That is exactly what my first thoughts were when I test drove the (my) 2016 370 last spring. I was instantly taken back to the days I enjoyed my 78 280z some 23 years ago. It is better in every way but still kept that feeling that the 280 left me with and while modern was somehow still reminiscent. The same car I test drove with 62km on the clock was in my driveway the very next day.

Oh and just to set it straight the 2016 BASE comes with Bluetooth and USB port for what it's worth. The factory stereo and speakers were gone inside a week anyways though.

AGREE-a Z A z33 or z34 is fantastic "right out of the box"

Have to say that Nissan cheaped out to keep the price down on some materials.

Both my z33&z34 have suffered from scratches on the inside door barrel coves.
Easy fix.
Got a Z brother that runs ZCFcovers that offers carbon fiber covers for them
barrel coves. I bought mine for about 50 bucks shipped.
Sells on ebay.
Upgrades the Z too.

For me , i was looking for a two seater roadster.

Looked at the BMW Z4, 350z, Boxster, Miata, and the 370Z

I liked the handling and the power in the 370Z best

Also the Boxster and the Z4 would have been alot more expensive to customize and install high performance parts in

Didnt want a camaro or mustang, they are everywhere....
