I think i read it in this forum that the dvd's cost like 120 bucks. Is that true?

Congrats man I cant wait to get my MB 370z in MT. If you dont like the synchro rev match why dont you turn it off? lol I think if you press the S-mode button it disables it so you can drive without it.

The car is beautiful though im jealous I dont have mine yet =(

I do turn it off occasionally. But to be honest, it's growing on me. I think I'll still turn it off from time to time so that my heel/toe skills don't get too rusty though! You know what I just realized? There are now two colors in the line-up with the initials 'MB'. Monterey Blue, and Magnetic Black! When are you planning to get yours?

The montery blue also. Its going to be my first manual car coming out of a auto g35 coupe.

You have any mod ideas on the list?

Dual cold air intakes, like the ones Stillen has for the G37. I'm guessing that they're in the process of making adaptations so that it'll fit the Z. That's No.1 on my list. Then we'll see about the exhaust. Link to Stillen G37 intake below, if you want to take a closer look.

Damn a 22 gain at the fly wheel. I didn't realize air intakes will get you that much hp gain. How much is it? Is there any other intakes comparable or better than this one?
As for and exhaust, is there any out there that will sound really good and loud. Something that sound like a f1 car?

I also wanted to know is it worth to get port and polish done to the 370z? How much hp can you get by doing that and what is the cost (if you know that is).
I'm jealous that you got one. I'm hoping to get one around 2010 when the second gens come out. I want to do some mods as well, but this will be my first brand new ride.

I think Stillen lists the price. $458 or something like that (?) As for your other questions, you'd probably be better off posting them to the Intake/Exhaust forum (look under Tech area from main page). In fact, there's a thread dedicated to the Stillen intake:

$38k and change.

G in ny · 01-15-2009, 08:12 AM

Yea I know someone with that intake. Pretty interesting setup stillen has. I think im going to go with the Injen CAI just because it sounded great on the 37 and 35. I really want to hear it on the 370.

Is it me or is the car really quite? I test drove it and rev'd up couple of time dosnt sound as loud. Or it could be because its a new car

G in ny · 01-15-2009, 08:23 AM

epaulsmith · 01-15-2009, 12:29 PM

Beautiful Car. Thanks for the review!

nestillo370z · 01-15-2009, 11:07 PM

Man!!!! Thanks for the review. I was trying to find out about the sunglasses compartment and center console compartment and you just answered my question. I guess the only gun I can put out there is my Ruger LCP. I got a Bersa Thunder 380 Plus that might fit there because it is about the same size as your Kimber. We will see

Great pics. Great review. Glad you're ok.
