370z is aesthetically a masterpiece

Steve never had a Mustang... he always had a red 370z. Always. Even to this day. :|

I never even had a Z. I photoshopped everything. Even when I brought it to meets... real time 3d photoshop.

In reality, I drive a Toyota Tercel.

True Story: Many years ago I was cruising down the highway one night when a caravan of 5-6 modded Toyota Tercels pass me in the left lane. I sat there in awe... I had no idea there was a Tercel club.

I drove through a wrx meet at a nearby mall last week and every head turned and watched my Z go by lol. (There were a lot of SWEET wrxs there though. its a great Colorado car.) just not as pretty

It is nice to see a thread complimenting the Z. Lately, all there have been are the regret threads...

Title should have been "Do you regret that the 370z is aesthetically a masterpiece?"

IMO, the stock 370z isn't bad, it's just not aggressive enough.

Modded, however (drop/kit/aggressive wheels) it's 9/10.

I just wish it had more power to back up such an aggressive look once modded.

Drop + Spacers and it looks perfect. The wheels are tucked too much from the factory.

370z is a timeless beautiful design definitely looks more expensive than what we paid for and I think the best looking car on the road today for under 100k.

just a bit :|

EDIT: before anyone starts, the base rear rims are 2.3mm more aggressive than the sport rims...

The side profile is the angle that really spoke to me on the Z.

Yea, FI is always an option, but I don't feel that, in today's world, we should have to drop 5k to bring the car up to where it should be (in my eyes).

I'd rather see a 3.0L TT from the factory with direct injection. It doesn't need to put out insane numbers, but it would be very nice for people who want to play with boost.

The VQ is a great engine, don't get me wrong, I just think that they need to head in a different direction rather than making incremental upgrades to the existing platform.

I agree. here's a quick pic of my old ride- I thought the drop/spacer combo with the stock sport wheels was perfect. The wheels are forged and pretty damn light, not to mention they look great. I didn't see any reason to move to a different set. Add in the lip kit and it was all done for me.

So you think a car that is $33k, a v6 and in the low 13 second quarters stock. Which is like 3/10ths or less behind the v8 competition. By nature should have been a 11.5/12.3 second car stock??? That's where it should've been???

Wow... I think you're expectations run higher than reality bruh?
