I guess one drawback is the370z.com may be more... uh, humorous than nsxprime.com.

What is your overall goal? Just putter around town? Then it's more about your opinion. Issues with the 370Z only arise when you're pushing the car hard (high oil temperatures, brake pads + fluid needs to be upgraded), and even when they do there are simple inexpensive solutions. Otherwise it's a fine, well-built, reliable modern car with all of the features you expect standard on modern cars (ignition lock, push-button start, climate control, millions of airbags, etc.).

I've driven both and you do sit much lower in the cabin in an NSX than you do in a 370Z. The NSX is also 300 pounds lighter and has an extruded-aluminum chassis with an RMR layout compared to the 370Z's steel and FMR layout. I mean you're going from a car that was $90k when new 20 years ago to something that's $30k today.
