Your old Z had a distinct look to it too. ;) Body mods count too. lol

Yep! We'll get another one eventually, but when we do, we're going to keep the Z too.

I can't wait to see what you do with your 370! Ours is staying NA...you know, so we can save for that next GT-R down payment! LOL

Black paint is horrid.
Tt 370 will be outperformed by a gtr.


I had the very fortuitous option to choose b/t them, my budget was 125k and after doing my research and test driving, I chose the z. A lot of it had to do w/ not being a track rat, some of it had to do w/ having more car than I am capable of handling, a huge part of it came from not trusting myself to not do something stupid while street driving.


But the only real regrets I have about the car r the black paint and the fact that the gtr is a beast. I got to test drive a pretty fair number of exotics when I showed the salesmen my bank account, and the gtr launch outshined all of them.

Glad to have u over here and gly search.

Wow baller, uhh if you don't mind me asking what do you do for a living? Seems odd that you'd want a 370 when you can afford an Italia, unless you really miss that 350 *shrug*

And there are many other cars that can outperform the GTR. There's always something better, something faster, something rarer. I just want something rewarding, that I can beat around and have fun with. I just want to DRIVE.

the Italia would be a nice weekend cruiser. But I need something for everyday use...that I can park anywhere without worrying, that I can beat around when I want to have fun. Everyday type of fun.

Yeah, that is a maze that is hard t get off of.
But w/ your experience w/ the 350, I think u are ahead of more than a few of us.

The positives will definitely be that as a daily driver or an occasional medium/long trip car will be noticeably more tolerable in the z. I love the straightforward manny tranny (no not that :rofl2:) of the z.

The driving experience of the z doent disappoint in any way that I have found yet and it does have this pretty cool forum w/ good info and members on it.

Side note- I'm not trying to trash either car, I love em both, just trying to share my $.02

And it's much appreciated. Thanks for shedding light from a different perspective. :)

Great write-up! Really interesting to get your point of view. Never heard of anybody going from a GTR to a 370 for the fun factor! Really makes me want to re-think my plans, as I was considering going to a GTR or older Gallardo 6 spd. for the bhp fix.

The only negatives I've had with my 370 is the oil heating and burning. Will have to do a consumption test next spring.

wow I'm loving your avatar picture. Love the Amuse rear. Do you have any additional pics of your car for some inspiration?

I'd keep the R35 over a Z34 anyday...
Hope you know what you're doing esp since you in Canada..
More power to you!

Ah your user name looked so familiar. I remember your Z very much. You're the reason why I'm so in love with the Volk GT-S wheels! That's why I ordered a set of formula silver GT-S wheels for the 370Z. In fact, I used to have Volk LE-37t with the 350Z.

I'm trying to find a shop within a 10 hour driving distance that would install and tune the GTM TT kit early next year. [sigh] For awhile I was thinking about giving up and sell the Z for an '02+ NSX. [shrugs]

Thanks man! Love to see your 350 as well, if you've got any pics to share.

Here's a few thumbnails. Got a bunch more on my albums profile page.
