As for my minor features that I appreciate:

1) Auto-dimming rearview mirror. This is one of my absolute favorites, having never had one before. It makes night driving so much more comfortable. Now if only the side mirrors also dimmed.

2) The preamp automatically raises/lowers the volume of your music slightly as you speed up/slow down. It's subtle but it works well most of the time. Note: This is for 2009 touring with bose and non-nav. I'm not sure if all models have this.

3) How fast the car both cools down and heats up. It's probably mostly due to the small interior space, but it works really well. It cools the cabin on a hot summer day about 3x faster than any other car I've been in.

Lol, I hate both of those features, I turn the dimmer off as soon as I get in, and the speaker thingy would be nice if it increased volume smoother vs making small jumps (yes, I am that anal about it)

#2) Not on 2013 base models. Had this feature on my 04 G35 Coupe & enjoyed it.
#3) Yes. Nissan has good A/C's on their sports cars, my above G35 was excellent as well. GTR Forum members say exactly the same thing.

With how crazy hot and humid it got in our area all the sudden, #3 is a big plus!

Which at the time superceded all interiors in it's price range. Today in 2013, this is more opinion than fact but, the Z is still the best sports car interior out there imho. In 2009, there was no argument. It was a fact.



I completely agree. When I sat in one I fell in love with the cockpit. The car just fit for me. I look at it this way. I can't see myself driving the car so even if it looks cool outside, if I don't feel for it on the inside it just doesn't work for me. I'm big on old school gauges not idiot lights & such. Then having the ability to sling the car around corners. I'm not a straight line speed guy, I live for the canyons on bikes & the Z. For me it's all about the twist & turns & being able to rail them. ;)

I really like the dancing gauges on startup too

The fact that the speedometer reads up to 180 mph.

As silly as it may sound, that was one of the requirements of my purchase.

Is the 155 MPH electronic limit easily overridden? Anyone know what the true top speed is without the limiter?

I don't believe there is an electronic limiter. My understanding is the 370Z is aerodynamically drag limited to 156 mph.

roy'sz 07-10-2013 11:15 AM

Ive done 160 with plenty of room to spare.

b15 07-10-2013 11:37 AM

I think you need a tune to eliminate it. Not sure what the Z is drag limited to

Electronically limited to 155.

My favorite minor feature is the built-in oil pre-heater.

To each his own I guess, but why would you hate the auto-dimming? It makes no difference that I have noticed during the day and it cuts down on super bright lights and saves your eyes at night.

Not on the Nismo, thank God!
