what the hell..(370 vs. 350 height)

Dan Z Man · 11-29-2010, 06:19 PM

okay, i know everyone says and i guess it really is, that the 370 is lower than the 350....but every single friggin pic i look at with 350&370's in it the 350 alwayssss looks lower (i'm talking about the height of the rood, not the distance to the ground)

??? so what the heck, why is that

tjlazer · 11-29-2010, 06:33 PM

I am thinking that the 350Z has been lowered and or is running 18's and sagging/lowered.

This 350Z is clearly dropped.

Dan Z Man · 11-29-2010, 06:49 PM

yeah that one is definitely lowered..but there are plenty other pics for reference

Dreezy562 · 11-29-2010, 08:32 PM

it feels smaller inside the 370 than the 350 maybe im just huge

Anatoray · 11-29-2010, 09:35 PM

Now that's weird, because the 370's interior is much larger than the 350's due to the wider frame.

m4a1mustang · 11-29-2010, 09:55 PM

The 350 is longer, which gives it the appearance of being shorter.

Your eyes are playing tricks on you

Dan Z Man · 11-29-2010, 10:50 PM

Waiz · 11-29-2010, 10:52 PM

The 370z is wider and shorter with larger wheel openings so that's what you're seeing.

Dan Z Man · 11-29-2010, 11:45 PM

Hood height at least can be blamed in part on pedestrian safety standards.
