Hey, I recently test drove a base model 7AT/with paddle shifters and honestly I LOVED IT! The car handled really well and gave some excitement! I currently have a 2011 camaro 2SS/RS, Im used to have the power of a 6.2L V8, but honestly the car isn't as fun because of the visibility issue. Its so inconvenient to have a high performance car which you simply cannot drive with full confidence because of visibility issues, but with the Z, all visibility was great!

The Z is lots of fun. Honestly it has more than enough power for the public roads. But where it's most fun is its handling and grip. Sticks to any line you choose on the road. The 7AT is also very responsive and power is available anytime with a flick of the paddle.

Great visibility compared to the Camaro...means that only one school bus can fit in your blind spot.

Hahah yeah the camaro is horrible visibility! The Z's paddles gave me so much more excitement than the tap shift of the camaro, much more responsive as well!

I recently rented a 2011 Camaro while traveling and the visibility is terrible all around. As mentioned, the Z's visibility is pretty good, but not perfect. A rear backup camera really helps. I have the AT and adding the Sprint Booster units also increases the responsiveness..especiailly when using the paddles.

Good Luck!

I own a Nissan GTR but recently had a test drive of Nissan Z and found it an all-new replacement for outgoing 350z. Nissan 370z is a logical evolution of its successful predecessor having responsive and powerful V6 with a high rpm cornering grip supplying good driving position in relatively lower price.
