I never spent 1 second trying to like the car. I never felt like anything needed changed.

For a car that was completely redesigned, I certainly don't think the 370 is good as it could be, or should be. Then again, nissan is trying to make the car as marketable as possible and at that I think they did a good job. Although, in hindsight, I would seriously reconsider getting rid of a perfectly good 350 for a 370.
I've had that feeling before... I remember going from my first gen rx7 to second gen... it was a better car, but i was just USED TO the old one... give it time - what you're describing is more related to what you are used to... you might even want to go out and drive some radically different feeling cars like a corvette, 911, etc... will help you put it all in perspective

At the end of the day, remember that a bone stock 370 gets around a typical track many seconds faster than a bone stock 350. It IS a better performing car whether it feels that way to you or not.
