Question G37 vs. 370Z

Hey guys, I'm going to be trading in my G coupe in about a year or so, and the top 2 new cars I'm looking at are the G37(maybe x) and the 370Z.

I'm looking for something similar to my G35, the looks, the power, the smoothness of driving it.

I'm leaning a bit towards the 370Z though because I am basically just looking for another sports car, I don't care much for all of the extra features that come with the G37.

I've driven an '08 G sedan before and honestly I just don't like the way it feels. What I mean by this is that if I push down on the throttle, I want to hear/feel the car respond.

I have not however driven the G37, but I'm only assuming that it's similar .

I've had many a ride in my friends 350Z, and the only thing that bothered me was the somewhat barren interior and the lack of room for just about anything.

Well anyways, thanks for your opinions and comments, I hope I was clear enough.

g37 S sedan...looks great IMO and same motor as the 370Z but if you were looking into getting a coupe then i would take a 370Z (which is what i would prefer) over the g37 coupe

One of my friends has a G37S Coupe. The thing is beautiful both inside and out. Quite luxurious.

To be honest, I'd take the G37S over the 370Z, simply because I want a more luxurious car.

G37 hands down. Some lady has a red one and I park next to her everyday (she knows I won't give her any door dings and vice versa) I think a nice TT setup with a clean drop and wheel/tire setup and I'd be happy. Just gorgeouse interior/exterior from the factory.

3.7 Liters, you can't go wrong in either one. I'd take the Z though

I definitely feel it when I get on my 08 G sedan (don't know what you're talking about as far as that) but you're right about not hearing it when you hit the throttle. The 2nd generation G sedan and G coupe as well are both quick, sporty cars but they are geared toward people who want performance and luxury. Infiniti has toned down the exhaust note because premium brands are suppose to have a higher level of refinement. If you want more noise and excitement get the 370Z. If you want more composure and smoothness get the G coupe.

Why in the world would you want an "X" in Dallas? Spend the money on an exhaust and ECU tune, and you'll be louder AND faster than a 370Z.

I have a G37 and have considered the 370Z because before the G I have the an 03 350Z. The 350Z was a great car, but the ride was quite harsh to the point it'd make your teeth click when you hit harsh bumps. I also had some Volk SF-Challenges and low profile tires which didn't help. the ride of the G is SO much better than what the Z was, but I hear the later 350s cleaned the ride up some and the 370 is a little better, but neither will match the plushness of the G. The older Z's interior was pretty blah and the new Z improved that a lot and is close to what the G is, but to me, the G still has it beat. The new Z, however, is much more agressive in both styling and performance of all the Z and G cars. The power in the G37 is great, but the weigh takes away from the feel. The new, lighter Z lets this engine's power shine through. As far as exhaust note? I think that's a non issue since most of those who are performance minded will more than likely change the exhaust no matter which car they own for two reasons; a louder or more agressive sound and weight savings. For me, I'd love to have the new Z, but ONLY because it's a tad bit faster than the G.

BUT, I will give props to Nissan for finally designing a car the BMW azz-suckers at Car and Driver picked as number 1 in a comparo over a BMW....even if it was the 135i. But that's another story.

Yeah I know, and that was the response everyone had when someone made the comment of "the ride is too harsh", but most also noted that it was harsh even FOR a sports car. Also, from what I've heard, Nissan made the later versions a little more "live-able" and did so, well, only becuase people were complaining about it. Otherwise, they would have left it alone. So, it obviously was a problem. All I'm sayin' is that that's all I'm sayin.

I have the revised Z spring and shock installed on my G35 sedan but it isn't that terribly stiff. Quite acceptable.

I think the g37coupe is FUGLIER! looks like a larger hyundai tiberon..can't stand the chrome grill..only thing I like is the rear tail lights at night time..as far as looks 370z is way sexier looking and has better lines.
