Default What's the difference

Hello everyone,

The question I have, is there a big difference in a 350 vs 370 other than the body style. I have always been a fan of the Z line, and I like both body styles but I would rather save money over have the current body style. If I get a 350 it would be a 2006-08. Are there any problems or flaws with this model.

Thanks in advance for you help.

Pretty sure the 350z has a 3.5 liter v6, compared to the 3.7 in the new ones. Styling is also much improved, IMO.

I'm sure that there are several more differences, experts need to chime in!

There have been around a billion posts on this, but anyway:
I actually own both, unlike most of the people who will respond. The 370 is a little faster, better interior, but as many people have said, the 350 actually handles better. Save the money, buy a 350, invest the rest.

Frost I like the advice and leaning in that direction. Since I have two other cars and a motorcycle. the Z will be just a toy.

There's no difference whatsoever. The supposed "body style difference" is nothing more than a visual cloaking device.

Says who?

The 370Z hands down rocks the 350Z in the handling department, by a large margin.

Not to be rude but are you sure you know what vehicle handling is? I mean you are sporting some giant SUV chrome wheels on your 350Z.

If your trying not to be rude, then try a little harder my friend... Frost here is one of (and I'm just just basing this off post count, which you will see he far surpasses anyone) the most knowledgeable people on this forum when it comes to both 350's/370's. You would do well to listen to him...

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*, shorter wheel-base... 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.

While I do respect Frost... those 350 rims ARE hideous!

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