I went from a G to a Z. I have multiple cars so room isn't an issue for me. I don't need a bunch of tech in my car. My G had all this tech and it was going to waste because I didn't use it. The sport package on the Z is way more serious, wheel-wise. Cornering is what really turned me on to the Z. Lane change performance is near identical acceleration is similar. The only things the G had over the Z is.
1. It was more stable over 130mph
2. The exhaust had more of a true sports car sound than the Z. The. Z sounds whimpy by comparison.

Anyone who says the G isn't a real sports car hasn't driven one to the limit. Its a sick handling car. Especially for its size weight and convenience. But the Z still trumps it in handling. You just can't beat the short wheelbase for cornering performance. Either car is a good choice. I just prefer the Z, all factors considered.

I love the tech stuff in the G. I wanted something sporty enough while being comfortable. I don't think the fiance would have liked sitting in the Z.

I'm 27 and very happy with it. I really like the Z, but the G was a better fit for what I was looking for.

I bought my Z myself with my own money. Just had to get the OK from parents since loan would be on their name.

Hello guys,

I just switched to a G37 from a 370Z for a number of reasons that have already been stated.The G37 has everything I wanted for a man getting close to 50 years old. It has a more comfortable and quiet ride and the sound system is truly amazing. Other features that the G37 posseses is the sun roof which can make a drive just gloroius during those 70 or 80 Degree days. The other issue for me which caused me to switch is when you have anything in your back of the Z thats heat sensitive. The hatchback acts like a magnifying glass and can ruin equipment because of the high temps. These are some of the reasons which caused me to switch. Now, what I miss is the quickness and handling of the Z. That car was so fast and the looks from others will also be missed. I had people coming up to me and saying nice car or just plain checking it out. Whatever you choose make sure to get what you want. You can't go wrong with either car. Happy driving!!!

So from this we can understand the Z is better because...

1. You feel the ride (better connected with the road)
2. Window tint anyone...

3. Handles better
4. Better Acceleration
5. More admiration than a G

Hmm... good reasons to stay Z.

All in all though, you ask here, most people will say Z. You ask the same question on a G forum, and you're going to get more people saying G. This is why the question hasn't really ever been spoken out loud is the fact your general response is going to be a given...

Either way the best possible outcome of your decision is it's not a Honda.

I had an '04 G35 which I liked and considered buying another before I bought my 370Z. What put me off was a big price increase on the G37 and the styling got ugly. The earlier G35's were instant classics. I do miss the trunk, the very occasional use rear seats, the additional cabin storage space and sunroof of the G and would probably buy another one if they fire their stylists and make the car look classy again. The lower cabin noise of the G also made long cruises more enjoyable but you can't really compare the 2 cars.

I may make a new thread and ask if your Z is your only car .. think its a good idea ???

I'm 41, wish I was 31, but feel like I'm 51.

gr8-wrx · 06-24-2011, 02:27 PM

I'll be 41 later this year. The ZR is our 3rd car out of a 2 driver household and driven on weekends primarily. Doesn't make sense to get something practical like the G37 for us!

7AT is great! I had manual transmissions in my cars for the last 20 years (WRX, Integra, etc). I don't feel like I'm missing anything at all. I test drove the MT Z before buying the 7AT.

Why tomato soup, why not cream of broccoli? These comparison threads are always fuckin retarded.
