IN daily driving no. But there have been a few issues on thetrack. Oil cooler was the fix again.

Man, I'm having the hardest time thinking the G37 or the 370Z through.
The G37 is a bit of a tighter fit headroom-wise because of that damn sunroof and the fact that they reduced the height on the interior by an inch or so. I fit just right in my G35 Coupe WITH sunroof, so the whole G37 issue really annoys me.
The 370Z calls to me. I'm in love with it, I really am, but I haven't had a chance to really test it out (I had a really quick, low speed test drive in one), so I can't experience the blind spots in real traffic, or the road noise, etc.

I'm really curious as to the noise level of the inside versus my G, or previous cars I've owned, and this blind spot issue, while it didn't seem too bad at the time, I really wasn't in any traffic.

The nice thing is that while I'm 6'2", I fit in the Z really well.

Hello there Fellas ...

but i hadn't got the Chance (Financial)

Should i Be concerned ??! If i upgrade any more i wouldn't be able to drive my car like i want to anymore .

one selling point for me was g35s and 37s are a dime a dozen, theyre all over the place. I rarely see any 370s ever here in baltimore, every once in a while I'll see a 350 but thats about it. So yeah I went with the 370, very happy with it too.

I've never been much of the fan of the g37, so it was an easy choice for me. I prefer the looks and sportier nature of the Z. Not to mention its much lighter than a g37 and less common on the roads. Just about everyone has a G around here.

wtf does that say? can someone elaborate please? lol

ANYWAY my thoughts on the G37s is that it still has the same clunky tranny, everything still vibrates like crazy, and the engine is still noisy. For a luxury car Id rather spend that $45K on a 335i. Quieter, more comfy, better resale, more torque, and you really get what you pay for. This is comming from someone who hates bimmers but luxury cars should feel like a luxury car.

shabarivas · 02-24-2010, 01:30 PM

Used to have a G35... spaced / sways / plenum / intake and to this day I have never ever felt the same "woah" from hearing the car just drive (low or high rpm)... Honestly... you cant really compare the two... the new VQ37 just does not sound anything like the old one... Still miss the sound... but hey - trust me it is worth it..

PapoZalsa · 02-24-2010, 09:51 PM

There is a price difference between the 370Z and G37 in price, especially if you get the G37S.

chuckd05 · 02-24-2010, 10:02 PM

I actually wanted a g37s but after driving both I chose the z. It was also much cheaper but the g37 has the creature comforts that mine doesn't . I'll be totally happy once I get a nice head unit.

I came from a g35 coupe loaded with nav. I def miss the nav but overall love the 2 seater raw feel of the 370. No regrets here.

NYBladeZ · 02-24-2010, 10:09 PM

Price wise especially with the G "sport package" you're looking at around $40K, performance wise, the G is heavier and honestly slower. I've been in both multiple times and I still feel that the G is nothing more than a luxury watered down Z. Sure you can mod the hell out of it, but you're probably see better performance numbers doing the same mods to the Z. I also 2nd those who have stated that you see a G EVERYWHERE, which really sucks, this is also why I passed on the 335i, if you want to be unique and faster go with the Z. If you want to be super comfy, spend more $, have an analog watch, and see copies of your car everywhere well then the G is the logical choice.
