Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System Source: HOME Hmmm that's a good question. I think you have to opt for sport package to get the VLSD. But at the same, one paying 34K for a Touring model should expect a LSD in their sport coupe, right? I'll send the question to "proper authority" and find an answer.

In the first full redesign of the iconic Nissan Z since its re-introduction as a 2003 model, nearly every piece and component has been rethought or redesigned - shorter wheelbase, greater use of lightweight body materials, new engine with more horsepower and improved fuel economy, a new 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, a world's first synchronized downshift rev matching system for the manual transmission, new high quality driver-centric interior and new available technology features.
But to get the full measure of the new model, now designated the Nissan 370Z, one need look no farther than the subtle upswept line of the new rear quarter window. Quintessentially Z, the window harkens back to the original 1970 240Z - a car that revolutionized the sports car world with its unique combination of performance, style and, especially, value. The new 370Z solidifies the Z's position as one of the most desirable sports cars on the planet - at an affordable price - bringing true sports car performance to everyone. "The fresh character of the 2009 Nissan 370Z is immediately apparent in the crisp new exterior design, which is sportier yet still immensely identifiable as a Nissan Z," said Al Castignetti, vice president, Sales, Nissan Division, Nissan North America, Inc. "One usually thinks of evolution as being linear. The new 370Z's 'super evolution' builds on the best features of both the first and last generations Z-cars - respectful but not retro, simple yet sophisticated, and 110 percent pure Z." Solidifying the strengths of its immediate predecessor, the new 370Z was conceived as an "Everyday Sports Car," targeting segment-leading performance and a base MSRP of around $30,000 (final performance figures and pricing to be available at a later date). "The new 370Z lives in the sweet spot of performance, style and value, a position that Nissan invented with the original Z. It's an authentic sports car that you don't have to make sacrifices to own - or drive everyday," said Castignetti. The new 2009 Nissan 370Z Coupe model is scheduled to go on sale in North America in January 2009, followed by a new 370Z Roadster for the 2010 model year. |

No doubt the 370Z is the best value in today's market. Hopefully Nissan will keep it going. An improvement they could make would be seats that are just a little wider. Those Nissan designers must have very small butts.

can't complain about those specs at all. although, i'd second the fact the vehicle is a bit heavy at 46/54 weight ratio and 332 ponies. but that definitely isn't a complain.

2010 specs vs 2009 specs
Greetings,
thank you so much for the specs in pdf. I am thankful to have just purchased a 2010 coupe and wonder if there are any differences in the mechanical specs such as final drive ratios or automatic/manual gear ratios or ? thanx in advance, cheers, Bill |

Willie,
When I bought my 2009 the sales manager said the only diff. between 2009 and 2010 was a little more memory in the navigation system, nav. weather added for 2010 and yellow was no longer available for 2010 models. Last edited by antbear; 09-21-2011 at 09:44 AM. |

I dont know, everybody says that. I got Honda S2000 now, perfect inside for me. But 370z is MASSIVE, I hardly see anything through windscreen :
So, how fat you should be to say 370z is small, I was lost in it
