I had a friend with a 350, and I have driven several 370's. The 350 had some dumb bar in the trunk. It looked like the interior was made out of left-over GM Avalanch body-kit parts, and it creaked horridly. It was driven by a college girl only on nice paved roads and had about 60K miles on it.

The 370 I drove looks like someone at Nissan subverted a shipment of interior components to BMW, it rides like a chunk of billet, had no rattles at all, and had enough thrust that coming from a 350Z with full bolt-ons, you would still feel an upgrade. Stock/Stock there is no comparison.

The only things I didn't like are the crappy clutch and numb steering feel. Just didn't have much feed-back from either of those devices compared to my Trans Am. Sorry to compare it to a TA, but that is the only other stock car I have owned with 300+hp and a 6-speed.

I don't care what people here say, I think the 40th's paint-scheme is the bomb. I love the metallic gray/red interior combo. There is no accounting for taste.

I also like the stock rims on the Z. They look great to me.
