the rear are just add ons. maybe just nismo aerokit for the 370 and not a nismo version

From a design standpoint, this is essentially complete and utter failure.

Park that car out any weekend night and you'll come back to beer bottles lined up on your wing and those lower winglets broken off from people stepping on them.

I agree. A reasonable amount of storage space is a requirment. My 350Z is my only car & I frequently fill it to the brink when I go home at Christmas or take it on a 3 week vacation road trip. I'll reserve judgment on looks & performance till the car is available in the flesh but a significant reduction in storage will be a deal breaker. Even a Vette or a Cayman has significantly more storage space than a 350Z. It's not hard to do.

Ugly as hell and it will not grow on me. The GTR's front end still looks horrendous and I've seen it in person numerous times. The GTR looks good in the front in black because you can't see it.

The new M3 is still ugly even though I've seen lots of them. I prefer the E36 and E46. The Enzo is still ugly to my eyes since 2003 when I first saw it in pictures. I've seen 5+ in person and still ugly. Again, I would only get it in black as to not see how ugly it is. The F430 and F430 Scuderia (seen in person, again) are still ugly.

The Z34 is ugly now in my eyes and will always be. I couldn't believe the Maxima headlights I saw in person for the first time. Horrible. You suck, Nissan designers. Z33 FTW.

Well...i dont care for it, but then again i hated the 350z when it came out and love it now. So maybe it will grow on me...

C6 corvette for me!!! With a ECS I can get 550whp and 560wtq for 5 grand, so a used C6 with 5-10k on the clock for 35k has my name all over it.

And curb weight is around 3200lbs.

Have you looked in the mirror lately?..jk:D

What is an ECS?

Looks like history is repeating itself. When the 240Z came out, the 260Z & 280Z were evolutionary in design & tried to improve it but for many, the 240Z was the best of that design phase. The Z32 as we all know broke into a different design phase & many 240Z owners never accepted it & others loverd it. Now, the 350Z is a classic design for many & the 370Z is an evolutionary design as well, just like the 260Z & 280Z. Lets see if ithe 370Z ends up being like the 260Z or as time goes by, is considered a better design.

^^^Truth...

The 260Z and 280Z were "advanced" and "evolutionary" when they were released but only the first S30 240z design remained timeless.

Great post. :thumbup:

i was really sceptical about my decision of purchasing a 08 350z till i saw these pictures....now i can sleep at night

Hopefully the 370zx will be next.:thumbup:

The 350Z still looks good today and has been out for a while. Its design might stand the test of time for a while longer. I can't help but think the 370Z will top it though.

WAT?

Not true. I paid cash outright for my 06 and could buy a new 370 for cash so I am hardly "stuck". I don't like it. It's an evoloution of the 350 so it's not "ugly' just "weird" IMO. The interior is nice. the outside isn't finished. It's not as fluid as the 350.

The anticipation for the 370Z is nothing like the 350Z... still a nice upgrade from my '03 :-)

well seeing as it will put to the wheels what a stock 03 has to the crank, i would hope it's a nice upgrade heh.

I remember a year or so ago i saw what mines did to what i think was an 04 Z33, they did heads, intake, cams, exhaust and a tune and it put down 320whp.

so im very interested to see what the VQ37HR will be capable of in a lighter chassis. with the .2 increase is displacement with all the otehr upgrades. i dont think 400 crank hp will be hard to reach with headwork, cams, intake, tune, headers , hfc's and a catback.

or hell maybe even going to 3.8-4.0, increasing the rev limit to 8,500.

basically a Z06 from nissan haha. but short 2 liters lol.
