Best Year for the 370Z

axmea? · 07-04-2020, 04:50 PM

Year over year there has been very minimal mechanical changes. In 2012 (which I have - Sport Touring) they added cooling to help but that was not significant. It still ran hot so I changed to a 34 row. 2015 is when Nissan offered the Nismo Tech and Nismo Spec plus the updated body kit (a kit that I liked and switched to) was more aggressive than the original was pretty good. This was a pretty good release but I like the 2018 Nismo better with everything in it including the Exedy clutch (except for pricing $$$). So for me, a '12 Sport Touring if non-Nismo and the '18 Nismo with everything on it for the Nismo. If you want vert, any year from '12 and after. Two things that I think was a miss for Nissan is with their lame CSC and general lack of power as the car got older. Would have been a good move to add a TT for the Nismo in '16.

Why 12 and after for the verts? I'm feeling bummed out. I have a 10.
