BTW, I'm pretty sure the door handles on the 370Z are aluminum too.

I prefer the 350Z early 2003/2004 would top my list because I think it’s a great bargain and I like the overall feel of the car better but its personal opinion. The major difference I have noticed between the two in terms of doing setup and driving them are the following.

The 370Z was built to be more nimble then the 350Z and the way they went about doing this was they decreased the wheelbase by 4 inches. Then on the front suspension Nissan used a few other tricks to change the feel of the car like decreasing the amount of caster from 7.6 to 8.9 degrees to 4.4 to 5.9 degrees for the 370z. This change in Caster reduces steering effort along with the reduced wheelbase makes for a car that feels far more nimble and is likely is a bit more nimble. However, to do this they had to increase the SAI from 4.3 to 5.8 degrees on the 350z to 6.9 to 8.4 degrees since caster will help promote camber gain during cornering. The 370Zs increase in SAI is a more mechanical change to how fast the suspension increases camber as it really is the measurement between the long arm and short arm in the suspension. In a 350Z the top arm is longer so it has less SAI vs the shorter top arm of the 370Z that allows for faster camber gain during compression.

I think this is the major difference in the car the 370Z feels light and nimble. The 350Z feels a bit more heavy but more stable. I think both setups have their ups and downs depending on what type of corner you are approaching.

The good news is if you have a preference for one feel or the other you will end up with a fantastic car.

I forgot about the heated mirrors. I definitely miss that.

Agreed. I feel the same about the G35.

I think both the 350 and the G35 are better looking cars than their successors.

B: He totally said the opposite of what you agreed on.

A: You are certainly entitled to your opinion; and

B: I was referring to the exterior of the cars. I prefer the interior and drivetrain of the 370 and G37 over their predecessors, but think the exterior styling is better on the 350 and G35. To me, the G35 is probably the best looking car that Nissan ever produced.

Well we're all entitled to our opinions, but G35 being the best looking car from any Nissan product is a really bold statement, but to each his own :D

Btw, are you referring to the G35 coupe or G35 sedan? Or both?

Opposite with the Z though. Prefer the styling of the 370 to the 350.

The 370Z is gorgeous though.

The sport car crowd is definitely way different than the sport bike crowds that I came from. More receptive and more helpful in the group setting. I have a lot of friends still after I quit riding over 2 years ago. I can't quite find that spark of interest of meets and greets around here. A lot of looking down at you if you don't have your car force induced or supercharged or have humongous wheels on your Z.

I have a 2012 Touring/Sport/Navi

Why? Because you wanted them on all the time or because they wouldn't turn off? Or you had an on/off switch that you forgot in the on position all the time :ugh2:
