Awesome pics, how were people looking at you when you were down on your knees getting the undercarriage shots? I wish my Z had a glove compartment, everytime I get pulled I have to move the passenger seat forward to get my registration!

 

It has been growing on me and I like it alot, but the rear bumper is so f'n ghey, hopefully there will be some aftermarket kits that dealerships install on every single 370Z before letting people drive off the lot like that.

 

The new Z looks great in person. I saw all kinds of dislike about the 07 hood hump but that is not mentioned much anymore. This Z design is much easier to like and appreciate right away than the G37 coupe to the G35 coupe.

I get to drive it from Phoenix to Houston on the tour!

 

Nice job on the amateur pics. It shows the real deal! I'll try not to forget a measuring tape when I go see it this weekend.

I'm wondering why Nissan did a y-pipe to a big b-pipe then to two separate pipes on the exhaust when they could have gone straight back?

 

IIRC, the BOSE subwoofer is mounted in the spare tire. I'm not sure about a 2nd sub since it technically doesn't need one [in the floor... too boomy]. My friend's RSX-S has a BOSE system with the sub in a small cylindrical box mounted in the spare tire area. Yuck!

From the description, it states 8 speaker. I'm assuming the doors get 3-way, but I'm not sure where the midrange is (typically by the door handle, but not in the photos I've seen lately). The service manual illustrates the midrange driver placed by the driver/passenger shoulder area (funky). Can someone confirm a center channel?

Standard is 4-speaker, so it looks like we don't have to worry about tearing up the interior just to get to the rear speakers. However, I'm a tad worred about SQ of 2-way setups. I was hoping to find a spot for the midrange driver without ruining the "stock" look.

Lastly, for the NISMO owners. Are the body parts urethane? I'm opting out of aftermarket fiber parts that are not all that functional (besides CF lip).

 

i didnt see the sub in the Blue car-- but i didnt open the yellow touring's trunk to check for the sub...

and yes..TSG-Z.... people were looking at me as i was on all fours looking for the flat underpanels. haha.

 

Ehhh it's ok. guess I'll just wait until the 400Z comes out.

 

i can haz?

personally i like they way it looks, i think they went a little porsche-esque on the exterior and body, but i bet this thing rips.

 

Lucky you!!!

 

I was thinking no way he's going to get good shots like that, but sure enough you did. Great event, glad I got to go. Good pics too.

 

Is it me or does interior look cheap as hell for a base?? Worse than now IMO

 

Hm... well the base doesn't get leather seats and Alcantara-like material for the doors. What else makes the interior "cheap as hell" by simply judging the photos?

There's no sub in the blue Z, so it has a basic 4-speaker audio system.

 

The exterior is a step backward design-wise in my opinion. I'd take my '07 any day of the week over this one. The new gauges look nifty though

 

Well ummm the 2 or 3 good shots off what interior materials i could see looked sub par..
Maybe the bland front dash is what did it for me.. I dunno..
True its just a picture but the quality "looked" questionable from what i see.
Personally i would never buy a base model so im sure the higher Touring and Grand Touring will look way better!!!..

 

THANK YOU FOR FINNALY GETTING ME SHOTS OF THE DAMNED SUSPENSION.

It looks very very very similar to the 350z setup. If its the exact same crap as it, I wont be getting a 370z.

 

What does "S" Button do?

 

Awesome pics. I'm still bummed by the Euro brake light crap.

 

Special move. LOL

 

No, he's not alone, that is the dumbest thing ever.

Ugly *** body kit, and a weak exhaust = you got *** raped by the nismo boys.

 

Too many hits.....pics down FTL....
