Although I'm no longer a 370 owner, I gotta say the 370 hands down.

The 350 was meant to appease the Z fans by offering a Z car from a 6 year hiatus. Remember, the 300ZX (Z32) got too expensive when it was sold brand new. Unfortunately, the Z33 cut a lot of corners wrt to interior, using a mass produced corporate engine (VQ V6) rather than an exclusive engine VG30DETT (Z32 TT), etc. The Z32 was de facto a $60,000+ car in today's money, adjusting for inflation [1.03^20 x $35,000 = $63,000 ].

IMO the Z32 TT will always be my favorite (and ageless) Z, with the Z34 coming in second....It's too bad that many of the Z32s out there are either riced out, hammered, etc.
