I saw a 370Z in Anoka today -- it was a black base model but had a rear fog light wired to the brake lights. It was my first 370 sighting in Minnesota.

msbc- nono, it was more of a reference in power/sedan/class thing. i dont plan on buying a Q50 at all.

i dont know why it comes with 19" hubcaps, mr.gurney. oh those are "sport" wheels?! lol

i completely agree.

honestly infiniti was a one hit wonder with the G35C.

I was actually surprised that the 6MT was now standard in the lower models. Used to be a 5MT in the lower models and the 6MT was only available in the highest EX-L. I'm glad to see the 6 speed, but <200 hp is unbearable (excluding of course the Juke Nismo

). The EX-L is a considerable jump in power and torque. We would have considered one if it didn't cost more than we paid for the Z. My wife, being completely awesome, said we would buy a second Z before we did that

we can't afford the maintenance on another Z :'(

lol @ buying 2nd Z

that is awesome. but yah, if these Z's break they aren't cheap to fix.

no coupes for me for now, i like where my G and Z are. im thinking about swapping wheels on my G once more before im done.

but that accord coupe looks pretty decent. it has an old fart solara kinda butt which i dont like.

i am looking to replace the AT Fit that my wife uses maybe next year. she carries a lot of computers so the accord won't work for her anyway. not sure wat im going to get yet. it wont be a prius for sure. lol

I think the G35C was one of the most beautiful cars Nissan ever produced. Maybe that is why I was so disappointed with my G37S coupe. To me, a G35 body with the G37 drivetrain and interior would have been the perfect car for me.

I would dare say the same about the 350Z vs. the 370Z. I really like the styling of the 350Z. Someone here in Houston has a 350Z with a Nismo bumper conversion. That car is stunning.

kenchan · 08-14-2013, 08:13 PM

mr.gurney - actually i like the G35C's drivetrain as it is not very refined. the engine and tranny has a very mechanical almost rough feel which gives the car soul. that is where the 370Z kind of lacks life for me when i drove it the first time along with the overall dynamics. oddly, the 370Z feels more grown up almost.

the thing i'd like to change on my G35C is the dash. it is just not a very finished appearance. for me though, it's fine as im not really into luxury cars.

Vegitto-kun · 08-14-2013, 08:50 PM
