Check my sig :-) I know it doesn't work for the article - there's only so much room for the article.

Sure, but a used 350 could be picked up for half the price of a new 370. some folks might be price-conscious.

Was just working with what I had. Regular vs Nismo is tough to compare as well, even if they are stock.

They were both Dyno'd in similar conditions - temps and relative humidity. Only 6 WHP? Check the area under the curve. Peak power comparisons are for bench racing.

Yes. I agree wholeheartedly. All viable points

Thanks... I may seem a bit biased, but If I did not already have a 350, I'd get the 370 hands-down. I'm a z-fan and I think Nissan could have done a few things better on the 370z, which is why I'm critical of it.
