Bingo!

Seriously...I sold my 03' Enthusiast last winter, and bought 09 Sport two weeks ago.

The appeal? More power, lighter weight, better looks, much improved brakes...Rays sport wheels are very nice.

Little differences...no rear windshield wiper...washer fluid jests aren't mounted on wipers anymore....VDC/TCS is standard...etc.

Come on SmoothZ....you know you wanna get one!

I jumped from an 05 350 to an 09 370 Base with Sport Package. I miss the feel of my 350 but the 370 is just better in almost every way.

It does. Did you vote?

That goes along my theory of "It never hurts to ask if you ask nicely."

She actually 'pre-approved' me for a project car like an older Datsun.

Bought an 05 Touring 2/08, traded for a 09 base in 5/09. As much as I spend on motortrend and the like I had no idea there was a new Z coming when I got the 05. The wife was not at all happy that I made the switch......... I told her the continuation of our marriage can be questioned, my buying the car cannot.

Amazing, isn't it? I guess it was a no brainer for the current Z34 owners.

Totally. I guess people stick with what they know is a good car.

Looks like I'm the first to be owning a 350z and wanting a 370z. However, I just bought my 08 350z 3 months ago. I want the 370z roadster but $46k (new) + $2100 (unpainted Nismo body kit) is well out of my price range. Before buying a 370z, I have to pay off the 350z (2011) and at least buy the wife a new vehicle. I'm looking at 2012 for a low mile used example. I love the 350z, but i miss having a vert.

So was their a huge difference in technology from 03 to 09?

ZPirate · 12-13-2009, 08:43 AM

From my perspective the answer is yes. There are significant differences between my 03 Touring and my 09 Touring, not only with regard to technology, but in almost every part of the car.

Here's the day I bought my 350 in '07:
