This should tell you something

Bling: 370z Touring with Navigation almost feels like an Infinity. 370Z is the clear winner. I get more compliments from guys in the 370Z while the Z4 seem to be liked more by the ladies. I see many women driving Z4 (typically autos). I haven’t seen many women driving a 370Z. This is truly a manly man’s car.

Personally, I do not like the looks of the Z4, but if you are happy, then I am happy for you .

Nice write up.

I frequently deal with Z4's and have yet to see one between 30-50 MPH pull away, or challenge my Z yet. Then again many are driven by ladies with automatics.

No shake under braking unless I've warped my rotors again (at least 4 times).

I know the Z produces more, albeit rougher, power and some of the worst blind spots.

I am surprised by the (clunky) tranny being a toss up or that the Z's clutch wins.

Not at all surprised on reliability issue nor cost of repairs.

True that many Z4's are driven by women. Actually got two separate compliments about my Z from women driving Z4's in parking lots. It's nice to talk to females who enjoy cars.
