Agreed. The Mustang burned me once by gaining 200lbs from S197 to S550. So I will always expect the worst with generational changes.

Side note: The newest Honda Accord weighs less and is smaller than the outgoing model.

I mostly agree with the guy, and I test drove both cars (was leaning toward 5.0 at one point) before making a decision. However it seemed to me to be a pretty opinion-based, bush league review. "I haven't driven the base 370" isn't a great way to start an analysis of the NISMOs handling.:rofl2:

But I am seriously wondering... what do you consider the handling weakness? I cannot deny that there are many suspension variables that can be improved, and there are a decent number of aftermarket parts to do so. But for a street going sports car, it seems like the handling is a major strength for the Z. The OEM tires aren't the best is all I could think of lol. I'm pretty sure there are a couple of guys with multiple track seasons on the stock suspension still running strong :driving:
For the occasional romp at TMS.... It needs minor work. I don't have a manual. So I don't have to waste money on that. :tiphat:

Where you get that from? When the Q coupe was in pre-production. They said the coupe should be under 3,500lbs Did you get a new weight estimate since January 2015?

Cuz I've not heard new estimates since then?

The current non-hybrid sport model sedan is 3,574lbs

So why would the coupe be heavier with less doors?

Don't get me wrong, I'd be a very happy man with a 3000lb Z pushing 400HP from a 3.0L TTV6, but I doubt Nissan wants to invest that much in the car since they apparently hate us all.
3,574lbs is the base weight of a Q50.
The hybrid is 3,849lbs.

The Z is 3300lbs, a sport is 3,330 and a Nismo is 3400

A G37 coupe is 3,714lb curb weight. 3850 with all wheel drive....

Fellas you better look at RWD cars for comparison. Not hybrid and AWD

Plus it's also 4 inches shorter in length and 3 inches less in height. But it is 2 inches wider in width.

Here's an un-bias opinion...

If it's a 370Z vs GT... I'd get keep my 370Z

If it's a 370Z vs GT350... then, well...

If the GT350r had A/C and a good radio I would be all in for a test drive.

Line up a 2016 nismo and ill take the nismo

I test drove a 2015 gt and told the sales guy I was a serious buy and I wanted to beat on it so I did.

Test drove the only nismo in Pittsburg around the block and wanted the z 10000x more. Mustangs are fast but still feel like turds. I wanted a roush but that still doesnt help the fact its a mustang.

The R does have a A/C option, however you are still stuck with a crappy radio... almost as bad as the radio in my 370z. Also, unless you know somebody who has one the chance of a dealer giving you a test drive in an R let alone a GT350 is slim to none. :(

I had to go out of state 1800 miles just to find/order my GT350 sight unseen and no test drive. This "track" car was built to fight the Europeans. I think everyone is still afraid of the GTR though! :tup:

It does: It's called the GT350
