It was also fastest non-exotic sports car at the time.

But 500 lb heavier than the 240Z, and the steering was far more ponderous (as I remember, from 40 year ago). The 370Z reminds me of the 240Z, not the 280Z.

Mr MacCool (doubtful it's his real name) is right on.

I currently have, and drive, a 240z (71) and a 370z (2010). There is about a +/- 900 pound or so difference between them. I love them both, but the 240 definitely has better steering feel, by far. I detest power steering because you lose too much of the road feel (IMO).
