you're just mad because you drive a really slow car.
