G37 vs 370Z

I LoGiK I

lol, I have yet to race him.
But yeah, I know what you're saying

If I had a kid and needed a back seat I would get a G. Otherwise it would be the Z. Both nice cars IMO.

Heh, no kids here for a looong time . But ya, I think I'm starting to grow fond of the Z, especially Pearl White .

I hardly ever have more than one passenger in my G but it's always nice with the extra room back there and the occasional extra passenger or two.

i wanted to revive this old thread since i had a question.

I am also debating between both cars. I have quickly test drove both and liked how smooth the G drove but liked the clutch and sportiness of the Z. They both are great cars!

I guess my questions is about costs. Do you think there is a significant difference in maintenance and repair(if that ever happens) costs between the 2?

I just purchased my 370z. I traded my 2004 G35 6MT (brembo, navigation, etc)....I miss the car, and it was a blast to drive. That being said I did not want to buy a G37c. Wanted something different, so I purchased the 370z. It is smaller and has less space, but I do have another daily driver to use if needed.

Wow. I came and signed up to the forum to ask this exact question (og topic).

My wife wants an auto G37 coupe. I like the styling of the Z a bit better. Appears after reading this thread, the G sounds like a better choice for her daily. Sounds like it rides smoother and has a bit more room.

Any other opinions/suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

I considered a G37, but there were only two things it had over the 370Z small
rear seats in addition to the cargo room. And a 7 year warranty. The Gs styling is more mondane and the interior is dated, plus you pay for that 7 year warranty.

Dated interior? What interior are you looking at. The gauge cluster isn't as sporty looking as the Z but, the center stack in the Z is ripped right of skyline????

With the proper bushings, toe arms, sways, coilover,2.0inch drop, and an aggressive custom tune. The G will tear most v6's and some v8's a new one. Also the 112inch wheelbase increases stability when ridin yp 160+mph. Best believe the G will achieve 1.12g' when properly modded.

My gripes with the G are these:

1. NO HANDBRAKE ON 7AT
2. Should be 150lbs lighter
3. Steering could be a tad heavier a la 370z.
4. Gauge cluster could look a little more aggressive
5. LAST BUT FAR FROM LEAST! MORE LOW END TORQUE!! Which is equally true of the Z.

What's better about the G.
1. BACK SEATS
2. Moonroof
3. More comfy front seats. 12positions and leg support
4.better stereo
5. Intelligent cruise control
6.back up camera
7. LAST BUT NOT LEAST. SOUNDS WAY BETTER THAN A Z EITHER STOCK OR WITH AFTERMARKET EXHAUST.

What's better about the Z
1. Aggressive styling.
2.cool center gauges
3.can corner harder with stock suspension.
4.LIGHTER! Base plus sport auto is 3269lbs. Manual is 3242lbs. Making it the lightest affordable 300+hp v6 auto.
5. Sick azz wheel options right from the factory.

Not so good about the Z.
Cramped interior,

What's not so good about both cars.
Gas mileage sucks for the engine size, but I can deal with it for the performance.

Who to look out for.

1. A lighter Z/28 camaro.
2. Subaru 416a concept coupe. (Sti version might have a 330hp turbo)
3. Mazda rx7 16x rotory. The most top secret concept of all. ( may shock the masses???)

My G37 mods
1. Nissan skyline badging
2. Akebono brake stickers
3. FI catpipes
4. injen cai
5. Stillen sway bars

On order
JIc coilover kit

Next mods.
Bushings
toe arms
exhaust and header by FI.
