When i brought my Z all of my friends hate it especially Alex "w/ the 135i N55 engine that can make 475whp, by jusy putting a chip in it (plus few addons like intercooler exhast etc.) He told me that like onehundred Kazzillion times and i kept telling him "its not about the hp its about the car that you like" So a year goes by we finally agreed to swap cars for a week.

I must say 135i is quick, soft, smooth, handles pretty good, but it felt like i was going to brake the shifting knob if i try to shift it like i do on my nissan not that i shift hard or anything it just felt frigile. At the end of the week when we trade back he says ''you know its a nice car for that price.'' Another week goes buy he calls me up talking about buying 240sx and dropping an RB26 in it. Another week goes buy he is talking about getting a 350Z that he found for sale at 7,500k so i tell him why would you waist your money like that? weit till your lease on the bemmer ends and buy your self a 370z then build it. He sad nothing, i think he hates when am right.

In the end I love my car, its great start if you are trying to build an 800whp monster heheehehe.

Great performance, handling, interior comfort, and styling along with good gas mileage - what more would a reasonable person ask for?

As far as the noise issue goes, if you tend to drive on gravelly roads, roads with loose material (sand, pebbles, etc.), or rough roads then the interior noise is probably going to be unpleasant - although that can be tamed by adding sound deadening material such as Dynamat (also described in various threads on the370Z.com). I live in SoCal and I don't have a problem with noise in the passenger cabin.

All in all - after owning and using it as a DD for almost 3 years, I'm still pleased as all get out with my 370Z!

I mostly agree. Best car value. Gravel can be dealt with by a quick stop to allow it to fall to ground or listen to it, no big deal. Mileage for me is a happy, 12 MPG. If I get better it means that I had to drive slowly.

I am fortunate and could buy most any car on the market. Spending over $200,000 for a car is just hard to justify in my working for a living mind. I feel it is a story when I tell my friends about blowing away a more expensive car, with a cheap Z. Telling friends about blowing away a 370 while driving a McLaren MP4-12C, sounds like a bully picking on a child. So what, who expects the Z to win?

As far as street racing goes, I drive fast with or without another car on the road. If there is another car around people call it a race but that is how fast I planned on driving anyway. With this said I have encountered all kinds of more expensive cars that have had me stuck to their bumpers or pulled over to let me go. They might be racing, I just want to get past them like they were a Prius etc..

With the 370Z I can complain about small things* but when put up against other expensive sports cars, $1000 for an oil cooler or an exhaust seems petty.

* I needed a new short block and some emission warranty work.
