370z hate?

i dont think the Z looks bad....the Z has some sharp lines and some curves. the Gt-R has a boxy look, which will look outdated.....

I have to agree with this 100%. The GT-R, to me, just has too many sharp angles. The design looks busy and doesn't flow. It may be a super-car in its guts, but the outside is no classic design at all.

The Z on the other hand, is beautiful like a woman, with all those curves! And echoing the design of a Porsche is usually not a bad thing.

I feel the same way about the Nismo 370Z as I do about the GT-R though. The Nismo version replaces or hides some of those beautiful curves on the stock Z with boxy parts, whether it be that boxy rear-end or the ridiculous spoiler.

Give me the stock Z any day!

Sport version has the right mix of wheels and rear spoiler to not ruin the curves. Like it or not, I always thought the Caymen was one beautiful car. The 370Z has great curves also, and adds some muscularity without going the "sharp angle" route to achieve it.

I've been cross shopping 370Z and Corvette. For some reason I feel like the 370Z is a better overall car, quality and interior, etc. However I do love the big V8. Has anyone drove both? Can 332HP compare to a 430hp vette?

Also has anyone driven BOTH a NEW Maxima and a 370Z that can comment?

The 'Vette eats the Z up in a straight line for sure. In the corner's it's just as good with the Z giving you a little better feedback than a C6.

The Corvette is a well built car. Some of the materials in the interior are cheap but it's still a good car.

Vette vs. Z is a tough choice...

Z vs. Maxima... can't really compare. Obviously the Z is going to beat it in every performance category. Comfort and practicality... Max hands down!

Great info...Thing is the Vette is going to be much more expensive than a 370Z with the same options....and I kind of like the Z in that it's not SO low to the ground and so obnoxious looking (in a good way). Also have a great nissan dealer I deal with. The 370Z seems like a Maxima in terms of options and comfort and a sports car at the same time...thats really what I like about it. The Vette is a different thing altogether. I test drove an 09 C6 and I liked it a lot but the 370Z seems like its got more room for the driver and passenger...is it just me?

The Z's cabin feels more spacious. Not sure on the specs, but I'm sure being taller overall has something to do with it.

The Z and C6 are both really nice cars. I don't think you can go wrong with either.
