Default Cramping the 370....350 Style!

I thought the 370 wasn't that good looking from looking at all the pictures of it, but in person im liking it. So here's a few pictures of me and Duke cramping it up.






























unfortunately our keys didn't work!

it depends on what you're used to IMO. i checked out that same 370z yesterday, it's a 3 finger gap on the rear wheels. about the same maybe a little less on the front wheels.

Nice post. Really gives a good sense of how the two cars compare visually.

I think the old Z looks better,BUT, the design is getting kinda old(especailly on the tailights) and i'm not saying the new design looks better but it is diffenrett and kinda refreshing.

For those of you who have checked-out the 370, what is the leg-room and head-room like compared to the 350?

I was trying to give myself and everyone a good comparison. Im not to sure about how the interior stands up to ours as if it is roomy or not, but from what i can tell just by looking inside is that it does have a sportier/tighter seating. Only thing that was kinda ehh, was the seats looked the same as ours. I would of expected at the least some type of recaro seats.

I am tending to like the new design, but in the same sense its no longer a Z look but mostly a sort of porche style look. If i were oblivious i'd think on the road it looked like a porsche.

Your Z/Duke is hot and semi mod I like the black on Black and the inkling of red Nice 350Z the white Z is sharp too, I guess I just like the way the Z looks. And unlike some I really like the sleeker design of he 370Z and for sure I wish all Z33s had the 370Zs interior non of this hard plastic hard core sports car look, hell leave tha to the Lotus Elsie. Looking at both side by side makes me want to keep my Red 350 and buy a 370Z but I've had two Zs before and thats too much of a good thing.

Great pictures I like the matching Jump suit also!!

You guys sure cramped the living hell outta the 370z. The black 350Z looks small compared to the 370z and the white 350z:
