Now U Can Hate Me - 370z v 350z

gnarf · 09-03-2009, 07:50 PM

how would a base+sport 370 do, compared to the Nismo 350z. We all know the Nismo 370z is not really the performance car everyone was expecting..added weight and too stiff suspension

The NISMO 350Z skidpads at .91 to .96 and slaloms at 69 to 71 MPH (Edmunds and R&T). The 370Z skidpads at slightly higher (.97 to .99) and slaloms from 70 to almost 72. Esentially handling is virtually a tie. The NISMO 370Z fall way off to the point where I'm convinced there is sabatoge going on!

The NISMO 350Z had a higher mph than the NISMO 370z in all the tests.

Sorry, mate, I disagree on both points.

No offense, mate.

Facts are facts sir. You can't deny that. All the tests for the NISMO Z 370z have been negative towards it's handling.

I think we all have to respect this guys opinion...but in MY opinion (coming from an 04 enthusiast) the handling of my 370 sport is greatly improved. NOT like night and day or DRASTICALLY improved but def more solid, stable, and flat. More of an evolution rather then a revolution. EVERY review by independent mags agree on this point, over in the 350 forums even they agree handling is the largest reason for 'upgrading' (along with interior). I think this guys review is biased as all hell but hey thats what an online forum is all about!

Where are the 70+ mph ones for the 370z in the skidpad? I have yet to see those.

Edit. Nevermind found it myself.

That's a very, very intelligent comparison - I have the utmost respect for you. You clearly take a great deal of care before you post a reply, ensuring that only the most salient and precise facts are presented. You are a god among posters. I would be most humble if you would spare the time to elucidate*.

*look it up, tosser

I owned a 350z for 6 years...have had the 370 since march.

Chubbs my first impression on the high speed handleing was spot on with yours. It wasn't as confidence inspiring...i knew the 370z handled better...but it was not confidence inspiring..i couldn't comfortably find the cars limits on the street.

Then i had my track day...WOW...the car did a hell (i don't use that word lightly) of a lot better than the 350z....i was going FLAT out in places where i lifted with the 350z.....my mind was saying "NO....NO...NO!" and the Z was saying "GO!..GO!...GO!". I found the car to be superior to the 350z in every aspect trackwise.

Now that i know the car...street driving is more fun..and now i know how to drive my car fast...but it feels totally different.

Sorry to just elbow into this thread. But about the whole Nismo aspect.. I have to agree that the 370z Nismo IMO seems to be somewhat of a failure vs the 350z nismo AND 370z with sports package. The extra money that is spent on the nismo could pay for engine bolt ons and an upgraded suspension that would make the car far superior to the 350z nismo and 370z nismo.

Well, for one, aftermarket suspension isn't tuned. It might make it feel like it handles better, but my STOCK NISMO suspension still spanks any 350z with aftermarket suspension, coil overs, race tires, etc. It's all in the tuning. So to say a aftermarket suspension is superior is false.

Plus the NISMO parts are covered and won't land you into the "Warranty Voided" fight that you may or may not win, 2 years from now.

Yea but.. I'm talking about the 370z nismo. I kind of feel there is a difference between the relationships when comparing 350z and 350z nismo and 370z and the 370z nismo.
