E90 M3 to 370Z picking it up Friday

Oh. Idk why I thought I read it was a 2013.

Stock from Nissan would be an 18 row cooler like mine. But 25 is definitely preferable in Arizona, Nevada, and Texas.

And yes, the Z is definitely grippier than the M3. The rear track is wider, the center of gravity is lower, and there's less total weight. If you think the Z is grippy now, drop it on Swifts and add a set of Michelin Super Sports - you'll feel like you're glued to the road.

Welcome nice M3, and new ride!

Funny how nice the 370z is. I has a 1993 NSX prior, and I get **** now and then for getting rid of it and picking up my 2011 Z (touring+sport). It doesnt have that "exotic" bling the NSX had, but I was in the same boat where I wouldn't drive it hard because fixing it was so expensive, couldnt take it out in rainy days to due motor placement and heavy down pour blowing out coil packs, etc. (dont ask what I paid for clutch work). I like the Z because its a scalpel to drive, comfortable and reliable. My wife's car was a 2009 lexus IS250, and she even agrees the seats in the Z are far and away better then the ones in the lexus

Another 100hp is what this car needs, and a better exhaust note. It sounds exactly like a Frontier pickup when I floor it. I like it though, good car.
