I owned mine fairly close to the original release date and that car received so many looks, comments, and thumbs up it was amazing. Even well after the car had been out if I went to a small town, it would still grab that praise.

The best part was the kids who saw it. Little kids would always be stricken with the design, it reminded me of being young and seeing my first 3rd gen RX7.

I know when I hit a car show and see a 300zx, I will stop and admire the design. That sleek wedge design is gone nowadays and it strikes me everytime I see it. I can imagine the 350 doing this in 10 years as well.
The 350z will go down as one of the most beautiful cars ever made. When it came out in 03 it was such a fresh change from all the other cars out there and it brought a new revolution to the Z enthusiasts. Even today it doesnt look dated at all. While the 370 looks more raw and cutting edge, the 350 still gets looks everywhere here in so cali(now thats sayin something). And thank God Nissan made the Nismo 370 look alot better than what they did with the Nismo 350z. That thing ,while functional, looks like it was beaten with the ugly stick.
