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.

Well this won't be happening anytime soon so I am in no rush. I was just wondering if anyone had a video or link which shows if the extra chassis strengthening put it in the same category as the 370z. I guess the win win is the Nismo 370z. 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.
buy what you can afford, dont get stuck with a big note.

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.

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.

... 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.
