Head-to-head pics: 05 350Z vs 370Z
Just got back from test driving the new 370z black on black with the sport package 6 speed. It was the most refreshing improvement in a vehicle I have ever seen. I LOVED EVERYTHING minus the front grille. Nissan did it perfectly. Not too much not too little. A simple dose of 1/3 performance + 1/3 tech increase + 1/3 style difference. I will buy one soon and from Key Nissan from Hardeville, SC. They were going to give it to me for 2k less than the 34k sticker!! Couldn't get one yet but in a couple months I will be able to get one.

Ya'll need to stop posting pics because I'm getting an itch to buy again. If I was getting one, it would be white, but that yellow one, I'm mesmerized. My plan is still the same, if I have to have one, it would be 2-3 years from now. Whoever buys them, more power to you because there is nothing like driving a new model car, but there is nothing like having money saved from ridiculous markups.

Actually, the front seems higher because it IS higher for safety regulations which requires cars to have a certain hood height. That was the main reason for the hood bulge on the 07 350z. Secondly, going by actual tech specs, the 350z is more height. It's one thing to compare stock cars, and it's another to compare cars with modified height not to mention how ever long your car has been sitting on said suspension and has time to settle. Seems like a lot of 350z owners are defense and think their car is better. The same happens every generation as the Z32 crowd did in 2003..... Same song different tune.

Eh. Who cares, you can't see out the rear window anyway. That's what the huge side mirrors are for! LOL!
Nissan subscribes to the idea that if you drive a Z, then you don't really need to know what is behind you! LOL!

I drove one yesterday and you can see better out the rear window than the 350, I think the mirrors are bigger because the side windows are now irrelevant. I also think they disposed of the rear wiper to "save weight"

However, you have a good point about the side windows. If the side mirrors weren't as big as they are, the blindspot would be huge.
