if you're even considering paying ONLY 2-3k less for a 350z, get the 370. that's a no brainer.

For me the breaking point is the interior. The interior is so much nicer on the 70.

370z! Better interior, 19" Rays, big brake kit, SRM, Homelink rearview mirror AND sexier hips! Need I say more?

Listen to me: The important thing is that you make a decision based on what you want or can afford (if money's part of the equation). Don't bother listening to your friends, because ultimately you're the one that's going to be putting the cash down (not your friends). Either way, you'll end up with a sick ride. You can ask a bunch of Z enthusiasts what they think and they'll fill up 15 pages telling you what they think is best...but it still all amounts to the same thing I already mentioned above.

Enjoy your ride...keep us updated...and post pics, because we all LOVE seeing siiick a Z!

I honestly suggest you get 370z. Yes......it'll cost you more but I can guarantee you it'll be well worth it. Faster, stronger, sexier, lower, shorter, wider. 370z is better than 350z in just about every aspect.

Get the 350z

"I like facts, and the fact is the 370z is NOT faster than the 350z HR.
Fact is the 350z is lighter than the 370z
Fact is the 370z makes less TQ than the 350z HR
Fact is the 370z makes only 10 more rwhp than the 350z HR."

Obviously its a faster car

Oh ok, cool.

I've had people actually say that to me before. They told me that I would not win in a race with an HR 350Z. Now I've got the time slip to prove them wrong

If you can afford the extra $2-3k then go for the 370Z. If nothing else, you will be covered with a factory bumper to bumper warranty for at least some amount time if the mileage isn't too high. Also take into account which might have been used more roughly or driven harder as it may cause more problems later on. These problems will be a lot more expensive to fox when you're out of warranty.
