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.

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...

edit: I owned a 2005 350z and I now own the 09 370z and the 350z was a toy in comparison. It had the power and speed of a Corolla with nice handling. The 370z is a sports car, the 350z is a nice looking Corolla.

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.

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.

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.

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