The car handles MUCH better than the G did. I can take turns with more confidence and has a lot less noticeable amount of body roll.

Obviously, the power...I went from around 350whp to around 280whp. I went to the drag strip with just over 500 miles on the odometer. I ran a 14.0 @ 103.6mph. Horrible ET, but I was happy with the MPH. The 370Z is quite! But I'm also used to the open wastegate of the G35. My Stillen intake, Berk hfc, and HKS exhaust that are all sitting in the garage will take care of that

The car is noticeable quiter inside the cabin, compared to the G35. The interior is actually more luxurious than what my 2004 G35 offered.

The biggest difference, obviously, is 2 less seats. This became more of a problem when I got another Boxer puppy the same day I bought the Z.

I'm back and forth on the wheels. I really like the OEM smoked 19"s that came with the car, but I'm a fan of being different. I'm looking into doing a sponsorship with Aristo wheels. I'm not a fan of the SP2s and too many people have Meisters. If I get another set of wheels, they will be something you don't see too often.
