Default Long Time 350Z Owner, New 370Z Owner

Finally picked up a new 2009 370Z to go along with my 2003 350Z. It's a Platinum Graphite Touring with sport package and nav. I love the color.

You aren't doing much to help me resist tempation.
I've also got a DB and want to move up to the Platinum Graphite.
Can I put you down as my cosigner?

Good question. The 370Z is really the evolution of the 350Z. The first thing that strikes me about the two cars side by side is that the 370Z appears shorter and wider than the 350Z. I really like the way the 370Z looks from the side and from behind. The interior in the 37OZ is much nicer than the 350Z and the 370Z is quieter inside. The 370Z has slightly less headroom too.

As for how they drive they are similar. The 370Z has a better ride, but the handling is on par with or better than the stock 350Z. The 370Z seems to have more power than the stock 350Z, but my engine is still so green I have really romped on it yet. I've been trying to keep it under 4000 rpms.

ZPirate: The 370Z has slightly less headroom too.

I agree here. I can't seem to get in mine without bumpinging my head. I looked at the official numbers and the headroom is the same as the 350 (38.2 inches). Maybe it's just a bit lower door opening?

Nice 370!

Yes I sold it back around the middle of November. It was fun, but I was ready for something different.

I might be going the same route. Damn these impulse decisions.

I wish I could keep my 350 if I get a 370Z. But is not going to happen, especially if I go for the Nismo.

I almost bought the Nismo, but ultimately decided I would rather have the features of the Touring with sport package. As it turns out the car I purchased also has Nav. The MSRP was actually more than the Nismo, but I got a sweet deal on it.

I don't care for the Touring unless I can get NAV and that is extra.

Spent about 3 hrs in the dealer today negotiating a price for a Nismo. Those motherf*&er would not budged on the price.

They wanted to offer me $12K for my 2006 Z, with 22,xxx miles.

Every 370Z left in this area is automatic too, no place to go unless I want to travel 100+ miles.
