2019 370z review

UNKNOWN_370

I agree with the review. This Z from a performance aspect is very much relevant. It's just a dinosaur in other areas... Th e Z is a great car that really needs evolutionary styling. Not revolutionary styling. A deeper trunk. And a modern infotainment center. Use the direct injection n transmission tricks for 370hp on the NA engine. Give the Nismo the red sport engine and dual clutch. Keep it right under 60k.

Who needs gismos. Just a nismo.

After driving modern cars- to me the raw experience is what makes this car special.

Wh e n I bought the car. I bought a base sport so I feel that. I think Nissan should keep a non tech model as does Porsche. You buy a minimalist Porsche. You will be missing all tech.

But it's important to have that option for the market. I hope nissan would keep a handbrake. As it keeps the fun up. But with the red sport engine. There's enough torque to drift. No a brake needed.

I can say that with re11s and my short time with ps4s 285s that i could break traction on launch and corners. Enough so i would not need the e brake for any rear sliding.

I honestly loved the raw feel. I totally respect the fact its not for 90% (or more) of the population but thats why there are less than 600 sales a year on avg in canada.

The article nails it. The rate it low because on an average joe consumer basis it totally is not a car that would fall under the pratical category.

I ended up trading in my silver Z for....another Z - a Nismo - my main regret was that I got the tech package which is severely limiting. Although if I can stream my music - I guess it's not that old but yeah, wish it had carplay or android play and I think it would be solid.
As for the 'raw' feeling of it - totally agree. when I get asked - i tell people it's balanced - not a stop light beater but definitely fun - especially when you find the right curves.

I love the Z I have. It's raw, fast enough, good looking and rare in my parts!
I knew what I was getting, a little loud and a little bumpy, no disappointments

Rusty

I've had my Z for 7 years now. And no plans on getting rid of it. I don't put that many miles on it. But when I climb behind the wheel. I feel the need for a curvy road.

I miss my 11’ base/Touring that I had began modding to my likings.
Plan to get another in the near future.
Love the tuneable chassis,huge wheel wells,high revving engine & coolness!
Plus being 6’6” & still being comfortable for long road trips was a +
Also pretty rare in SC,,,as multiple X more Camaros,stangs & goats.
Just gonna add a couple of snails, to liven’ it up a bit...though with only 314whp,would go high 12’s in 1/4 & (pending on your sack size) pin the speedo.
Not bad for 3600# including driver.
Also you know what you’re getting & not climbing into a brand new platform...that could potentially have some bugs that need working out.

I won't lie, i recently thought about trading my Z in - I have only had for like 4mo (sad I know). I think the main reason - and all my friends told me this was....going from one car to the SAME car - it won't be different enough to justify making the payments and what not. Plus I have the mod bug....soooo....my thoughts were to go with something completely different:

A Tacoma TRD Off-road - they seem to be nicely priced and optioned out - plus never had a truck and to be honest, I wouldn't mod it - to me trucks are a point A to point B type of vehicle - only thing that truck will see offroad is a dirt road or a curb haha.

The second car I considered was a Civic Type-R. Figured add a DP and a tune and it would be pushing more HP then my Z could produce going fbo (going FI isn't in the cards for my car - the cost is just too much). Plus having a backseat would be nice since the Z is my only car. The markup for it while is not what it was a year ago - I just won't pay a markup for a car, reminds me of when the Focus RS came out - it's like, 'uh, while it's a cool car - it's a Civic'

In the end, I KNEW I would regret giving up my Z for any other car. I still think about my old G35 coupe that I had over 10years ago - that was a great car and my current Z - between the wrap and 'smoked' front lights - it gets a lot of looks (especially from me haha).

Sooo...I'll probably look to add an exhaust, intake and HFC as well as a tune to get a little more HP out of it.
Like everyone here - i wish Nissan would change some things but the driving experience and the handling - they can leave it as it is. And I still find myself looking back at my car when I walk away.

The 370Z provides the classic sportscar experience (engine in front, powered wheels in rear, manual transmission in the middle) at an insane value price point. It costs a fraction of a Porsche and can run with them from the factory. I wonder whether I will be able to find another similar sports car once I've driven the wheels off this one.

VDC off, fun ON.

mishuko

Vdc off or i like to say "turn on fun mode".

Theres 2 things always on for me in the car. Seat belt and fun mode. lol

Nick370

Its literally part of my pre-flight procedure... VDC off right after start button

Rusty

Turn off the VDC and you'll die in a violet crash.



Don't need no stinkin' nannies.
