370z THAT much better than a 350z??

SanMarinoZ

Hey,

New to the forum and just recently visited a Nissan Dealer to test drive a new 370z (40th Anniv to be exact) and here are my thoughts.

The interior is VASTLY improved over my 2008 350z that I own. I like the clicker on the exterior door handles and other touches like auto locks, push button start, synchrorev match, etc...that my car doesn't have. It does not appear to have the heads up display like digital speedo which was a disappointment. However, having said all this I don't buy a Sports Car for gadgets, I buy it for the visceral feeling I get after I start it up and shoot down the road. Here is where I was disappointed. The torque felt about the same as my 350z, granted the dealer with me was constantly warning me not to speed so I really didn't have a chance to open her up like I wanted to. However, I really didn't come away anymore excited than when I drive my current Z and also noticed that the exhaust note seems more muted during brisk acceleration?!?!
Am I missing something here? I am curious to hear feedback from people who owned 350zs and upgraded to a 370z or who own 370zs with feedback as to how it feels when driven daily.

Thanks
