Nice Z man. Yeah I agree don't park next to anyone for that matter. Some fat kid dinged my 350 before I traded her in for the 370. I try parking away from people, but unfortunately they always want to park next to my car.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I do not park next to people these days. LOL but somehow the Shiny Red car makes people want to walk far and part next to me wtf?!

Anyhow I'm having a problem...

I've been going crazy looking for the Cargo net, and Cargo Blind?! Dunno the rite name for this but it comes in the touring i believe. Having trouble finding these items on line any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks, and yes I have searched.

In the whole deal i got me a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and im stoked about lifting it and putting some mud tires on it. Never owned a truck before. It's going to be nice to see the Z sit for the winter.

Having had both, what do you feel like are the shortcoming and strengths between the 350 and 370? Im sure the extra power is nice But, what about the handling and comfort and all of the other differences?

The 350Z had more of a wild feel to her when driving it thru some twisties. The 370Z does this so refined, its hard to explain but its just so smooth. The car was designed for a driver. The 1 big disappointment is the lack of the Z exhaust note witch is 1 biggy for me. The exhaust sounds nice, but the 350Z had such a nice tone to it.

The Exhaust note was always a biggie for me too The 350 had such a nice sound that i was always afraid to change out the exhaust to an aftermarket for fear of loosing it. I guess with the 370 a new exhaust might do the trick.

The refined ride is something that is a 2 edged sword i would imagine. Its always nice to have more control, but feeling the kick in the *** in a curve when going full tilt was always nice. It did feel like raw power. Does the 370 just feel tighter now? less body roll? Too firm?

The 370Z has less body roll, and being wider it just takes to the turns so much better. Even with the VDC shut off, it corners and slides the tail out in such a more controllable manner.

Okay quick question.... I bought the following shift **** for my 350Z and loved it.

I took it off the car before i sold it. I wanted to use it for my new 370Z Before I go crazy trying to remove the stock **** are the shift ***** compatible?

Good info on the 370, i appreciate it much

The shift **** should be 100% compatible.. i think most, if not all, have the same thread pattern.

My Z hasnt been sandwiched between two cars since I purchased it ... I park in illegal spots before I park it between two crummy cars... traded my G35 in with 110k miles after 5.5 years without a single door ding... I cringe at looking at your Z parked like that with prob 100 miles on it!

Congrats...

Went down to Vinny Ten Racing on Saturday for Dyno Day Shoot out. I put my Z on the dyno for the first time. I was blown away by my numbers, was not expecting to break the 300 barrier. I had just saw a few other 370Z's with Headers and full CBE throwing down numbers like 290. So I was a little surprised to throw down 300 with just Stillen G3 Intakes. I was happy as FK though Here's a video of the run and dyno sheet. I'm thinking these guys didn't have a tune done or the stock exhaust creates better back pressure.

Here's the vid, enjoy.
