350z or 370z

Z34drifty · 01-27-2009, 01:40 AM

I have heard all the complaints about the 370z.
But it has somethings I would like to have in the 350z.
The thing would probably be the interior quality.
So basically I like both cars but the cluster gauges with the speed I would like.
I think the clock has no point to be there.

What should I do keep my 350z or trade it in for a 370z?

Note= I have a 07 touring Z
Should I wait a year or two till they fix these problems?

Everyone is going to have their opinion, but only you will know what decision to make so just go test drive one.

My opinion (based on the complains thread) is get the 370z. The owners are saying that they still love the car. There are some replies that say the love it more than the 350z even with the minor complaints.

Do it!

Depends on what is more important to you in a sports car. A digital speedo vs. a lighter car with more horsepower, better handling, better transmissions, better interior, and more aggressive look.

You be the judge.

Is your 350 paid off?

Get the 370. I've been pretty vocal with my gripes, but they're all minor. I don't regret getting the 370 one bit.

^^ Get a manual tranny or get a Mustang!!!!!......lol

Z34drifty · 01-28-2009, 12:24 AM

I want to try the new auto.
No Mustangs it's Z or nothing!
The manual sounds like fun but too lazy to do the shifting my self.

There is nothing wrong with getting the 7AT no matter what anyone says...get what you want.

It's also very responsive with the paddle shifters & the down shifts too.

haha There's the car I wanted in your picture.

IMHO, the upgrade from a 07 to a 09 isn't worth it. The Interior quality isn't that much better over a 350Z. It is improved but not drastically to the point where it's worth it. If you had the older 350Z with the first interior and older DE engine then yes I would say upgrade.

370z is a heavier car (due to safety requirements over the 350Z, comparing same model base 350z vs base 370z), slightly better handling, or worse than a NISMO 350Z (lower slalom times), only dynos 10-15 more hp and less torque than a HR 350Z and IMHO, the looks are subjective and to me it isn't that good looking.

He doesn't have a NISMO, his touring model is heavy as hell (I know, I've got one, about 3400 lbs), the handling is much better on the 19's and your dyno figures seem to be off unless you are comparing to a NISMO (claimed 313 hp vs 332) that, once again, he doesn't have. Plus the NISMO actually costs quite a bit more than the new 370Z in comparable trim.
