HR Owners..Regret?
After driving the 370 and driving my 07 for 2 years I would keep my 07. Check out my review. I have the money to make a deal but the 370 doesnt turn my crank. It doesnt have the wow factor.
One thing that pops out at me about the new Z is the cornering and braking improvement. I mean, how many g's does this thing pull stock? Quite impressive. The chassis just seems way more sorted out and is a far better base to build on than the 350Z. To me that is important. Sure it may not be much quicker than the 350Z but the potential is far greater. Straight line acceleration is just a smart part of the equation. A fun car comes from a car that can go in out out of twisties. Also, the interior of the 350Z always bothered me. It seems to be a hold over from when Nissan was on its last legs and was cutting corners. The 370Z interior seems like the results of a car company that can afford better materials. I think the interior is an significant improvement in itself.

I do visit the dragstrip so all go does make sense...i try to keep my car as stock looking as possible for the sleeper look...making my car look all flashy is nice and i do intend to do that in the future but my performance takes priority
Nothing wrong with the grunt of a good American V8. But if it were me I would go for the new Camaro. I think it looks better and I am sure you can drop some nice Vette parts in there cheap.
How on earth did you get such a nice car as a "gift"? I remember seeing photos of the Nismo and didn't like it then I saw one in person on the street and I was like "wow"! Nice looking car. A real head turner, has quite a presence.

cant wait to see one...reviews and all the pics i still have to see one for myself..hell maybe even a test drive but i doubt it..Nissan dealership sucks ***** around here..
this is for all you HR owners...give me your honest answer...i notice that alot of the "hating"..idk if i should use that word but to me its the most suitable...anyways..alot of the "hating" of the 370 is comming from HR owners..if you could do it all over again..would you change your purchase?370Z or stick with you relatively new HR?
2. Power is the only reason I would buy this car over mine.
3. Looks... the Roof line is the best part about the 370. Other than that, the 350 takes the cake.

"street carp", I like it. Funny. Although I do like the way the front end looks too. If it were perfect it would be an Alfa 8c. But how much do one of those costs? The 370Z looks pretty darn good considering the price tag.
1. The interior on the 370z is not what it was hyped up to be. The only difference between my 08 interior and the 370's is the push start button, center console buttons and an apparent update to general looks. The interior doesnt look ANY BETTER it just looks newer.

Are we looking at the same car? 370z looks worlds different and better than the 07-08 350z..cockpit is alittle more contured toward the driver,steering wheel is alot smaller and looks more racy..also the center dash looks more upscale with the faux leather w/stitching and suede inner door panels.
+1 on the 370z roofline, reminds me of the double bubble rx-7(fd3s) very sexy.
Even if there were regrets, HR owners would Never admit it... and they would give you the whole self righteous bit about how they are 100% content. Now do I beleive that there are HR owners who are 100% happy, YES of, course. But that prob accounts for like 10%. The majority are just hating because the better, faster, newer Z is now out. Its obvious! 370z hate is primarily from HR owners...its too funny
Im a 03 owner........TT
I love my DE
I drove a few HRs
So i love HR too
The 370Z is different yet new
In summary......I need a larger income so i can get an HR and get the 370Z
Hell, im in love with Z
Hands down.....all of them are great for one reason or another

The 370z is better looking, faster, and can handle and stop more effectively. If I was approached on the street and given the option of an HR 350z or a 370z for free, I would obviously choose the 370.
However, given that if I were to sell/trade in my '07, I would then have to turn around and dump another ~15k to upgrade to the 370z, then no... I'll stick with my HR that I bought for 22k, thanks.
Buyer's remorse? I can think of a lot of better things to do with fifteen grand.

I'm was very happy when I purchased my HR and once I saw what the 370 looked like at the la auto show I got even happier with my HR purchase. Put it this way: if someone offered me a brand new 370 to trade with my hr with no money out of my pocket, I would say no (or accept and try to sell the 370 to re-buy an HR).
I even got the "awww, How cute! I want one" reaction when I showed a pic of the 370 to my wife. I guess she thougth it was a girl's car, lol
but for sure I wont buy one.

If I bought an 08 then I would definitely experience buyer's remorse, but with my 07 I don't feel bad at all..
Everyone with an 08 that says otherwise is lying just to make themselves feel better.
