Why a 370Z, Why not a G37
 

Guys,

I have been wanting to ask this question on this forum for a while now. Hopefully I wont get flamed by posting this topic.

Both car has about the same HPs and Torques.

But G37 has these and Z370 has not...

Luxury, European car alike interior, beautiful exterior styling and fits four adults

so why you chose to get a Z370?

It's a lot sportier, and it is slightly less expensive. G37's are nice, but I wouldn't have been happy with what I could get for the cost of a Z, and it wouldn't be as agile in the corners. Just personal experience. Hope that helps. Also, I think the Z looks a lot better in the exterior styling dept.

the g isnt a sports car.:stirthepot:

- Less car pool
- Lighter
- RWD
- OMG, you got a Porsche......I think.....

1. Looks better
2. European Design? If I wanted European... I buy a car from Europe, not Japan?? :ugh2:
3. Styling, see #1.
4. If I wanted to fit more people, I wouldn't buy either. All I need is me + 1. :tup:

LMAO:icon18: umm nice Porsche....i think...

Sadder is that when my girlfriend and I walked out of Target, she walked towards an actual porsche that had a dark grey color.

me: "Honey, that's not my car."

gf: "OMG, it just looks like it!"

:ugh2:

The Z looks better IMO and performs much better than the G. It is lighter and more agile. It's also cheaper to buy and maintain. These were my 2 choices for cars when I bought mine earlier this year. I chose the Z because of better looks, performance, and price. Everyone I knew told me to get the G and every single one of them told me I made the right choice once I brought the Z home :tup:

SMH :shakes head: girls and cars...

The G's styling is much more subdued. Its really a more mature, luxury-oriented ride. This is not something I wanted in a 300+hp vehicle. Yes, there's a certain value in having a sleeper on the streets...but that's not what I was looking for. While the G may have turned my head back when it was a G35...I find that the G37's body lines really don't do it for me. I like the Z's sexy hips and azz much more.

Also..there's something to be said for not having to be the one to haul your workmates around when it's time for lunch. :tup:

I don't even use 2 seats, let alone 4. :mad:

I bought the G37. Needed the lux sport car not just a sport. But wiht that said I am buying the wife a 370 after she complets her masters. So i'll have one of each

I wouldn't have it any other way. She already took my fun out of video games...**** who knew a girl could beat me in video games.

geez she's good :owned: lol...she's a keeper man!! haha hold on to that one:tup:

Why? For me, #1 reason is "looks".

My wife, as I point out a G37 and ask her what she thinks of it: "That looks like an everyday car".

In the 2 years I owned my G35 (still same profile as G37 IMO), I got maybe 2 people to look at my car and actually say something. I got more comments and compliments on my Z three days into owning it. Case closed.

In addition, as others have mentioned... G = sporty, Z = sports car in all categories... looks, performance, sound, feel, etc....

"Look.. you can be like everyone else?(G37) or you can be somebody(370z)"

This is how you should look at it.. since every girl and their mom has a G37. And you have to admit.. alot of people are getting the Z! but still not as much..

Simple -- the G is a sporty car, and the Z is a Sports car.

Big difference.

Fell in love during the test drive and wanted nothing else.

1. Performance the G37 is about 500 pounds heavier than the 370z

2. For me the Z looks better than the G even though I have seen some nice looking G37's

3.The Z is a true sports car the G is a sports coupe.

1) Looks - The Z's butt is just so mesmerizing can't get enough. The G37 is ugly imo. The G35c was much better than the G35c.

2) Rare - The Z is much much much less common than the G37. I see about 25:1 ratio for the G:Z.

ive never been a fan of the G37C's unfortunately. i was sold on the concept like 5yrs ago but honestly they failed on the production model design...this is just me.

to this day i own a G35C since aug 2004... :icon17: im hoping the next gen G-coupe will be nice. that is wat im looking to get next as my dd. that or combine hobby and dd and get a M3 coupe.

until then, it's G35C and 370Z for me. :tup:

good thing about the g37, you can fit your grandkids and walker in the back

Sedan vs sports car. I wanted a sports car. The G37 is a very nice car though. I know my grandmother certainly likes hers...

That's funny! Does your grandmother have the coupe or sedan :tup:?

You were supposed to say "because they dont make a g37 in CY"

hahahah i was shocked when i read his post and it didnt have any references to "CY" in it.

Is that a new BMW model? :ugh2:

I was actually considering a G37s, then I realized my wife already had one! Now the big decision in life is which car to take to car shows, the G or the Z.

I currently have a G37s and switching to a 370z. Its not that I had any major complaints about the G. It has been a great car. Very comfortable, performs when you need it to, and has all the toys you need. I don't discourage anyone from getting it. I am switching to the 370z, however for the following reasons:

- I am 21 years old, and the G IMO is made for a more distinguished and mature person because its a more professional car...I figure that as long as I'm young I might as well drive a true sports car as a daily driver and not a luxury coupe

- I was tired of driving my roommates around and trying to squeeze 4 people's grocery run's in the already limited amount of space lol (i.e. less car pooling as mentioned before)

- you do not give up many luxuries when moving from a G to a fully loaded 370 which makes the transition easier

- the look/feel of the car is more sporty (little noise reduction as compared to the G and a more performance-oriented stance for improved handling over the G)

- I really like the persimmon interior which was a major selling point for me

- Syncro Rev match is awesome and makes you feel like a professional (which I'm not)




Now I will go through the reasons I enjoyed the G so much:

- more comfortable for longer trips (my school is about 2 hours from home and I come home quite frequently)

- perceived as more of a gentleman, especially my gf's parents (which I'm not sure is 100% accurate but I'll take it)

- stock exhaust sounds better than the Z's IMO (but since I'm ordering the Stillen CBE for the Z, this is not bothersome)

- the laser cruise control system helped on longer drives as well

- it was a bit more understated than my old red 350z which made a noticable difference in the amount of attention I got from cops

- for some reason, I didn't feel as guilty for driving it in the rain/snow, maybe because its more of a lux-coupe rather than a sports car





I think ultimately, it depends on what you're looking for. Sports Car or Lux-Coupe (as previously stated)? Each has its benefits and drawbacks.

hope this helps.

Well stated.

I think ideally, I'd want one of each. When I'm feeling reserved and in a business suit, I take the G. When I'm feeling like donning relaxing attire and a loud pair of Oakley's, I take the Z.

I wish I didn't trade in my G for my Z. I wish I kept them BOTH.

(enter Kenchan.... he is my idol... he has both!!!)

Ya that would definitely be ideal!

lol :icon18: but my G looks out of place when i go to HomeDepot. :ugh2: so i take my FitSport...

:rofl2:

Looked at a G35 several years agp. Of course, it was advertised as "the best car in it's class". When I asked the salesperson how it compared to a Z, their only response was "different class".
Of course, I liked the looks of the G35 a lot more than the 350z; especially with the rear spoiler. It was a nice car, but it was like driving a pillow.
I'm glad I waited and got a 370. Love EVERYTHING!!!

because the 370z looks better, imo.

mine drives pretty razor sharp with its mods.

G35C and 370Z are two completely different cars though and thats why i like keeping them both.

I always looked at it as the G is a womens ride and the Z is more of a mans sports car.

i always thought the shocker was a woman. :D

For me looks looks and looks. Just today at the traffic light, a dude in a g37 kept looking at my Z. Plus, around here in the DC area there are plenty of Gs and mostly driven by women.
