Default For those who...

For those who own the 350, i want to know if a lot of you are considering selling or trading theirs for the new 370, I am asking because I am thinking about getting the 370, even though i can get a new 350 for a Really good price.

Thanx

If you're looking for pure performance go with 370z. I like the 350z overall look, better IMO. To each their own.

BTW: I won't trade my 350z for 370z.

i had an 08 carbon silver, i loved it. but i was in an accident, and since it was new, i was able to have my insurance pay for the rest of it. one reason why i did tht because i had bought my 08 for 27 after taxes. and i thought to myself "if i got an 08 for that price, i can get 1 even cheaper" so i know the beauty of the 350. i am just thinking about trying the 370. thanx

+1 I completely agree. The 350 just looks better to me also. But the 370 is obviously faster.

I thought for sure I'd like the 370 more than the 350 styling-wise, but after seeing the 370 in person I think I like the 350 more, especially the NISMO. I think the 370 needs a larger spoiler on the back. It just looks like something's missing back there and a think a bigger spoiler would help a lot. I don't really like that light incorporated into the wing either.

I just bought my 350z Track and I'm in love. I love the rear end of the 370z but not much of the rest.

I even find the 350z interior to be very content for a sports car. Didn't seem cheap unlike the pictures and video I've seen before.

At first, I was considering trading my 350 for a 370, but for the amount of $$ I'd lose on the deal, and considering the 370 is not much faster, I may go for a C6 Vette or a used C6 Z06.

If the 370 had 400 HP, I'd get one in a hearbeat.

Bottom line - If you have a 07-08 350, it's not worth going from that to a 370.

If I didn't have a z at all, I'd go for the 370. I have driven the 370. Make no mistake that it's a much bigger feeling car than the 350 from the inside. think about it - the 370 is built on the the same platform as the G37 and Murano and Infiniti FX.

It's all up to the individual. Go see one, test drive one. Seriously, if you need someone else's opinion, you probably shouldn't. I, for one, will be trading in my 350 for a 370 (to answer your question.)

It has 26 more HP. I wouldn't classify that as "pure performance" over a 350.

and to aswer the OP's question, I'm going to be waiting for the NISMO 370Z to be released, and see what it has to offer.

I would go with the 370 if I had a no or low cost "start over" situation that did not involve going from a thin payment book to a thick one.

lol, your under estimating 26hp and a hundred lbs lighter or so. trust me. You should know that, based on your screen name "racer".

It's been proven a ba-jillion times that the 370Z is on par with the pricing of a new, comparably equipped 350Z. I posted in another thread where I built a touring 350Z and compared it to my 370Z. Price was within a few hundred dollars. So give me an example, genius of what you are talking about.

I plan on keeping my 350 and boosting it. I wouldn't want to get the 370Z until after a few years either way.
