UKNOWN's contradictory fanboy rant aside, I think my car is basically perfect for what I bought it for and how I intend to use it. The fact that my complaints are minor things like a high beam indicator that blinds me at night or a toggle switch that is easily bumped and changes the radio station during fast handiwork of the steering wheel is a testament to my car being suited to me and my driving style.

I have yet to need an oil cooler since my car was built to be driven on public roadways.
The brakes have never given up on me. It came with enough power. My car didn't "need" any of the mods I performed on it.

If the measure of a perfect car that's missing essential pieces of equipment to do something it wasn't designed for, along with its mod-ability, then we'd all be playing with turboed Civics.

Fanboy would be to say that the Z is the only best car out there. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying for the types of complaints that are thru this complaint list. There are better cars suited for quite a few. That's what I'm saying. As far as lights. The are HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE LIGHTS. THEY MAKE A PROJECTOR DOWNGRADE LIGHT FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK THE Hi-DISCHARGE LIGHT IS TOO INTENSE.

That's what I mean about silly complaints. I don't contradict myself. I'm just saying. If we are going to make a complaint. Let it be something that is condusive to what this car is designed to do and not doing.
Truth is not EVERY car is built for every person. There's nothing fanboy about it. Its just true.

Agreed. The headlights on my Z kick a**!
I don't know why anyone would want less light output to see the road with.

The 370 has excellent headlights.

Some things on my wish list for the 370Z:
1) A one push-button front window defroster that kicks compressor on and fan on high. And then when you push / turn it off, it automatically returns HVAC to your previous settings.
2) On Non-NAV Bose radio: Wish the XM radio would show both the Song Name and the Artist Name at the same time. And I wish that you could change channel from the 1st six pre-programmed stations on SAT-1 to the first one on SAT-2 from the steering wheel without having to hit the SAT button. Also, wish the sound quality on XM was closer to the sound quality of CD changer (I've never had a car where the SAT radio sounded this much worse than the CD's.)
3) And I wish the horn was louder.

Several other 'wishes' have been mentioned that I didn't want to duplicate, but for the price, the 370Z delivers more than its moneys worth.

FYI - the complaint wasn't about the headlights (which are awesome). The complaint was about the dashboard indicator light for the high beams. It is full brightness light that's not affected by dimming the dash and makes it harder to see.

Pretty sure you only post negative things in this forum. Why?

Only positive comment was about someone's blue car.

There is no retrofit there that I see. Can you link directly to it?

Side mirrors suck, they are huge and block way too much view...
