it makes the Z33 look like it was designed in the 90's...and it might as well be...

 

Dated my ***.

 

^damn!!! that 370 doesnt have **** on the 350 in the pics above, its beautiful!!!! is that yours?

 

^That's a 350z with a (sorta OEM) bodykit, drop, wheels, etc. Not quite an apples to apples comparison.

 

Damn that Z is hot! Might have to pull the trigger on Nismo body kit soon.

 

looks squared off.

 

Just got back and here are my thoughts on the 370 if anyone cares:

The lights don't look bad at all but then again I always liked them. The interior is a decent step up but it still seemed of the same quality. I was expecting really high quality considering what everyone was raving about. It's honestly about the same with a few improvements here and there, which should be expected. The driver's seat and gauge layout is nice...feels very cockpit like. The sport pack rims simply look awesome in person...probably the first thing I noticed. Pics do not do the rims any justice. Having said that nothing beats a pair of aftermarket wheels.

Compared to my 350 there seems to be marginally more room in the 370. The base/sport pack model interior looks much cheaper than the touring....I think it partly due to the ugly *** stereo that looks out of place, but I guess the aftermarket can fix that. The touring interior looks much better and would be the one I would end up with ultimately. The brakes look phenomenal and are ridiculously huge- front and rear!!

On to the colors....yellow and blue were present. The blue is much lighter than daytona as we all knew. Its most def on the smurf side of the spectrum. I hate it even more than what I originally hoped to. Yellow looked decent IMO...much better than the yellow on the 350 at least. I kind of agree with some members when they say the car looks kinda toyish. Its really the color selection that does this to the car. I'll go with white, silver, or black for this reason.

To sum up:
The car is an evolution of the 350 and the pics were dead on IMO. Still better to see in person as the true size of the vehicle is realized. The car just looks more "toyish or childish" for lack of better terms. I think this is mostly due to the color options Nissan presented. I don't see many guys purchasing the blue one for some reason. Daytona blue was a "sportier" blue. The new blue is just weird IMO and kinda girly. In the end I still love the car but it'll be black, silver, gray or white for me in an effort to not look teenagerish. No offense to any teens on here of course..

 

And it still looks a little dated.

 

You can't actually be comparing a stock 370Z to that 350Z, can you? Either way the 370Z still holds its own against that Z, imo. But it may just be due to the fact that I'm not a huge fan of blacked out headlights, eyelids, or that god-awful Z emblem I've seen on every single modded 350Z.

 

That's a friend of mines 350z used to compare above. I was there when he took the photo. Also, his looks slightly newer because its an 06 and his mods. My 03 looks dated next to his car.

 

i like the new Z.. i want one.

 

All this talk about being "dated." Let's ask the question, "Would the 350Z look dated if the 370 was made by Toyota or Hyundai?" The answer is no. There is a psychological effect here. Because it is a newer model, our minds naturally look at the previous model as being a "dated" design, when in fact, the 350 design is miles ahead of other current automotive models.

I speculate if the 350 design came out new today, it would be the hottest thing on the block. References to the word "dated" refer to styling queues of certain time frames in history, not one model to the next.

 

Does anyone know the story behind these wheels? I like them better than the ones we've been seeing on most photos. Is one sport-package and one base? If so, which is which?

 

Those are 18's and are on the base models.

 

Thanks!
