370 Z = baby Lamborghini
 
I just can't describe it in any other way. I really feel like I'm driving a baby lambo. Anyone else feel the same way?

m4a1mustang 04-23-2010 11:46 AM

No. Not at all.

Mize 04-23-2010 11:57 AM

Having driven a lambo or two (and many other nice cars), no. The Z is far more like a porsche than any of the Italian stallions.

BrianMSmith 04-23-2010 11:59 AM

Nope. Although I think it looks "ferrari" with the doors open, the red car with the gray interior.

Jason 04-23-2010 12:03 PM

:wtf2:

marcussoori 04-23-2010 12:22 PM

DjSquall, I'm in your corner! Although the looks aren't the same, there is "something" about this car...

That would be my roadster... :)

Chriz 04-23-2010 12:51 PM

OP have you driven a Lambo?

In high school I had a dream job - worked at a performance auto repair place in Venice, CA. I did tune-ups, oil changes and brakes - oh and a LOT of mopping as we has sparkling white bays to impress our well-heeled customers. During those three years I drove a couple lambos, a few ferraris, tons of porsches and bmws, etc.

Most disappointing was the Ferrari GTS 308. I knew the car from Magnum PI, but the tranny was so frickin' notchy and the thing rattled...ew.

Favorite cars I've ever driven (from back in them "olden" days - the early 80s) were a 930 TT Porsche and a BMW M1.

Anyway, the Z is nothing like the Italian sports cars IMHO. Far more German-feeling.

kenchan 04-23-2010 01:06 PM

europeans all look the same?

Agreed it's not a lambo...but I do have to say your little icon there (at a BRIEF glance) is kind of like a Ferrari California.

Mize 04-23-2010 01:23 PM

yeah, just a bit :)

fullmonty 04-23-2010 01:36 PM

Maybe if you put some lambo doors on it.... wait no not even then

blue660r01 04-23-2010 01:40 PM

Gaiz is my Murcielago a baby McLaren F1? Or maybe an F22 Raptor?

antman22 04-23-2010 01:43 PM

nope, if we had to compare the z to anything european, i think it has more of a german feel when it comes to driving. i also don't see a giant engine when i look back...just an empty hatch :)

DjSquall 04-23-2010 02:24 PM

Haha at least one person out there feels like I do!

And @ above question: No, I've never driven a lambo, but the murcielago has been my dream car ever since I was a kid. The Z is my first car.. It is really the rear window that gives me that feeling. Well, I definitely got a good start towards realizing my dream. Maybe some day I will be one of those lucky few to own one... If not, I will have to rent it. I have to at least get a small taste of the childhood dream!!!

Vegitto-kun 04-23-2010 02:54 PM

Pfff murcielago.

pussy

go for the reventon :shakes head:

j.arnaldo 04-24-2010 02:40 PM

In few words: The Z is the best bang for the buck in its category! THE best-selling Sports car of all time in teh U.S.!!!

rj45 04-24-2010 03:25 PM

In the limited time I've had the car, one of my favorite things about the 370 is how solid/tight it is. In that respect, it feels similar to a fine European car. IMO, a sense of quality goes a long way towards long term enjoyment. If a car doesn't feel like it's well built, it looses some of its appeal after a while.

Chan Chee Hoe 04-24-2010 09:28 PM

I think it look more like a 'poor man's 911 turbo'.

SophiaZ 04-24-2010 10:00 PM

People always ask me if it's a Porshe. I say "Look at the front emblem...." I call it my imitation Porshe hahaha and I'm fine with that.

bigdog1250 04-24-2010 10:14 PM

Yea not sure how its lambo like at all... but definitely Porsche!

bigdog1250 04-24-2010 10:16 PM

Kinda sounds like one here:
YouTube - Jr's Nismo Exhaust clip #1

Probably one of the best sounding Z's on the net. Can anyone else top this one? More Z porn please!

Especially looking it from the back.

blue660r01 04-24-2010 11:21 PM

I seriously dont understand how anyone thinks the Z resembles a Porsche. Back in the day in my 350z I had a guy ask me if it was a Porsche and I was like :ugh:

marcussoori 04-24-2010 11:32 PM

DjSquall, I think the similarities are in the following areas, let me know if you agree:

1) Center console design.
2) Paddle shifters on auto 370Z.
3) Colored door inserts on 370Z Touring and general inside door design.
4) Small driver/passenger windows gives a sleek look.
5) Low front/high back design.
6) Unique split five-spoke wheel design.

The blind spots are Lambo like.

Jason 04-26-2010 10:30 AM

the three black tabs that hold up the front undertray are very lambo-like.

Lambo Z = Zamborghini

Z Porsche = Zorsche

Zorsche has a nice ring to it.
