You drive a Chrysler product, and you got qualms about a Nissan product????

That's like asking if Paris Hilton's chance of having STD's are lower than mother Theresa's. :rofl2:

a bit harsh man, the SRT isnt a terrible entry level tuner, the guy is interested in our car, lets encourage him and prod him in the right direction. Besides, he never said his car was better than a 370.

Agree with the previous 2 posters.. The last thing we need is to turn this forum into another MY350Z afterschool hangout..:shakes head:

I had an SRT4 before the 370Z. Same s/n on srtforums, far from stock almost every bolt-on with the S20G turbo kit. Anyways, I'm more than happy with the Z. But then again I was looking for something a little more civil than the SRT4 I had.

Complaints: lack of space, blind spots take some getting used to, aftermarket parts cost more in comparison to SRT4 parts.

Lack of space is not really a big concern for me since no one wanted to ride in the SRT4 anyways (too stiff, vibrated too much, too loud).

No compliants here.

However, a few things to keep in mind that come up often:

~No oil cooler (only a problem if you plan on tracking; easily fixed by adding an aftermarket)
~Road noise (easily fixed by turning the radio up)
~Engine/Transmission noise (some people complain about how loud the motor is, I personally love it - sounds mean)
~1st-2nd gear shifting in the manual is rough/loud (some have this problem, others dont - after a few weeks its not even noticable anymore)

This is just my :twocents:

The 370's flywheel is a bit heavy and leaves no room for error when shifting, you usually gotta match the RPM's +/- 200 for a smooth shift, which can be a chore for the less experienced non Sport pack driver. The tranny is a bit clunky and loud. Only thing ive noticed. Its a huge upgrade from your neon, I say go for it!

I have no idea what cars everyone else is driving. I've never driven in a car that shifts like my 370Z. Its tight and responsive - short shift and positive engagement. Jerkyness is nothing to do with the car and everything to do with the driver.

coming from someone in a sport, which does all the work for you. Go figure. Its not hard to shift smoothly, but as stated before, takes practice.
