Why does the 370 not have any safety ratings?
I've searched all over but have come up with no results. I know that there must have been some sort of test otherwise the NHTSA wouldn't allow the car on the road... or am I wrong?

The only thing i've found has been the 08 350z which had 4 star front, 5 star side, and 5 star rollover resistance rating.... not to bad ... I would hope that with the newer design the 2011 would be at 5 stars for the front as well.

I'm not certain, but I believe a manufacturer has to sell a certain number of units before safety ratings are performed. Dunno.

What I found
The federal government and the insurance industry have not crash tested the 2011 Nissan 370Z, nor have they tested similar 2010 or 2009 models.

You mean to be a crash test dummy? Hmmm, that would probably suck.

Because danger is its middle name.

Also keep in mind that they never made a 2007 Evo in the U.S. because the 2006 and below only had a 2 star side crash rating, therefore it wasn't even going to be allowed on the road. |

as someone else said on that forum dad... their rate went down.. my rate also went down from my MS3 by about 9.00 every six months.... newer cars usually equal more safety.

 The 370 is not a high volume seller! Some Models Are Not Rated If the model you seek is missing crash-test results, they may be pending or the vehicle may not be tested. Both agencies concentrate on the "highest-volume vehicles". Convertibles are rarely tested for this reason, though for the first time in 2007 IIHS tested 10 models, including several best-sellers like the Chrysler Sebring and Ford Mustang. Results for new or recently reengineered models are likely to appear months after the car goes on sale because both agencies purchase their test subjects from dealerships. NHTSA notes if a vehicle is TBT (to be tested) or if results are pending or under review. IIHS has begun to offer more detailed information about whether or not test results are pending.
