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..

One point: There have been comments in the threads concerning the 37O's reliability...
...Anyone heard about it? Transmission & cooling system issues are the ones I remember
at this time.

If they brought back Daytona Blue, I would seriously consider moving up from my redline 07. Can't do it for Smurf blue though. Daytona blue would be hot on the GTR too. Daytona Blue FTW!
I like the looks of the fender gap with the shipping coil clamps installed. And why do these not look like they have the hidesous, weak offsets that we saw on the z-tour cars? Hmmm...
I'd love to have the first 350whp 370 with bolt-ons and tune!

Helps prove my point even more... There are cali plates on the altima and the maxima.. not on the Z... and "alhambra" is socal which also pretty much aligns with the AZ borders... I saw that truck w/ those Z's around 1:00 am last night which translates into THIS morning.
Why would I lie?

the Z's were nice, but it was a little cramped for the taller people. the hatch doesnt have as much space as my Z32 which i find annoying. i can fit so much crap in my z it's rediculous. but! i like the foam, and hard plastic cover for the back, that way nothing breaks through it. theres alot of extra room to be had if you remove this stuff. which i think will actually be a common mod do to have much space is being taken up.
I also saw underneath the Z not much room for a big exhuast to go through the Vbrace.
the sides of the engine bay are tight but eveything else seems like it would be easy to work on.

Sounds like most guys here aren't familiar with the Nissan lot in San Pedro, CA. I've been there and let me tell you...there are miles and miles of cars stacked deeper than two football fields. They are unloaded from the ships then placed on transfer trucks such as the one pictured for close deliveries and trains for further stops.
What was interesting to me was how poorly the cars are treated by the assclowns that load the cars onto the trains and trucks. I'm talking 5k launches with tires smoking onto the ramp and trying to pull 180 drifts in the parking lot. I guess thats to be expecte though? :shrug:

take a look at the tie down straps. the cars are basically lowered maybe an inch to an 1.5in than stock height giving the illusion of haing less wheel gap and nicer offset rims.
