RSX is faster.
HR is faster.

But really, which one is faster?

The biggest question I have. 350z or 370z? My 350 has 65k on it. I drive it hard, extended trips, 85 to 90 degree humid days in Ohio. It never overheats with stock cooling system. I talked to a 370 Nismo owner who is driving in the same conditions. Two weeks ago he drove from Pittsburg to Cleveland running 70 to 75 most of the way , running 235 water temp. Saturday I talked to a 370 base owner who is running his around 235 water temp. Both are talking putting oil coolers on their cars, not factory provided. Should it be a warranty problem? Seems like a design flaw.

No compromises and it has the sexiest OEM wheels I have ever seen on a car. Guess I will just save up for that for a couple of years..lol. Or at least until I get some of this debt off of my hands. I went upside down like $8000 on my 03' 350z.

The 370's out here get to drive around in limp mode all the time. The 370 has 4 stages of limp based off oil temp. Duringt he summer, they are always in 1 or 2, then the track puts it in full limp.

I would go 350Z just for that.

I'd take the nismos 350z hands down. Looks better (to me), less common, and I've read the the brakes are shitty on the 370z....

well I tested the nismo 370z and the 370z and I own a 350z DE. so any way the 370z in basically awesome I f*#$ing love it. drive like nothing out there. but one thing bothers me every time I get in a 370z it's the steering wheel oh my god why is that and the handling in the 370z as I felt is litter then it is in the 350z. it might only be a feeling issue but that's what I felt. any way this is the question that you need to answer "weather if you want to modify or leave your car with bolt-ons and stuff like that?" If you want to modify go with a 350z HR but not nismo cuz it's cheeper and easier to find. and if you want a car to use as a daily driven cool good looking car and leave it with bolt-ons so the 370z is the one to go.

The 370 brakes are actually not bad... at least not when retrofitted to the 350z . I have the Akebono BBK on my '03 and absolutely love the brakes.

Sorry boys and girls but this has already been beat to death in these threads....

... and many more like it. To the OP - it should be obvious there is no clear-cut answer and that you're going to have to do the research and decide for yourself.
