I was at a Z meet and CTZN showed up with his new 370Z and was gracious enough to give me a ride when we all went attacking some twisty roads. Wow, wow, wow. I love my SS but man, you cant argue with 21 years of progress.
The synchro rev match is incredibly impressive just to watch. And I couldnt even feel it when he was downshifting. the 5 years of effort Nissan put into it paid off.
The ride is fine (and we were on some BUMPY roads). In fact, the car felt more compliant then my roommates new G37S coupe.
It was not very noisy either. We were able to hold a conversation with eachother even when pebbles were pelting the wheel wells and blasting from corner to corner.

Anyone who thinks the 370Z is to hardcore needs to go buy a caddy or take a ride in my Z (with poly bushings, bilstein shocks, SS springs, and old tech suspension).

I knew I wanted one before just becuase the styling is 1000x better then the 350Z, but now that I have a taste of what it can do i just need to roll up my sleeves, buy some Ramen noodles (for 3 or 4 years) and save my pennies. scuse me, I have to start looking under the couch cushions for loose change
