Nice pic, bro!

That's what it looks like out my window too (minus the Z, which is stored in a warehouse).

I think Consumer Reports reporting is representative of the experience of the reader base of the magazine, which is heavily skewed to old farts. When an old fart buys a Z, he or she is going to...

I agree. I parked mine for the winter too. Sold my snow tires. Went to an AWD beater for the winter (Audi S4 with 150k miles). I'll miss the cosmic rush of the 370Z!

Just discovered why so many people use the OEM base wheels for their track wheels.

I was trying to estimate shipping weights & discovered the front wheels only are 21 pounds each and the rear...

Hi, I'm in the northwest hills of CT. Our roads are the last to get plowed. This year I'm going to drive a beater and park the Z for the winter. I only put 3,000 miles on it between October and...

In talking to the Tire Rack guys, they are very high on the Blizzaks for deep snow. My best-ever snow tires were Hakkapelita's, but I doubt there's a fitment for the Z, plus they were horrible on...

Well, it's hard for me to compare, since they're the only snows I've had on the Z. I use Dunlop SP Wintersport 3D tires on my Audi S4, and they are better in deep snow, but not as good on ice. But...

I totally agree. All-seasons are usually known as "No Seasons" here in New England. You make a lot of compromises otherwise. You bought the car for performance, why hamper it by putting on...

I still think the best solution for winter is to get a set of the Base wheels & mount Blizzaks. Or just park the car for the winter and drive a beater. That's what I'm doing this year (so my...

Was out price-shopping Corvettes this week. Dealer offered me $22k for my 2009 370Z with 28,000 miles (sport/touring). Locally (Northeast) they've been going for $25-26k.

Hope this helps!

I agree. First thing to do is to check tire pressures with an accurate gauge.

I had this happen to me in the Z when driving in late fall last year. The ambient temperature and the heat of...

I didn't think it was such a bad comparison. After all, on public roads it is much more about the subjective experience than who can spank whom.

There's certainly a whole lot to be said for an...

The 370Z has been the perfect car for me at this point in my life. Love it to death. But if it got totalled or stolen I probably would not buy an exact replacement. I like variety, and would...

Got a set of base wheels with BLizzaks for the winter. Works a treat. Yes, you can easily pop the rear end loose with power, but the sport package LSD is actually useful in winter driving. I'd...
