Firstly, how significant is the performance upgrade (acceleration, handling, etc)?
I still own both my 350 and the 370. Pretty significant speed advantage, but my 350 handles better.

Secondly, is the noise level of the 370Z significantly increased over the 350Z?
Noise level is less in the 370.

Thirdly, to those living in hot climates such as South Florida, have oil temperatures been a problem?

My "hot climate" makes florida's "hot climate" look like a nice spring day, and I've never had any issues. Although I don't track, I sit in stop n go traffic every day.
Lastly, is the transmission as clunky as the 350Z for example 1st to 2nd shift)?

Can't comment, got the auto this time around. But yeah, my 350 is pretty fuckin clunky.
Thank you

Dead serious. Some others have made the same comments if you look around.

the 350 feels stiffer.

Yep. Makes those corners much easier to take at high speeds.

That all being said, the 370 will still handle WAY better than the stang and camaro you're cross shopping.

SophiaZ · 03-18-2010, 02:33 PM

Yea, just go for a test drive. People can tell you their opinions about the 370, but only you can tell if it's what you would want. I did own an 04 350 before the new Z...I missed it for like a week and than I said " Daym, I love this car!" The 350 is just a memory now and THE Z..is the FUTURE

I need to find myself a clean 300zx TT .... every single one i see has some fiberglass body kit thats cracked in 4 spots with mufflers hanging off scraping on the ground...

Last summer when it was 100+ for several days I had no issues with oil temps. I have 10k miles on my 2009 and it burns zero oil.
