I had just sold a 1967 ( 427 4 Speed ) because I was going to graduate school, and most of my friends had GTOs and Vettes. While in graduate school in Atlanta, I was fortunate to find the BRE Racing Datsun dealership North of Atlanta and have them modify my car, they were just getting started on what turned out to be a very long and successful career in racing. Of course Nissan was then called "DATSUN" and no one had every seen a Z car before. I cut the "DATSUN" emblems in half...making them read "SUNDAT"
I was getting ready to order a 2011 this week....but now after hearing all of these problems I dont know what I am going to do.
I apologize for getting off topic.
Every car is going to have problems no matter what one you buy. if you go to another forum for another car they will have problems with their cars as well. The 370 is a sports car so you will get the rattles and the road noise and what not. but over all i still love the car and dont not regret at ALL buying the car. im just annoyed with the dealer bc any kind of grind from a trani isnt normal. I say you still buy one i know youll love it just like everyone else that buys one. just my $.02
