I just had my first test drive in a 370Z

NuffZed

My 370 is the most fun I've had with a car period. Not the fastest but that's OK. I've owned 2 vettes that I turned into race cars, a jag, an alfa Romeo, mustangs, trans am and others not worth mention but the 370 is a joy for me to drive.

My crowning moment thus far with it was last month when a gorgeous copper Audi R8 GT pulled up beside me at a light and the knockout woman driving it says she loves my car... Sadly my invitation to coffee resulted in a "Sorry"and a wave of her hand with a very big ring on it. But damn a BMW or Cayman wont get that level of attention.

Buy it, put softer rubber to lessen the noise and enjoy. Maybe the R8 driver who admires yours won't be married...

Same car situation with me. Was in downtown seattle one night on first ave right by pikes place and my car was parked on the side of the street. My GF went inside to look at stuff to buy while waiting for a friend who was with his GF decided to miss the exit when he was following me. While we were waiting for him to meet back up with us a R8 drove by while I was standing next to the Z. Dude damn near redlined his throttle when he glanced over at the Z. Put a big azz grin on my face to know a almost $200k Audi took enough notice to rev up.... Just concretes my thoughts on how well Nissan did with the design and budget that the 370Z brings to the table.

I got the 370Z trying to be reasonable in my expectations. It has significantly exceeded those in the performance area. As to the rest, I was expecting it to be a sports car. Noisier than some cars, yes, but not intrusively so for me. It's not gadget-laden, but is very functional (sport-tourer) and has a sufficient number of amenities to make it generally commensurate with modern sports cars.

My first Z was a 240Z and my last one before this 370Z was a 280ZX Turbo. By the time I got the Turbo, the Z had gone far from the sports car category and become a bloated GT luxo-cruiser. I lost interest in the platform. Thirty years later, the 370Z goes back to my expectations of a performance sports car and I am completely happy with it.

Well said. Its what a sports-car should be. If you want airconditioned seats and heated massage lounge chairs get an Audi A8L or the like and leave the real sportscars to those of us who know the difference. People beeotch about what it doesnt have, forgetting what they actually bought in the first place.
