To answer your question OP... The 370Z has serious issues with cooling, and another area where the 350Z excels (ever so slightly) is in fuel tank design. If I were you, I'd buy a gently used 07-08 350Z and save the rest for maintenance.
No offense taken, but the Z is no v8 musclecar, the Z is a non-aspirated v6, for a v6 the power is pretty up there. But I think the OP should buy an 07 350z or G35. I actually would go G35 due to insurance being lower and the 07 G being a rare car. Don't pay over 21k and less than 30k miles. Then the other 15 or so k you have saved... I would use half to mod and save half for something else. But wait a year before you mod. Drive the car "SAFELY" and learn tthe cars limits under the legal conditions. Then customize based on your needs and weaknesses.
