Sorry you felt that way Andre its understandable since the torque isn't that great at the bottom end but it does make up for it with a higher redline.

This would have been my 5th Z. I'm on my 3rd. Maxima, 81, 97 se, 99 se, had the first one made, 81 rear wheel drive & talked to me, 91 Stenza, 95 Altima, 93 & 95 Quests, a Villiger(nissan Quest) lease(dog show vans) a number of Sentras, including a 2.0 liter Se/Se-r, a 90's 200sx, a demo 4by2 pickup & more. Because I had access to trades at wholesale prices(friends) I've owned 2 & 3 Nissan at the same time. Most likely I've owned more Nissans than anyone, except for a Nissan dealer

I brought my check book with me today. I'm not dumping on the 370! You guys should be able to take someones negative, (only in part) experience/opinions. The suspension felt sporty, the engine felt weak & empty, with just a flat feeling up to 6,000 rpm. didn't feel the engine helping me control car when down shifting. I've had some of the best Nissans. 1.6 1.8 2.0 liter 4 cyl. 3 liter iron with tim. belts 3 lit alum. w chain a few 3.5 alum. V 8's. I have some experience under my belt

As a self-proclaimed Nissan car connoisseur, do you think that we all made a mistake by purchasing a 370Z (as opposed to another Nissan or another car)?

NO!!!! I've owned a tri power 66 gto, 64 nova, raced my friend's(Brooklyn speed shop) 11 second 64 nova, had a 64 chevelle SS ALL manuel trans. Many cars after that. Braging a little but want to show vast amount of experience. I power shifted cars without using the clutch. I think I'm quilified to express my experience.

It's not a mistake for you! It might or may not be the best choice for me.
