What's the difference

frost

Still currently owns both as well. Although the wife has taken over the 350 (hence the blingy rims).

I have 15K miles logged in my 350, 30k logged in my 350, and many track sessions logged in both. Everyone who knows me knows I've driven everything from a twin turbo gto, to a c6 corvette, to an 05 Honda RC51, and the opinion of people who didn't own a 350 means as much to me as as my wife's opinion on rim selection, which isn't a lot


Here's a post from another member I considered knowledgeable through our offline conversations, in which he said the 370 handling is "total crap"

Now U Can Hate Me - 370z v 350z

If you want to disagree, go ahead and do it. Bitching about my post count or my wife's wheels like a little cunt only suggests you have no real point to make :blows kiss:

People get jealous and will try to justify everything in their life over what anyone else has.

After getting my 370 i've never heard one positive comment from any 350 owner, they only want to talk about what they dislike about the 370.

Jealously is a stinky cologne.

Very similar to when someone posts something about a car with more HP, and all the fanboys come out in droves with "well, on a super twisty track, when the moon is 32 degrees to the north, from a roll, we can TOTALLY beat it on the track." Just like if you go over to the 350 board and they talk about how ugly the 370 is, how ridiculous the fangs are, etc. Some people just can't admit that their cars isn't the best at everything without getting their panties in a twist, and generally aren't people one should get advice from.

The only 350Z owners I've interacted with since buying my 370Z have been more than kind. I get Z waves from them around town.

KillerBee370

Likewise. I just got a couple today in fact. It's because although their car handles better than mine, I will still whup their azz around the track.

i've been over on those 350 boards when i had my 05.imo it was nothing but flame your a-- any time you would ask any question that

they didn't agree with or
they thought was beneath them. but all 350 boards may not be that way.

i think its called penis envy

VCuomo

The 350Z owns the 370Z in handling? Really? I haven't owned a 350Z, but I driven a few and, as others have said, IMHO in stock form the 370Z handles much better - better around corners, better slalom, better (less) roll, better ... well, you name it...

No offense to anyone in particular intended...

ZedZed

Sorry if I sound like a **** but ... does it really matter which one handles better?

They're both nice cars !!!

The only thing he really mentions is high speed handling, driving at 100+ the 370 feels floaty and this 350 felt stable. I don't own both and I've only driven an 03 350, and no where near 120, BUT I will admit at about 100+ the 370 doesn't exactly feel like its hugging the road.

I have no knowledge on how well the 350 really handles but if it does indeed handle better than a 370 (besides high speed highway) then that's impressive because the 370 handles pretty damn well stock.

280z/300zx

In auto-x the 350z guys can't keep up. I'm in the stock class so no mods really to talk about. All the 350z guys want a 370z and hate when I come out because they can't run the times I do. I'm no expert either and have only been doing auto-x for a year. I run the fastest typically in BS except for one guy in his STI with sticky tires.

I've driven the 350z several times as well as other Z's from different eras. Hell I own a modified 280z and 300zx. Hands down the 370z handles the best, in my opinion. I'd like to see some data that shows the 350z handles better because all the current data supports the 370z is better in the corners.

Sibze

There is no difference don't mind these people.

Its the same car!!!! 350z = 370z and 370z = 350z

daleks

The 370Z has a shorter wheelbase and is ~100lbs lighter than a late model 350Z. Those two items would definitely contribute to a comparatively twitchier feel at higher speeds (assuming similar suspension components). If your main concern is cornering at >120MPH, then you should get a big wing, lip, side skirts, etc.

It's not like Nissan just decided to put less Unicorn blood in the 370Z than it did in the 350Z. There are engineering and design trade-offs... And yes, this is coming from someone who had a 2008 350Z and now has a 2009 Nismo 370Z.

If I had bought my 350Z new I would it kept it, especially a 07 or 08 year model. But mine was used and got the fever of a new car after 8 yrs of not buying a brand new one for me.


My 370 feels find at 100+ in the highway and I have not done any suspension upgrades. It is hard to compare cars unless you are a real expert in certain areas. Also once you get used to the car it will feel different it happenned to me coming from a 350Z.

I have not problem with other Z owners! I get alone with the 350Zs, 300ZXs, 240Zs,
260Zs, 280Zs guys. If they want to be a$$holes or haters with me then that is their problem.

Anyway great percentage of my friends owns a 350 since I had a 06 350Z, so I don't have a problem.

Plus I respect the opinions of other car owners!
