Just got my oil changed up at my local nissan dealership and i saw two magnetic black 370's and one blue. They were nice but the interior was nicer and while i was waiting on my car to be out of service i talked to one of the salesman for a little while about the car and he wanted to know if i wanted to go for a ride...I was like H3ll Yea. So we took a short ride around the general area of the dealership and all i have to say is...nice, the sychrorev match was pretty cool too. The car handeled very nicely and for the updated weight specs on C&D this z definitly makes up for it...the guy cherped the tires in 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd, the exhaust was also really quiet until you get on it and even then it wasnt that load. It was a completely different feeling than my 03 base with a few bolt ons but i also have to say is that fully loaded its $41950 sticker price and the base sticker prise was like 35K so im definitly not getting one. I still didnt like the headlights and fangs in person but the taillights were nice (didnt like those in pics either) but hey the fangs can be fixed with an aftermarket bumper. Overall the car is nice IMO

 

Cool, thanks for the report. Were they asking over sticker?

 

i dont believe they were asking for anything over the sticker price (no markups atleast) but you still have the usual...tag, tax and title.

 

I also have an '03, and bought brand new in 2002. It's time for a change...

Aside from the price tag, do you feel it's a nice upgrade? Does it look noticeably smaller? As for acceleration (minus chirping tires), do you feel the potential? Lately my Z feels "heavy" and boring since it has been 65k, and I've not done anything besides change belts and oil.

If I simply want power, the Corvette would be the better. The Z is fast enough if it's everything better than my '03.

 

different in what way? felt much quicker acceleration?

 

In this month's C&D the 0-60 time was 4.9 secs. That's almost a full second faster than the 350z.

 

So it was a touring w/ sport and nav packages? Thats what I am looking for.

 

People need to understand 0-60 means nothing. The 350Z can run low-5s with decent tires. The Z was always held back by its terrible Potenzas. Look at the 1/4 trap speeds for a good indication of how much quicker a car is.

 

great info - did the car look noticeably wider? Thanks

 

was this at the avenues? im due for an alignment on mine and would enjoy flogging the 370

 

I think I am after a Touring with a Sport package???? I already have a portable GPS and iPod so the Nav and Music Box is no use for me.

 

yes it was at the avenues and to everybody else that asked it was definitly an upgrade from the 350z and the modding potential is DEFINITLY there and it was noticibly wider...maybe only because a blue roadster was parked next to it

 

I say if there any 08 350z's still for sale buy buy buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are a better all around the 370z.........fail.........

 

Can you quantify this statement please? I want so badly to believe you have a point, but your communication skills must be so far advanced that I can't even see where in your post you left clues to your messianic message that will save me from my troubling lust for a 370Z.

 

in.the.dark EXACTLY!!!!

 

350z > 370z

 

A rsx should be faster......... Its half the car the 350z is

 

this months motortrend(see my thread) is even faster @ 4.7 0-60.

 

The RE050A's are great performance tires. The only downside (and a major reason why they aren't liked by much) is that these tires are freaking loud, mediocre on rain and tire wear.
