Your opinion on the 370Z

rmorrow · 08-03-2010, 08:00 PM

I have only had my 370Z for a short time...about 1600 miles on the odometer now. Driving in Houston's heat daily, I have not experienced oil temps above 230. This is some stop and go, and definitely some spirited driving when conditions permit. I had a Mustang GT 2006 with significant mods, running at about 345 dyno-tested rear wheel HP, and the 370Z is better in every way, bone-stock. Obviously there are differences with muscle cars versus sports cars. Be prepared for some clunky shifts between 1 and 2 if you get the MT. After some repetition, you will get used to the shifts, but you will still get the clunky shifts if you are not constantly "on your game". Other than the sticking hatch issue, you might get a wobbly drivers side seat in the coupe with the sports package. I believe that there is a TSB and warranty repair for the seat issue. As others have mentioned, you will have to get used to the blind spot on the passenger side of the car, a rough ride on concrete with road noise...but this is a sports car. IMO this is the best sports car on the road for the money. The best part is that there are not 370Z's all over the roads...Mustangs and Camaros are a dime a dozen. You can put me into the "picky consumer" category, difficult to satisfy, but the 370Z is one of my better purchasing decisions.
