Nissan 370Z Forum  

If you had to do it over again, would you still buy the 370z??

I would get a 370 vert the 2nd time around and dress it up nicely as well. Low slung, make it loud, wide wheels, and in either PG or black

I would get another one without hesitation.
It's a very enjoyable, moddable car.
I raise the hood every weekend and just stare at the engine, admiring it's lovely lines and compactness.
Fun to drive, fun to mod, sexy to look at too.
Win win win.

Now I want a red one, didn't get a black one I've had a black car already it's lots of work.

No doubt i would! Even the amount of time i waited for mine to arrive after ordering her, Nissan was dead on point with the production time of my order and delivery! Plus, mods, the JDM market is the best!

Yes, I would buy the Z again, in fact the same model trim & color again. When looking I really liked the style of the 370z & once I got inside I fell in love with the cockpit & the rawness (some say it's noisy) of the car. While not the fastest or most powerful car, I was looking for a car that I liked the styling, feel & handling. I spend 90% of my miles in the canyons as the Z is not my daily driver.

If you are looking for straight-line speed & power, or cargo capacity (more than 2 people & 1 large suitcase) you might be a little disappointed, but if it's style & feel your looking for, the 370z should keep you smiling for a long time.

YMMV

Anyone else do a double take on this? Where did Nick get a 4 cyl Z from?!?!?

But yes, I would in a heart beat. Actually I almost got t-boned the other night and first thing I thought about was what color would I get the Z in this 2nd time around? lol. I LOVE my PW but so hard to keep clean. But I would probaly go PW again and I would probably try to stay in a 2012 or older just because the new front DRL's still havent impressed me.

I think he's talking about his challenger. I think the engine shuts off cylinders when it doesn't need it.

That's the way I read it. But looking at the comment again, I suppose it could go either way. If I cared enough, I'd Google it.

Yes! Most likely go the Nismo route, but the recent price increase is uncalled for!

would definitely do it over again and already am although they no longer make monterey blue anymore i still like the midnight blue that replaced it and after test driving one of the 13's i was impressed with the way the clutch seemed smoother and the new shocks made it that much more comfortable so i am now awaiting my new Z's delivery at the end of july with much anxiety
