Uhh, what's false exactly?

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 :)

thanks

I'm in South Florida and I actually drive my car nearly 1k miles in a little over a week. I can tell you whether it's short or long(1 hour plus) commutes I don't notice the oil temp even reaching 220 degrees EVER. I also have over 12k miles on my car now. So, it's a no brainer, if that is the only thing keeping you from getting a Z then don't worry and GET ONE!

So very different its hard to compare specifics.

The 300ZXTT is faster and lower and wider, and that gives it a totally unique feel compared to other Z's I have owned (82,86,05,09). The turbos give it a different performance feel altogether, and my 300ZXTT is modded so the performance difference is substantial.

But thats not to rag on the 370Z at all. I love it. Far and away better than the 350Z.

The differences of the two cars (300ZXTT & 370Z) are what makes this the best combination of Z's I have owned. You won't feel like you are driving the same car when you switch to the other.

To me its a good setup to have the 300ZXTT as a weekend car and the 370Z as a daily driver that you never get tired of driving.

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...

wait whut? I hope you're not comparing a modded ZX to a stock Z34, because thats the most wrong statement i've seen here in months.

It is wider than the 370z.
It weights less.
Shorter wheel base
A bit lower.

Basically the same HP/Torque numbers as the 370z, I believe HP is slightly less (10-15) which is made up in loss of weight. The 350z v. 300ZX (both stock) went to the 300ZX, the 370z is actually the probably a bit faster but still a tough race.

my comment was about the 300ZX being faster, no model of the ZX was faster from 0-60 or 1/4 mile, i think there was a thread about this awhile back.

They are very close to each other, again the tip of the hat goes to the 370z but not by much. I never said the 370z would lose, I was just providing facts that the 300ZX is a strong competitor even today, do not under estimate them.

From what i've read, and from a few co workers stories that own them, the engine pops at 400whp. And from what i've seen of the ones in my Z club, i'm not too worried :)

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.

how did we come to fight about the 300zx tt vs. the 370z?

Because talking about what is not the main topic is the right way to talk on the internet. :tiphat:

Only when the original topic has been beaten to death anyway.
