What do you love about your 370Z?
 
I have had my '09 Chicane Yellow, 370Z Touring now for just a couple of days and I can honestly say that it is the most beautiful car I have ever owned. I am 58 years old and have had many nice cars but this tops the list. So my question out to you all is to name some things you absolutely love about your 370Z. I'll start it off with mine. I love the power and acceleration you feel going through the gears (M/T), the looks of the 370Z even more than the 350Z, Chicane Yellow, the interior especially the color of the guage numbers and needles, and the Bose stereo. Care to add yours?

It's great fun to drive, it takes a mean picture, it starts conversations.

It is a well-built machine that can go from daily driver to track slut for a few thousand dollars. :tup:

my first sports car. bought it when i was 21, am 23 now. i dont necessarily have to drive it in order to enjoy it... for me, its the thought, the idea, the image, the thrill, the sight. the cruise. the THE....... shucks...... the whole concept of the damn thing!

as compared to all other sports cars (in the Z's price range.)

JWMotoring 06-15-2012 02:23 PM

I don't own one, but I love the stance of them.

Perfectly said!

Being 52 , I have had many cars, including the 350Z.

The interior of the 370Z Touring model is great.

The exterior of the 370Z Sport is great. It is much better than the 350Z.

These cars are not like other cars . You do not see that many on the road which makes them special.

The bang for your buck...I can afford a more expensive car, but I hate the costs of a Benz or BMW, or 911 when you need brakes, oil changes, ect... Just too much money for not that much more fun. The 370Z offers value..

Felix 808 06-15-2012 03:21 PM

I really liked the exterior of the 370 before I ever looked at them on the lot. Once at the dealer, I fell in love with the cockpit, especially now that the silver fuel gauge is blacked out.
While not the fastest or most powerful of cars, the handling is very good & it makes the car a lot of fun to drive.

onzedge 06-15-2012 03:29 PM

I have owned at least one version of every Z model (except the 350) and still have one of my 240Z's. What I love about the 370 is that it retains the "Z-ness", quirks and all, and is the most capable version to date. It is almost as much fun to drive as the 240, but my definition of "fun" is a bit different than most folks.

Mino 06-15-2012 03:29 PM

I love everything about the car, fun to drive, looks, interior, brakes, handling,... One of the top things for me is the SRV specially in Los Angles traffic. I have had the car a few weeks now not even a month and I fall in love with it more and more daily I have had a few cars like this one 2 door sport cars my BMW 335i was a lot faster I'll admit to that however, this car is much more fun to drive and enjoy.

I love how driver-centric the car is. I think this one trait keeps the love alive. :icon17:

red6spd 06-15-2012 04:26 PM

Fun to drive, the attention and the haters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VDC_OFF 06-15-2012 04:34 PM

5th Gear!! Just leave it there and step on the gas and just watch the Speedometer go way beyond 100mph quickly :D

kenchan 06-15-2012 04:38 PM

she reminds me of my pet rabbit.

red6spd 06-15-2012 04:42 PM

I forgot one. Listening to all the people complain about how bad the car is on this forum LOL!!!!!

It's not a common car
It's a genuine sports car (2 seater)
Fits my lifestyle
Fun to drive

That's cause you had your eyes shut while using the force to drive.:driving:

buddyZ 06-15-2012 10:35 PM

I love thats its not a 350Z which i absolutely hated. Once i saw the 370z and got smoked by one in my s2000, i had to have one. Wish i got the sport package, same engine though and i hopefully will get wheels and brakes,lsd on their own one day. Did upgrade the sound though first thing haaha. Worst stock stereo system ever.

Only complaints are Terrible gas mileage, clunky shifting from 1st to 2nd sometimes, not even close to butter smooth. Kind of slower than i thought on the low end torque side with no exhaust note whatsoever, hopefully some bolt ons will give me some more ummphhh and sound.

I don't know about anybody else but gas mileage is NOT why i bought my Z-totally hot and fast, now those we could talk about!! :yum:

:iagree: Mileage? I do not ever think about it.

I would have joined the glassy-eyed, brain-washed, tree-hugging, self-important, holier-than-thou, entitled, dime-a-dozen masses called Prius owners if I cared about mileage.

It is a Z -- say no more.

Wait until they come out with the "track" prius...

They install a fart can, 200 pounds of spoilers, and a Solyndra sticker...

I have a pearl white and I cannot believe the number of people that stop to complement me on this car! Its really incredible! Its a hell of an ego trip!!


I like the feeling of being able to literally think what I want the car to do and it will do it...Climbing, twisting and turning..feeling wind in my face, hearing the growl of the engine and the surge of power.....Yup, its better than sex! plus I get to enjoy it a lot more often!

Pearl White is a beautiful color..I had the PW 350Z and loved it, but we needed a change and went to Black.

But the PW 370Z is awesome...

Streetlife 06-16-2012 01:29 PM

I love everything about Vanity, the color was even more amazing after a full detail! Waiting 7 months for her to be built, was well worth it, and i was just happy Japan wasn't wiped off the map after the tsunami . Also, the Mods i meticulously chose are absolutely perfect for what i wanted to do to make my 370Z perfect for me, I truly have the car of my dreams!:happydance:

This car is a catalyst for extra-marital affairs.

It puts me back to that 280Z feeling. It is wonderful.
