i didn't like how high the 370z was so i lowered it on hks coilovers.

i didn't like how the front chin spoiler rubbed constantly as i drove my 370z daily so i removed it.

i didn't like how the 370z sounded so i got injen cai and went through 4 different exhaust setups (amuse r1000 > mxp > hks ti > akrapovic ).

i didn't like how i couldn't see much with the stock 370z rearview mirror so i put in a broadway mirror.

i didn't like how the stock 370z sport rims didn't have any lip so i put volk te37's on.

i didn't like the 370z fangs or how the rear valence looked like it was stolen from the rogue so i blacked them out.

i didn't like how shiny the 370z headlights were so i blacked them out.

i didn't like how i'd have to drill holes in the 370z's front bumper to mount my front license plate so i made my own mounts ($2.00 mod).

i didn't like how dim and yellowish the stock 370z d2s bulbs were so i swapped in polarg 6k bulbs.

i didn't like how the 370z oil temps were crazy high so i got the ae oil cooler.

i didn't like how the 370z took corners so i installed hotchikis sways.

i didn't like how my 370z's rear rims weren't as flush as my fronts so i put in h&r spacers.

i didn't like how unresponsive and gray the 370z sport bbk were so i got orange project mu 6/4 bbk set installed.

i didn't like how my te37's filled the 370z's wheel wells so i got 20in ssr sp1s.

i didn't like how my new 20in tires rubbed the 370z's fenders so i rolled/pulled them.

i didn't like how the 370z doesn't know what gear to be in when in auto mode so i drive in manual mode 100% of the time.

i don't like how there isn't a proper rear-under diffuser for the 370z so i'm in progress of making one.

most of all..

i didn't like how someone who doesn't own a 370z can bitch about how it doesn't fulfill its sports car image / heritage and how he/she prefers his/hers pos-zoomzoom on a 370z forum and expect to not offend me so i unsubscribed from his/her thread after placing this post about my '09 pw 370z 7at sport.

no offense to you mr./mrs. kiwi.
I do not take offense, as you have not fully read my post and if you have read my post fully then you have come away with prejudice. No i don't own a 370Z but until recently I was seriously considering it. Remember Motoring journalists don't own the car either but they make commentary don't they? That is all i did. Oh and the MX5 is obviously not as fast a 370z in a straight line, but please understand there is more to driving than straight line performance.


I think whoever that poster was quite a while ago wqas onto something regarding MX5 doors. Don't knock until you have tried and i have tried the 370z on numerous occasions. So in a nutshell.....aGIAN..... the Z is a great car, no doubt, it has many things in its favour, looks, handling, quality, braking, features etc BUT for me this quality of engine noise for a car such as this just turned me off, for now. Maybe I'll revisit the Z showroom again and drive a manual Z like I originally did and then i thought WOW. The auto simply made the engine too thrashy.
