350Z vs 370Z highlights?!?!?!

Kingbaby · 05-03-2011, 02:37 PM

He's saying they didn't take any features from the 350z except the Z part. Op you have to do your research if your gonna be a z driver. Seriously!

Do you know what a 240z is?

Figure that out and it all falls into place.

I was gonna defend the 03-08 z but nah! I see you lost drivers on the road lol...

I went shopping in '06 and looked at the 350. From the driver's perspective there was almost no rear view at all. Also the cockpit wasn't very um...special.

As mentioned, the 370 is lighter, more powerful, faster, shorter, and wider.The interior is way better, the sat nav is improved, better sound, etc.

Being asked the question isn't unfair or dumb. Nissan has managed to screw up Z's over the years too. The 240Z was amazing. The 280 wasn't bad, but not particularly better. Then until the 350 Nissan totally dropped the ball. I am very grateful that the evolution is now going the right way. The 350 restored the Z to its rightful place as a reasonably priced true sports car (as opposed to the Mitsubishi Eclipse, which looks cool but isn't a true sports car). The 370 is truly evolutionary. It isn't a completely new car from the 350. It is an amazing refinement.

Curious what your gripes are with the 300ZX, I feel like its a favorite of many Z enthusiasts.

I haven't seen that anyone has noted it, but the 370 and the '07-'09 (vert) 350s have basically the same engine. The 350 of course is 3.5, but they both are HR motors.

As a footnote, ALL Z names relate to their engine size. 240z=2.4 litre, 280=2.8 and so on.

I had an '05 350 and believe me, the improvements over the 350 are great. As much as I enjoyed my 350, I don't miss all of the rattles and issues involved with it.
