For someone who doesn't own a 370Z to join a internet forum established specifically for 370Z enthusiasts and give everyone his/her learned opinion about what's wrong with the vehicle isn't offensive; just rather dumb. Maybe I should go join a forum dedicated to the C6 Corvette because I've thought about buying one "sometime"...I can then tell them everything I don't like about the car...I love the engine/drivetrain; even in the base model but I really hate OnStar, the 'Vette's crappy seats and it's vacuum tube based navigation system...I'm sure they would be real receptive over there. :) |
Rober that's awesome and coming from an intelligent person not from a Boy!

Im sorry if I came up a lil aggressive but if the OP comes in here and as his first post he says "test drove the Z...didnt feel that fast at all...Cayman S is awesomezzz"...then he should buy a cayman S instead of ranting about how the Z was a letdown at actual Z owners or how awesome a discontinued s2000 felt or how great a used 45k car felt.. |

welp looks like no 370z for me, my car came in, went to drive it, awesome car , 19 miles on her. walk in to work out #'s.
i had already got a quote from danny at fontana nissan for 31,419 +ttl for the car (base pearl white with sport package, 6spd, splash guards, floor and trunk mats ). he was great to deal with, i guess the owner/gm didn't want the sale as they tried to make up the diff back in my trade-in. here is the nada Base Price $15,050 $16,250 $17,225 $20,150 ------------ rough -- average-- clean--- retail now the offers i've gotten in trade in from mitsubishi are 16.9 and lexus offered me 17k for my ms3 i waited to long and all the silver evo's are gone now :( and i decided i didn't want to drive an automatic didn't care about the apr as i was going to finance thru my credit union for 4.98% only the bottom line prices mattered. well they offered me 12.5k lol i said you guys are giving me trade-in on a regular mazda3 hatchback, they came back with 13.5k and that was the highest they could go. if they gave me anywhere near what the other dealers were offering, i would have driven home in her. i guess i can try to private party sell my car, but by then it will be gone as i waited about 3 mos for this one to arrive. good luck to everyone else looking. to bad i couldn't get one :\ |

M3 engine, 330 hp / 262 lb (huge low end), 3200 lb and 50/50 weight, a real mechanical M3 LSD. Check out this comparo by Brits, funny as hell: BMW Z4 M Coupe vs Porsche Cayman S - Feeling the burn - Top Gear I bought mine two days ago. If the "feel" is what you are after and you want a rwd, this might be for you. No way it will beat Z on the track, except on the drag strip, but fun factor bests all the other cars I have driven. It feels like a beast, faster than the Mazda and it has the M3 engine so don't worry about low end, lol. In sport mode and traction control off, it demands lots of driver input. If Z is the real life hero, M coupe is a comic book hero. No match for the real thing, but a lot more fun. Although, some mags listed 4.4 to 60 in the M Roadster, coups a bit slower. Oh, and it comes with concierge button - lol. Just don't expect the same fuel efficiency as the Z |

It is a super clean design which has plenty of curves, looks substantial, aggressive, and has aged very well. I own an S2000 now and used to have a 350z Roadster. Never driven a 370z yet so cant compare, but S2000 is a much funner car than my 350 was. When I get in my S2k I feel like i "put it on" and not got in (if that makes sense to anyone). The 350 was not the same, not to say it was bad, just different. The 350 felt faster (Torque) and was way more comfortable. Really its a matter of prefrence of what you like, and from the reviews Ive read about the 370 it seems to emulate a similar connection with the driver that the s2k does, but also has the comfort/power, and thats why Im considering getting one as my next ride. Everyone also must remember S2000 is a 10 year old design with nearly half the engine size. Yet even today it hangs with he best of them. This does say alot about what kind of car it is. Santent's statement is just as "boy racer" as saying a sup'd up econobox = sports car |

Just my 2 cents. |
I just sold my 400whp Mazdaspeed3 GT and bought a 370z. The sports car feel of of the 370z caught me by surprise. Low, raked windshield, big wing (nismo), rear wheel wag with tcs off, but by far, my mazdaspeed was way more satisfying, and fast :(

And might I ask a list of mods? 400whp sounds a lot for the MS3 unless you rebuilt the motor... |
