The 370Z doesn't baby.

RicerX

Mine specifically does not have Direct Adaptive Steering, which I found to be more enjoyable than the steer-by-wire version I test drove. I stuck with the electronically assisted hydraulic steering rack.

My first quick impressions with it -

The stock Dunlop run-flats SUCK. (I couldn't source a car with the Z wheels, which are basically four fronts from the 2013+ Z Rays Sport Package with staggered tire sizes - 19x10s +30 poke too much on the rear of the Q50, which is likely due to drivetrain layout to accommodate an AWD option) The first thing I'm doing is at least swapping some S04s onto the stock wheels, or just finding four sport package fronts from one of you guys here in the classifieds and going that route.

The 7AT is a lot of fun for this car, especially when Sport mode is selected and you use the paddles. I can see why the argument continues on this forum with the Z auto vs manual guys.

This car is big.

I miss my Z.

BUT HOLY CRAP I have a huge trunk, two cupholders in the center console, a SUNROOF (!)... the door handle is motion sensitive for unlock commands (you simply reach behind like you're going to open the door and it unlocks without you pushing any buttons or anything - just the gesture itself does it - this can be adjusted inside the car on the InTouch display if you'd rather use the buttons).

This car is tail happy, and I attribute that to the lack of LSD (unlike many previously thought, the Q50 sport package is devoid of even a viscuous limited slip), so I am going to investigate my options here. It may be as simple as the car sharing the exact same stock open diff on a base automatic Z and be going through Z1 for a Quaife.

I wish my brake calipers were red. That would look sick on the white with some blacked out chrome and blacked out wheels. I will also look into this.

The Bose Centerpoint Surround is fantastic.
