Traded in my 09Z for a 2012Z

Yes ... it has a small oil cooler. Not big enough for track use but supposedly an improvement for spirited road driving in warm weather over previous model years

Haha that's funny. What did you get the Nismo or the Touring sport? I know there's no actual difference between the 09 vs 12 but could you say you feel a difference?

The biggest difference between the 09 and 11 is the Z can absorb bumps better. 2012 they added the cooler. Dampening was improved in 2011 as well as some sound deadening was added. In 2010 they added the hvac air filters and better screen for nav and all Z's added a tonneau cover bracket in case you want to order the cover.
Every year they make small changes on the Z..

I find the oil cooler to be good for just about anything you can do on a regular road. I've beat on this thing pretty hard.

I took the Touring with sport package since I only had the Touring before. I loved the Nismo at least the power but I did not like that there was really no leather interior, no Navi, heated seats which my wife loves. It was missing to many things that I already had.

I do not feel buyers remorse, in my entire life I have only owned one car (1999 Eclipse GSX). After that I have never owned a vehicle.

I did take the 0 interest and I was not upside down on my 09 Touring with no sport package. This was part of my agreement with the sales rep, I told him that I could not be upside down on my current car.

I just looked at it as I wont have to deal with the lock issue, I have navigation, I have the rays rims, and the color that I really wanted from the start.

I've got a poll question based on this thread.

HOW MANY WOULD REPURCHASE A 370Z IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO IT?
