Default 370z cluster.

I just happen to notice that the 370z tach cluster is laid out exactly like the ferrari california from the center rev tach to the digital cluster on the side. many magazines have stated dislike for the digital tach claming it looks out of place but no one seems to bash the ferrari cluster.
I've seen the 370z in person and personally I don't think you 350z owners have much to worry about in the looks department, don't get me wrong the 370z is a nice looking car and it shows well from different angles but I feel there is a little too much going on. just my insite.

Maybe slightly in the concept that its a digital display on the left side with two analog on the right.

But REALLY? Come one man, there is seriously no comparison...

I agree with the OP. It was a good idea. But the far left gauge is so un-uniform from the other two, it makes for a very unclean and cluttered look. Not to mention the functions they put there are odd. I don't need 4 inches of LEDs to tell me how much gas I have!! IMO it's just an excuse to put stuff there and wow the kids!!

I think the california is butt ugly, and completely useless. Its gonna be like another 360 where its slow as hell, and will cost you a fortune when you put miles on it. I would get a gallardo of that california all day, everyday.

Thats all I was trying to say in respect for both cars. but some of you would rather flame than listen. Just sad.

I'm talking about layout design, surely the Ferrari fit and finish is going to be better; it only cost 7 times more than the 370Z.

I know this sounds a little ricey, but i do like how the needles peg to the right and come back to zero all in sync, when you start the car. They are DEFINATLY targeting the younger crowd with all the doo-dads, and "body kit" look. I'm curious to see how all the leather on the dash is gonna hold up over the years. I'm not sure if it's real leather, but it feels really thin and easy to scratch and/or scuff.

I guess I don't mind the look of the 370, but I'd say I like the NISMO 350 looks better. For me NISMO 350 > 370 > 350. I do have a cosmetic question on the 370. I personally think it needs a bigger spoiler in the back. Would there be anything available yet to replace the stock one with? Another problem is the stock wing has the light in it, so you'd have to deal with that too.

I don't know about you guys... but I actually kinda like the 370Z cluster. Just wish it was all black background with white/blue backlighting.
