I wish the 370 was just a little bit more compact... my only bone of contention with an otherwise amazing sports car

Better? I like it alright, but better is a tough one.

That being said, I'd kill 5 people for a nice 240

The 300 comes from an age when a car manufacturer could design a car to look the way they wanted it to. Pedestrians bouncing off the top of the engine be damned.

Looks can be deceiving. The 370 is shorter, wider and lighter. I think it is the smaller height of the 300zx that makes it look more compact. The 300zx's height is about 3 inches less than the 370.

I respectfully disagree with you. The 370Z is already compact enough, I mean like somebody here posted it's already shorter than the 300ZX, and wider, wider is always better.

It's smaller and lighter than the 350Z. The 370Z parked next to a GT-R for example, makes the Z look like a baby.

There is enough room inside the 370Z to be comfortable with it's small and wide shape, if you want more compact you should have gotten an S2000 or Miata. Those cars fit very snug, but I like some breathing room when I spend time in my cars.
