My 370z is lowered about 1 or 1.5 inches and my 300zx is lowered 1.5 inches up front. i scrape WAY more in the 370z. i almost never scrape in the 300zx. Granted, i'm really only scraping the sports package chin spoiler, but still.

If only the turn signals were better on this performance motoring object.

I'm just saying, if we're gonna bitch about headrests, we ought to also take a look at turn signals.

Working where I do....I get to drive both daily. Between me and my fiance we own 3.5ish (lol). So I have seen the extremes in both model cars.

I love the the 300zx since it is what I own and came to love the most. I wouldn't necessarily SELL my 300zx's for a 370Z (yet). But given the chance, I would definitly have a 370Z in my garage.

The 370Z is by far a MUCH better handling Z over the Z32. Which it should since its 20+ yrs newer. I think the 370Z is an excellent successor to the Twin Turbo Z32. But both have their highlights that make (and will make) them a classic amongst enthusiasts. The 370Z is also much easier and pleasurable to work on over the Z32...ESPECIALLY the twin turbo.

Otherwise....a 370Z is really better car.

And that damn commercial! The twin... turbos... kick.... in!

I liked the GI Joe/Barbie commercial myself.

I miss my 300 still. The ride quality and lush interior. Hitting my head in certain turns on the roof is very much not missed. Also it's low ride was hard on my aging knees. The 370 delivers.

I think most of us like the 300ZX, I think most of the criticisms are of the writer of the article. Here's my take ...

What do you think of someone who uses the words

"special" and "unique" in the same sentence as "tweed, vinyl, and plastic" when describing a car's interior ...

WarmAndSCSI · 09-22-2011, 11:32 PM

The so-called author didn't even check his facts. The 300ZX is 2 inches WIDER than the 370Z? First off, you'd have to literally be blind to think that is accurate, and a simple search for the specs of both cars reveals that the 370Z is 2 inches wider than the Z32 300ZX...

As soon as I read the interior comparison part of the article, I just

and closed the tab.

yep, 370z is wider, taller, and longer than a 2 seater z32.

One of these days I'll add a Z32 TT to my stable. Just think that there is some valid comparisons between the Z32 and the Z34. It tells you just how good a job they did on the Z32. Not many 20 year old cars can stand up to their current versions.

I wouldn't recommend it for the sake of your 370z
