FYI; it is normal to have a pint at 10am across the pond. I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin.

I did not want to like the 370 coming out of a 350. I wanted to buy an M3 or at the least a g37 as my first foray into adulthood. I did myself a disservice by test driving the 370 because I never made it out of the dealership. The difference was that great between the two. For me, the 370 is superior to the 350 in every way. Unfortunately the M3 will have to wait another couple of years.

Could it be that the UK car may be optimized for other types of driving other than high speed handling? Just a thought even though you said it felt no difference b/n the 350 and the 370 at lower speeds. Very interesting.

EVERYBODY - - - THIS GUY (AK) IS THE NICEST PERSON IN THE WORLD.... I woke up a couple of weeks ago, opened a letter and it contained a set of the370z.com decals. AK had sent them to me - just because he's a really nice person!!!

I haven't had time to put them on my 350z yet, but I will ...soon!

Thanks AK, you're a star!



ps - i appreciate the 135i suggestion, but no thanks!

pps - yes it had the bigger wheels and wider tyres, but they're exactly the same as on my 350z.

Thank you for you kind words! :tup:

May I suggest G37 or you're looking into something else?

Exactly my problem. almost everything about the car said 'buy me', but the high speed handling said 'leave me alone'.

Wow, were you drunk lol?

I've never been in a 350 at high speed, but every single person I've talked to or review I've read said the 370 eats thes 350 for lunch in terms of handling. Guess they were all wrong :)

Buy a Cayman S.

G37 isn't available in the UK (yet, unless it's an import), but no, I need something MORE 'seat of the pants', not less. I was hoping the 370 would be that car, but currently I'm not convinced. I'll wait and see how they develop it.

370z w/kw3s and caster/camber will get you closer to the road, and would give you better highspeed handling...

this is like the perfect time where ur avatar matches the post.... :roflpuke2:





i'm surprised you didnt like the 370z.... it should be known that you will feel every bump... it's a sports car with low profile tires.. :hello:
it's for sure not going to be the same ride as the Winnebago you got :p
interior and performance, hands down to the 370 over the 350

No - I was sober as a judge (8.30am on a Wednesday morning!)

I'm only giving my genuine personal review of one extended test drive. I may well be wrong, but it's what I genuinely think.

...If you've never driven a 350z at high speed please take the opportunity when you can - it's quite nice.

My impressions match yours with the NISMO 370z I drove. Mine was stiffer, and handled better over it when I drove one. Was not impressed. I went in expecting to be impressed though and was sad I wasn't.

Yeah - that's what I'm thinking it needs. Eibachs maybe.

Thank you - that's at least 2 people who see what I'm saying. Not that it's a poll!

If Nissan get objective customer feedback it helps them to improve, which is what they want.


nogoodname - with respect, what is the basis for your assertion?

No, I'm not Jeremy Tw@tface,

A. Because I hate him

B. Because he 'likes' Synchro Rev Match - and I think it's a lot of bollox.
