why 370Z?

kenchan · 09-24-2009, 12:38 PM

smaller, shorter, wider, sport package, price.

how's that?

The only hardcore sports car in that list is Z. Rest are either luxury coupes or sporty cars. The question you need to ask yourself is do I want a luxury coupe, sporty car or sports car.

Power to weight ratio.

I did think about the G37 vs Z370 too. Basically the same car except the back seat. U know how sometimes u go out with your girl and there is a (not so pretty) girl friend of your girl... Well she is out of the picture on my 2 seater

FYI: U be like this

over rough surfaces

Definitely not the same car in any way. Z accelerates harder, handles way better, stops shorter, and will drive circles around a G37. I know from experience. And those other cars will get spanked also.

Yep. For me, the Vette and the 370Z are a tie, and every other sports car loses.

Despite test driving, I am still torn between 370z and others (g37, BMW 3 series, TT, CLK, Boxter etc,..). Apart from the $ differences, can you say briefly (5 or less words) why you bought 370z? Thx a bunch in advance.

I havent bought a Z yet but i am planning to, Im kind of in the same boat as you are but instead of the 3-series place a 1-series there, the Z is definetly the best bang for buck compared to the other cars, its better looking, faster in a straight line, around corners and what not. its practicality isnt really that great when compared to the BMW but with all the others its pretty much right on par. so if your looking for a daily driver that will knock your socks of from point A to point B around the 35 grand range the Z has no equal

My philosophy on this decision was "Go Big, or Go Home". I had a 2008 Honda Accord 3.5L 6MT that was pretty good. But, there's only so much one can do with a front heavy car. It was fun... but not in the 370's league.

Handling, accelleration, looks, "umph" (you know what I mean), and "prestige" (sorry, I can't think of a better word)....

That "prestige" thing can best be explained by having found new respect from domestic and import drivers. They take one look at it and listen once to the growl... and you know...

Best bang for the buck, and incredible looking car. I came from an 06 G35 coupe, and then an 08 335 and love the Z. I shopped an M3 coupe, Cayman and G37 against it, and you just can't justify the extra cash.

Make sure you don't need a back seat, even occasionally though.

It Looks Like A Porsche.

The Z caught my eye

More than the other guys

I saw the performance numbers

Not a mustang, porsche, hummer

I went to a dealer

Try to get a feeler

He didn't want to play

So long I say

I went to another one

And there I stayed

I took for a spin

It was full of win

I came back and haggled

I signed the dotted line

I drove home that night

And haven't regretted a thing.

I thought I'd never

Buy a new car

prices too high

depreciates too fast

But this car is faster

Than anything in its class
