Nissan 370Z Forum  

What's the difference

The 370z rocks the 350 for handling, that is a fact that has been tested over and over again: Better slalom, better lateral G grip, taunter chassis dynamics, wider, lighter*,

Owned a 350, driven several 370s. While I loved my 350z, the 370 has been greatly improved in every aspect. Do whatever fits your budget.

I don't normally like to get involved in these heated battles but I'm bored, and I'm curious to know why Frost thinks the 350 handles better than the 370.

Not to be mean, but post count measures "post count" nothing more nothing less. That's like saying I posted the most in a drag forum, that doesn't make me a better driver...

Yes, I came from an 05 350Z, owned for 5 years, paid it off and bought the 370. Don't mistake me for some 350Z hater, I really enjoyed that car, but In stock form the difference in handling is night and day!

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:

Agreed. But it's safer for me to say it because Frost is my biatch!

This is the same situation I was in. FWIW, in the end I bought a 2007 Enthusiast.
