Honest Opinions of New 370Z Buyer
 

About two weeks ago I bought a 2012 Magnetic Black 370Z Touring w/Sport & Navigation Package and thought I would post my honest opinions about how I feel about the car. As a frame of reference my last car (which I sold) was a 2007 BMW 335i Coupe. So here goes:

I scoured the internet and forums to try to find a valid 0-60 time for the 6-speed manual version of this car and I found numbers as low as 4.7 all the way up to 5.2 seconds. I did this because I love the thrill of acceleration and my old BMW 335i Coupe is consistently ranked at a 4.8 second 0-60 time with 300 bhp and 300 lb feet of torque and I believe that was pretty accurate. Well I can honestly say I think the stock version of this car is truly closer to 5.2 seconds as it isn't even in the same ball park as far as acceleration goes compared to the BMW.

Also, the engine in this car feels really course at higher RPM's. Feeling more course than the engine feels in any other car I've ever driven and I'm not sure why. I've noticed too that the car feels like it jerks if you try to hold a steady speed in lower gears, almost like the gas pedal is too touchy or something and needs to be accelerating or decelerating but not holding consistent.

As far as the interior goes I really like the bat-cave like feeling it has and I got the Persimmon leather which I absolutely love.

So far I've had a full nose, half hood and mirrors clearbra installed and just a few days ago I ordered a Fast Intentions TDX Catback Exhaust w/18" resonators from Tony but I am not scheduled to receive it until the middle of July but I'm really hoping this makes the car a little more powerful and adds a significant better sound to the exhaust note.

Let me know what you think, all opinions are welcome.
