HELP! The great Debate 370z vs. G37

Jeffblue · 04-23-2010, 02:20 PM

Its tough, you've got a sports car with the transmission that should be in a luxury car, and you've got the luxury car with the transmission that should be in the sports car. I'd go with the G for the 6spd. you got the G because you wanted a 6pd sporty car, if you're always going to want the 6spd i'd stay with it.

Be a G and take the G

G = 2 Door Luxury Sedan
Z = Sports Car

I know it's an old thread. But very interesting... I am from an 06 G35 coupe to an 09 370z. I actually still have the G. I consider the G as a performence luxury coupe and Z as a true sports car. It really depends on what you want. In my case, I want a true sports car. So I went to Z eventually.

As both G and Z driver, I can tell you this - people does give me thumb ups time by time while I am in the G. But when I am in the Z, people give me thumb ups ALL THE TIME even following me taking pix. Btw, my g35 was pimped out while my z is born stock. So consider this as a factor too!:P Like me, now the first mod I want to do is to tint my windows to get some private.

Calling the G a luxury coupe is an overstatement. Calling it a dedicated sports car is also an overstatement. The G is a high performance premium coupe with luxury features. The G performance is underestimated often on this site. But the Z is better in all areas of performance except I think the G is more stable at high speeds. It inspires more confidence at over 120mph.

Sounds like the G is a better fit however I came out of a G37 and am very happy with the 370Z.. It is not my daily driver though and I do plan on tracking it..

The Z is more raw, for sure... but the G is no slouch. Modifying a G is fun too. Especially with rims and bodykit. The G looks more dramatic when modded. But the Z is more exhilerating behind the wheel. Shorter wheelbase and lighter weight help.

the G and Z are two VERY DIFFERENT cars... i will say that as an owner of both.

and i am not a fan of the G37C styling... im waiting for the next gen G.

As having owned both G's, I actually felt the styling was an improvement. I just felt the G35 did a better job of having performance that was closely related to the 350z vs the G37s on the 370z. The 37hr cars definately don't share as many driving characteristics as the 35's. The G35 performance was just more of a true sport coupe. The G37, though still high performance feels more refined. And I don't mean more refined in a good way. The 35's definately felt more torquey as well. I'm sure that helped.

the G37C's are definitely a class up as far as refinement in the interior. but the exterior....damn wtf did they do to that thing vs the concept? I was so sold on the concept model.

no offence to anyone with G37C's.. just my opinion. and you're right UNKNOWN, the G35C's are a lot more fun to drive than the G37C's.
