So I drove a 370Z today...

I love everything about the Nismo except that rear bumper. That thing had to go the moment they put it on the 350, let alone the 370. What are they thinking with that square bottom thing? It's hideous.

I went from an 05 6 Speed to a 2013 6 Speed. Stock for stock the 370Z is better in every way. EXCEPT the the exhaust. Miss the "bauble" of the 35. Other than that, it handily outshines the 350. Youre delusional if you think otherwise. Or you havent spent enough time behind the wheel of a 370.

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. That is my favorite feature of the Nismo!

370z is amazing and makes 350 look like *** in comparison. I wish I could afford a 370z but I'm a poor college student working part time so instead I'm buying the peasants Z car (z33) lol

Agreed. There were two Nismo's on the lot when I was shopping around and thinking about upgrading from a 350 to a 370 -- but I chose the Touring w/ Sport package over the Nismo because of the lack of a nav unit and having cloth seats. They actually dropped the price of the Nismo's to mirror that of the Sport Touring I was looking at, but I still didn't like the idea (I don't care that I could have added an aftermarket nav unit and seats). I didn't want to deal with that... Very happy with my decision!

I'm in the same boat with the 350z people, I like the interior of the 370z better and when parked next to the 350z it makes it look old. That being said, I would not trade my 350z for a 370z as I like the 350z exterior a lot more. If they change the terrible headlights, tail lights, and huge rear bumper, I'll think about it...as for performance difference there are aftermarket parts for that.

I drove a 350z once back to back with a base 370z. The 350z had unknown mods and the car felt pretty fast. But I bought a 370z touring last April and it is the best car out of the box that I ever bought. It's fast, quick, nimble, stable and solid and it looks so purposeful with the shorter wheelbase.

There's a button to turn that off. Its next to the hazard button next to the shifter. But youre better off to get used to it... saves clutch wear and tear, keeps the car more stable downshifting into turns, and reduces synchro wear.

You will never, ever, be able to do what S-Mode in a 370z can do. To some capacity, yes. To within 50% of its precision with anywhere near its repeatability? That's a big "hell no!".
But yes, learn to drive to the best of your ability. That I agree with no matter what technology will be able to assist.
