I thought SCCA put the 370Z in AS?

Just wondering if I am the only person with this feeling? Contemplating, the Porche Boxster as a replacement for my 2007 Z.
I'm undecided on the 370Z, Not really diggin the new face lift and rear lights.
BUT I would take a 370Z over a boxster any day!! I've never looked twice at a Boxster

Having owned a 05 and 07 (HR) 350Zs, I can say from personal experience that the 370 is much better and even better is my Nismo 370Z #0067. I am having a ball with it. Will be at the dyno tomorrow and at autocross on Sunday. Cannot wait.

No, the 370Z is still in BS as of the 2009 stock classification list. But it could be bumped to AS for 2010 because the driver who won BS for last month's event beat all the RX-8's on race comps by a full second on a completely stock 370Z with sport package .

I agree. The 370Z looks great. But I don't think you are going to convince some 350Z owners of that.

I live in Japan where they actually make 370Zs (smile). So mine doesn't have all that Catalytic Converter crap, etc. I just don't like the lines of the 370 because it looks like 240Z from the 70's. Looks is the only thing I do not like.

O.K.! Everyone....I understand your comments about the Boxster S, but most of you own a coupe and I have a roadster. The 370zr has not hit the street here so I cannot make a comparison for that reason. If I had to pick a coupe I would probably take the upper level Audi TT. And by the way....my 350z cost $50,000 in Japan. Its all leather, Bose Surround system, Convertible, soft-comp tires, Alloy rims, etc. And you are talking to a guy that owned several different Zs over a 25 year period.

I totally love the 370z in the spring next year I will be making a decision on weather to get a 350 or a 370z. All depends on the kind of money I hae.

...I'll keep my bull shark ('04.5 Touring Coupe Z), versus the tiger shark (370Z). The money factor rules, I guess!

Its grown on me, and after seeing a few in person and on the road, I love them. That said, I treasure paying off my 350z soon more than owning a 370z.

The jury is still out on the 370 with me. I'm still partial to the body lines of the 350, as I think Nissan took to many styling points from the 911. Don't get me wrong the 370 is a nice car, I just don't know if I would buy one.
