The Bel GX65 may be a little bit more built for the 370z since the display is red and it hooks up on the right side closer to the 12v connection.

Been using the V1 for years. Had it permanently mounted in my 350 but not doing that with my 370 roadster
The V1 actually has two volume adjustments. The big knob and a ring outside the big knob that you adjust for the mute volume. So you just hit the big knob once and it is in mute. Very easy to mute and with any new hit you get two loud chirps and then the rest is at the mute level you set on the outside knob.
Never had a false positive from a cell phone tower, not in 8 years...
Oh and if anyone cares the V1 display is red also
as well as the indicator arrows which I consider invaluable for detecting where the popo are and when you pass them on the other side of the road.
And yes I have run into a few layered speed traps where one cop was just sitting out there in plain sight running his radar full blast, and then 1/4 mile away the real trap was hidden behind a large sign with 3 cops working it. Nice to have the radar signal counter and arrows in that case...
All that being said the radar detector is just a tool, use the tool that works best for you...
