That was enough to push him over the edge and sell his 350Z for one
350z is a truck compared to the new 370 Nismo. I know as I have a 350z too. I picked up a new 370 Nismo for $36k. It's far more fun and lots more car for the $ than the Baby Bimmer. I got the BMW up to around 100 mph and took some very fast turns during my 20 minute test drive, Full on acceleration was OK but the car comes up short on handling side, it's a nice girls car - cute and sassy, but comes up short on true performance. It just didn't handle as well as the 370z nismo. I'd take a 135i I over 350z but not a 370z Nismo. I drove 2007 Cayman S as well but the new Nismo impressed me the most as a well focused sports car. BMW would have been second choice.
