The REAL official 370Z test drive thread

oleg · 01-29-2011, 04:46 PM

so finally got to test drive a 370z yesterday with a sport package and i absolutely loved it. The power is there, seemed planted on the ground through corners, and i loved how fast it gets up to speed. The transmission is an improvement from the 350z, it seemed smother to me and i don't know why people complain about the sound, the car sounds amazing when your inside driving it. The blind spots are a pain and the car seems big, i guess you'll have to get used to that. I was honestly scared of the car while i was driving it primarily because of my lack of experience with sports cars as I'm only 18, but a 350z with all bolt ons can not in my opinion cannot compare to the performance of a 370z.

I got my roadster in a manual trans. The synchro rev has saved me a few tickets and it sounds great. I do have the sports and performance package on mine. I've changed the the speakers and still fooling with them to get the right mix. I'm also thinking of getting dual ram intakes. It doesn't sound as mean as my 350z. Good luck. I have made a great choice.

Feels big??? What do you drive? A smart car??? Lol. And how do you buy a sport and performance pkg?. That's confusing me.

If you knew anything about my profile you can see I'm 52 and have driven a stick in my 370Z and my 350Z and my Supra Turbo and my 200SX. So let's get this straight, I know how to drive and I don't drive a smart car. As it turns out the cylinder clutch leaked and burned out my clutch. NISSAN REPLACED AND PAID FOR EVERYTHING. This is why you buy Nissan over and over. They try to do the right thing. As far as having both the sports package and the performance package ,that's the only way you get it with a rag top and manual. I felt people on this site were more knowledgable and not some youngers who think their "cool".

I got to drive the 370z now, I drove was a 350 a few years ago and I must say they have come a long way. I was a little disapointed as the car was both an automatic and almost completely out of gas, and the guy letting me drive it let me know that we would not be driving it long enough for that to be a problem.
the mud tires on my truck make more noise,plus my dvd monitor,It was very noisy.
