370Z to G37？

Elric · 03-08-2012, 12:30 AM

I just had this idea right now of jumping out of my Z into a G !!!

I got a base 6mt Z with s/p but sometimes I really wish I had heated seats, nav,etc just more luxury overall and some EXTRA Seats. Iv been with my Z for half a year now and really have been enjoying it everytime I get into it. However I am not a track guy nor a mod guy, at least for now. I use my Z as DD since its my first and only car.

What are your thoughts on switching between the two？
How much handling"aka FUN"am I going to lose in the G and how much luxury am I gaining？
Could you give me some very reallistic PROs and CONs on the G compared to Z？

Any related words are welcomed!
This would be a big choice if I am going to make it.

Thanks in advance
Elric

I had a g35, and the difference isn't enough to me to warrant losing thousands on a trade in.

My Z was a second hand car and I got it for 25k with 14k miles on it. Paid full price and no lease or finance or any thing like that.
Should I give a another shot later？ since I only got it for half a year.
Thank

IMO I'd prefer a G35 over the G37. But to answer your question, you gain back seats, I think its AWD as oppose to FRD. Nav and heat can be obtained on both cars. More HP to accomodate the 300 lbs difference. I just think that the G37 is like a 3 series BMW not close to an M3 though. What's funny though is that since I prefer a G35 but could only get a brand new G37, I'd also think about the Altima. I know its less HP but with a few mods, you can save money. The new G just doesn't appeal me at all.

What's FRD? THE G37 and G37s coupe and sedan are RWD vehicles. You can opt for a G37x or xsport that is AWD. AWD comes at a premium and is NOT the standard Drivetrain.

Could FRD be Front engine rear wheel Drive?
Just a thought after playing GT5

Honestly, sounds like your mind is already made up but you're looking for reinforcement or approval for this decision. I don't blame you as it's human nature and in fact, I say go with the G if the loss isn't significant on your budget. If you make mad dough, the loss of a couple thousand won't mean shiznit.

Not making mad dough just yet

thinking getting an alternative car instead of giving up the Z. just too good to pass on it

The new G37 Coupe looks like complete butthole, The old G35 is legit, But overall 370Z is a lot better, yeah the inside of the 370z looks like a base model with the craptastic radio horrible speakers, But all it takes is a thousand bucks and u can have a good radio and speakers, G37 u paying for that G and that "luxury" to me 5 thousand dollars more aint worth heated seats and electric seats and a little fancy clock. Save up your nickels and dimes and do some upgrades. Your never look back nor will you regret having the Z, All it took for me was a touch screen navigation and exhaust and I got hooked.

Subjective. I think he needs substance for the comparison. Facts. It's all too subjective of a topic if I may say so.

I wanted to do upgrade earlier but when it comes to that Im a total noobie. last time I went to a store they quoted me 500 dollars just for installing a 2din head unit. I really think it wasnt worth that much..or being ripped off

thanks for the feedback
