Considering getting this... but I have a few questions
 

new here. nice to meet everyone. hopefully i will be a new 370z owner very soon. but i had a few questions and concerns i need help answered before i really consider buying.

1: how is this car for an everyday driver? i'll be going to open tracks and the likes with my friends once in a while but it will be mostly used as an everyday driver.

2: will this car do well in snow (i live in Chicago, Ill).

3. planning on getting the 370z Touring with sport package 7AT, how much should i expect to pay?

thanks guys

welcome to the community, all 3 questions are detailed in great extent here on the forums. It would benefit you greatly to learn to use the search feature.

1. Its great.
2. No, you will need snow tires.
3. http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-p...ice-price.html

:iagree:

thanks for the reply. for my second question about the snow though, i was asking more about the ride height. is it adequate enough to be able to handle 6-12 inches of snow with no problems? thanks again

no way lol for snow that deep youll have to put snow tread on your boots

1. It's GREAT. I daily drive this car. Almost racked up 16,000 miles in 11 months. How long is your daily drive?

2. Straight from the dealer, it won't do well at all since it comes with Summer Tires. But if you put some winter tires on the car, it handles snow just fine. You can take a look at this video or thread.

With Blizzaks, you can tackle up to 4-5" of snow. Anything more, you need a SUV. No RWD will handle snow more than 5" because the front bumper will not clear the snow.

3. Why not start with an invoice price and work your way up? :tup:

Good luck man. If you have ANY other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

:welcome: to The370Z

lol. ok, maybe i over-exagerated a little bit. how about in snowy conditions where the road will be wet with SOME snow and sludge? lol. i dont plan on off-roading with it or anything lol

I drive the car everyday, I absolutely love it.

You will need snow tires.

I paid under invoice for mine.

It IS a RWD so it wont do very well on snow anyway

true, but im willing to sacrifice that for when summer comes lol. so, guys, i just searched for winter tires, ALL-SEASON tires will work just as good in the snow right?

as far I know they are alot better than summer tires but winter tires are alot better.

my megane had all season tires. they still got stick and slipped quite alot

Too funny! :icon18:

No get full winter tire setup, you'll need it! Try these forums for further information, there are some great responses as to what works best!

The last one is for fun, you'll see how many people have their Z's in full out snow, don't be worried about 6" lol:hello:

Plus don't fret over this subject now, summer's rolling in now!!! Leave it until september/ october!:happydance:

thanks for the tips and answers guys. u really helped a lot! now i feel confident in my decision to get one. thanks again!

If you have decent snow tires RWD vehicles get around just fine.

Use common sense, drive for the conditions.

6 to 12 inches, a 370Z snow plow....:ugh2:

Especially with that new Stillen fascia I plan on getting, nice big scoop in front there...:tup:

Well found this, if is like this them I getting one!

Welcome!
 

1 - This is my second Z - it is a fun car.
1 - I park it during the winter.
1 - I just got a 2010 370Z NISMO. I was able to negotiate the price down to 36500 (the mark down is $3000.00 on most 370Z). The dealer gave me a 3.0 APR which they usually don't do on sport cars. If you have good credit they will work with you. Just be petient and persistent. If you are going to buy don't wait until the summer - It will be harder then...

no
no
no

:tiphat:This car does terrible in the snow, snow tires or not. Don't F up your car driving it in the snow, go out and purchase a 2000 dollar beater.... It MIGHT be able to handle 3 inches, but your pucker factor will be through the roof!

:iagree:

Why anyone would drive this car (or any sports car) in the snow is beyond me. They are not designed to be driven in show hence summer tires that come stock. Not only do you risk your car being beat up and looking like crap after the winter season (This 370z paint is the WORST) you run the risk of serious injury to yourself and others.

Do yourself a favor... don't buy the new exhaust system or rims you were planning on getting for the 370z and instead buy a 2000-3000 dollar jeep or another 4 wheel drive winter beater and put the Z away for the winter.

You keep the Z looking pretty for the summer time and you have no winter worrys.

Seriously? The car has about 3 inches of ground clearance. LOL. Seriously?

nice idea! snow plow! The Z can clear the road for all the 4WD trucks following behind at 2 mph :ugh2:

It's in German, but that doesn't matter...
