350z to 370z owners

UNKNOWN_370 · 05-23-2011, 03:19 PM

The 370z is definately a step up. I didn't own the 350 but have driven a few. Its true the engine/exhaust sounded better and felt a little more torquey. But I do think handling wise, the 370 perfected what the 350 didn't. A 370z sport still kicks a 350nismo's azz.

Dude, while I disagree that it will be a complete *** stomping, it's pretty flimsy to pull out one example with the margin being .01, which could be the margin of error on the timing unit.

umm...I'm just showing how close the NISMO 350Z lines up with a 370Z under track conditions on 2 different tracks. The NISMO 350Z was a badass track car in it's day, a much bigger difference between it and it's base model than the difference between the 370Z and NISMO version in real world situations. And as you pointed out, I'm not the one making "*** stomping" claims here.

I never disagreed that the NISMO 350Z is close to the 370Z in track conditions? And that's a very valid point in regards to the separation between the NISMO models and their respective base models.
