I agree with all of what u said and i hope you're right about the 370Z, its a beautiful F'n car. I learned to drive a manual in a 240 and loved the Z ever since. if it ages well or not i'm keeping mine.:happydance:

I know right, I went on a date with this girl a couple weeks ago and when I picked her up, she saw the 370Z book on my floor and asked if I was getting a new car. I said eventually, and she responded "what is this one a 2005?"

no lie, I did have the 99 upgrades on it as well

I think the paint will fall off...

It will age just the same as every other revving mass of metal, plastic & rubber.

Personally, I think a 300Z (as beautiful as it is) looks dated. I think the 350Z looks slightly less so. In time the 370Z will follow suit and I will no doubt be looking in a new direction. I mean hey, when I see an F40 (as awesome as it is) I can't help but chuckle a little at the terribly dated Radio Shack dash & Halogen headlights.

When I see a regular 350z, it looks dated. If the 350 is modded some (suspension, wheel, sometimes a light kit) it look pretty nice still. I saw a 350z lowered, wheel upgrade, and a Nismo spoiler a few weeks back; it looked OUTSTANDING!! Made me do a triple take.

I think the 370z will age better than the 350 only because of the headlights/tailights and those darn wide fenders. It reall does look more like a porsche, but with a Nissan/Japanese spin on it. The shortness of the body combines with those other features make it look great! Not to mention the C pillar; acutally the C pillar with those wide fenders = stunning. Lightly modded (front lip, wheels, suspension) and you have a killer.

It is like looking at a VERY nicely modded and maintained S30. W O W. Breathtaking when it rolls up with wide fenders and modded wheels and suspension. Picking up what I'm laying down?

Maybe she just doesnt believe that someone would still be driving such an old car?? I kid I kid!!!!

I dont agree that the 300 still looks new, I mean its a great car, but doesnt really stand out nor look better then a 350z.

The 350z and 370z will probably age well, b/c of their basically body shape styles that for the most part were ahead of their time.

Bottomline: If we enjoy our cars, we don't have to worry about it going outmoded.

I agree the 300zx is pretty iconic and will probably stand the test of time more than the 350Z and 370Z. But the 350Z IMHO is what revived the Z car. I think the 350 had the sleek look of the 300 with a modern touch. I also used to the think the rear end of the 350 was a bit too long from some angles, but I think its a beautiful car. I owned a 350 for 4.5 years and traded it in for the 370. I think they took the same formula as before, the 370 has the sleek look of the 350 with a now more modern touch. But no matter how you slice it the daddy will always be the 240 and that is where everything came from.

The 370 will stay looking the ballz until the 400Z comes out:tup:

I dont know if thats good or bad:icon18:

The 300ZX is an icon. It does look still to this day every part a modern car and has truely stood the test of time. That being said I don't think it looks nearly as curvacious as the 350Z and no where near as as curvy as the 370Z. It truely is an amazing vehicle. Still highly sought after even by people who weren't even born when it came out ;)

The 370Z is an outstanding Z car in both form and function and on that alone it will stand the test of time. Who knows what design ques cars ten or twenty years from now will take - the 370Z may follow those lines or cars may look like boxes by then. Regardless the 370Z has what it takes to be outstanding now and that's unlikely to change in the future.

The 300zx has definitely defied time and stayed fresh over the years.

People still attempt to buy my 1994 TT in traffic and I have the '99 taillights, but that is all for cosmetic. They never guess how old it is.

The 370z is growing on me and I think it will overshadown the 350z as long as it is reliable. The 370z is a better choice today for someone who is not quite and enthusiast, but wants a nice z car. The 300zx at this age just demands more attention than the regular person will give it so it will forever live on with the older, enthusiast crowd.

I should know as mine has 43K and I have replaced the timing belt, injectors and clutch, but it runs perfect now at stage III.
