Just picked her up last night.........

Yours has an oil cooler, DRL's, a different set of shocks (not sure if "better", but different), the new style wheels, I think red brake calipers, possibly marginally better audio,

Yours has an oil cooler, DRL's, a different set of shocks (not sure if "better", but different), the new style wheels, I think red brake calipers, possibly marginally better audio, and hopefully fewer random bugs (e.g., hatch popper failing to work 100%).

I think that's about it.

Congrats -- love the 370Z

I don't think so. I run 200 degrees DD and 220 degrees with spirited driving even on a 90 degree day. I think for any consistent track work you'll still need an oil cooler. The '12 and newers also got a larger pressurized coolant tank like on the GTR which helps some too. But still not a track car stock.

Mine's a 2014 and the dash lights only dim if the car thinks they headlights should be on. If you have parking lights on or headlights on (not using auto on function) the dash lights do not dim. I've heard of one other having this problem. Other than that you can get an SES light due to a poor sealing gas cap.

I think that's about it.

Congrats -- love the 370Z

I live in South Carolina and it'll get up to 220 on the 12 mile drive home in the summer. Seems a little on the warm side considering I'm traveling over 45 MPH for about 10 of those miles. So I agree that you need a better cooler for track use.
