370z hands down. The best built Z to date imo. The interior doesn't suck like the 350 and the curves are a lot more sexy just to name a couple.

:inoutroflpuke:

370z hands down :happydance:

I like both for what they are and personally think overall they are very similar.

I originally liked the 370z more but now the softer edges of the 350z seem to be appealing to me. Regardless I think rims/lowering/exhaust on a 350z are a must for me and lowering/exhaust on a 370z are also a must.

I think the 370Z is better in most ways, but I think the 350Z roof/windshield line looks better - the sharper roof line of the 370Z doesn't integrate as well with the rest of the car IMHO.

I still think the Z32 300ZX has the most classic looks of all, however.

I can see positives and negatives in both models. I almost got a used low mile 350 instead of the z that I have today. But the deal fell through, the 370 is a for sure improvement over the 350. They will always have the,"next greatest thing" around the corner. Who knows, the next z could be the 390z. I'm happy were I'm at now, plan on doing light mods as I go. if I keep it until its paid off, I will most likey supercharge or go Turbo.

are you like a highschool kid doing a paper for english class?

The kid owns a sentra /thread.


oh wait.... :tup:

I still stare at my 370Z once in awhile. Never happened with the 350 so I go with 370 long term. :tiphat:

Ditto.

The 350 is "bulby, overweight" looking. I never liked it, even from its introduction in '02; it never grew on me. I don't like its profile: short nose, long rear (C pillar on back)...it doesn't flow well. With all due respect to 350 owners, it looks low rent to me, especially the interior. It looks like a "fancier 3rd gen Eclipse." I'd rather have an S2000 over a 350.

The 370 has that gorgeous long nose, short rear deck styling echoed from the S30 240Z. It's ageless granted that you don't rice it out nor sticker-rape it. The 370 looks like a $60,000 car whereas the 350 looks like the $26,000 car it was meant to be. The 370's rear end echoes Porsche 911 because of its voluptuous humps....

Dang that's honest. Kinda smarts.

-From my phone, to space, and straight to your face.

The 370 will age better it pays homage in its styling to the 240. Obviously we all had a choice to get the 350 and picked the 370 for one reason or another. I don't hate the 350 but I do not like the turn signal lights being separate on the front and rear bumper. You can change the lens out for clear on the front or smoke them to make them look a little better. It's just not a clean look to me. That is the same reason I do not like the '13 370 with DRLs on the front bumper. I guess time will tell.

If you end up getting a 350 I would go with an HR model.

:ughdance:

Why????

I never liked the 350z, and can honestly say that if Nissan hasn't updated it in 2009 I would have bought a G37 or Mustang.

I know there will be some hating going on.

^that black nismo looks like it should have a "not a step" sticker on its rear behind LOL

This is basically a 350z vs 370z thread, we really didn't need another one do we?

They both have their strengths and weaknesses, I personally think OEM to OEM the 370z is a much more refined car with better materials which will probably still age better than the 350z

350z will be a better value though so it will be completely reliant on how the owner took care of either car after that much time has passed

I actually think there is a similar thread on my350z.com(KingBaby was that you opened up that debate??;)) and most of people there thinks 350z is much better(look wise) then the 370z. So I think both places are biased. Realistically, it all boils down to the personal taste. IMHO, both 350z and 370z are great looking cars.

The "hate" is strong with me...

I would post a 370Z JGTC car, but...

+1

I like the ideas behind the 370Z, but then they did what they did to it!


Why a Nismo model in the first year?

Why headlight bump and huge side mirror and same 350z drag?

Why the fender sides so huge?

Why no hood bump like the 240z?

Why 20s Look normal?

Why 18s are hard to pull off?

Why the cabin is cramp, more tighter than the Z33 for the bigger guy crowd?

:roflpuke2:


It's all love...

Nissan does it at every level...

Wait till the next Z comes out, they'll create thousands of kingbabies, with hate spewing out thier eyes!

LOL! Not hating you man. It's just because your avatar really stands out like our Z.:rofl2:

never was a fan of the 350z, nismo editions does seem to age better just less out there or maybe 40th edition?

Some of these 350z comments are funny, but the 350z is a classic.

:yum:

Good gawd man, that is the greatest NISSAN race car of all time :tup:

:iagree:

I have a 2003 350z inblack with the stillen carbon fiber SC hood with roja 19 inch rims.
I love driving it as it feels and sounds like a sports car should. I also have a 09 370 z.
it to quite, and drives very nicely till you push it and it just flys.
i have a gtm stroker with the wolf 850 kit going in the 350.
the 370 will have a gtm stage 3 Sc with 4.08 gears on my built 20 over motor.
i like them both .
but the 350 z is the " creature of the night " when i go cruising.

At this time, the 350z looks way outdated. It's just too soft/bland looking for 2012. As well, I think the 370z is gorgeous.

...in 20 years... the sharp lines and aggressive stance will still prevail: so, 370z.

:D

I'd have to say the 370z because they did it right with the swept back roof line oppose to the 350.

Then again all z's are collectible in a sense

When you say age well, what does that mean? If you're talking about looks the 370z will "age" better simply because they are too expensive for teenagers to get but cheap enough for a middle class person too get. By that time however you're expected to be having a family and ****, so the 2 seater 70 doesn't appeal to most. So that is why you see less 70's, and therefore it will hold it's value more due to rarity.
HOWEVER, as for popularity and standing the test of time, the 350 has it hands down. Maintenance on a 50 is cake (****, even changing the oil on a 70 takes forever...).The aftermarket is 10x more expansive and affordable allowing for every taste, either classy or ricey, to be realized. It is also very affordable for teens who have no real parental/transportation responsibility so can manage the 2 seater life. Also, the 350 made a much larger impact on the "car scene" from the get go because of its stark tear from the 300 styling. Go to any car show or race event and there will be more 50's than 70's. Just from a social perspective it is apparent that the 50 will be around longer. How many times have you gotten the "nice 350z" from some random wannabe boy racer punk? The 50 hit hard and became the sensation because it came out when the "scene" shifted from old dudes and muscle and became about younger generations and the "underground" and "F&F racing" all that ****. So will the 70 be more valuable later on because of its rarity and looks? ("nice porsche"...) YES. But on the other hand the 50 will be around longer and will it be more popular? YES.
So it comes down to whether you want ease of maintenance, more popularity, and complete customization with less money per mod. Or if you want to have that slightly higher end look without the higher end pay, but less customization per dollar, more maintenance, and less popularity.
"age well" is relative... Damn that was long winded...

:tup:

you must be from the future

fixed.

:iagree: still ridin with the 370z though, biased

I like the 370 more (subjective). But the 350 will probably age better and be easier to find a good example of in the future. There are many more of them, they are easier to work on, their are more replacement and aftermarket parts for them, and they aren't as technical as the 370 meaning less stuff to break on them.
