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

rebe945 · 03-05-2011, 06:51 PM

yes, absolutely. If they modify the body style in 2013 ,i'd consider trading it in for the new style, also.

SophiaZ · 03-05-2011, 06:53 PM

Id buy the Z again.... Oh wait.... I already did that bwahaha

Zxces50 · 03-05-2011, 07:29 PM

Absolutely do it again. DD 2yrs 24K look forward to everytime I get in. Plus track days.

sonic370 · 03-05-2011, 08:24 PM

the question i think was would i buy a 370 again.
if i understand it then my answer would be no........

only because iv'e owned a 350 and now a 370........ and loved them both......
might consider it if nissan does a complete body change and goes with a TT
or v8 which ain't happening.... since timing is everything and i plan on trading
in about 2 years we will see......... the only thing i miss is the sound of a big block v8. but it won't be no mustang or camaro....... i know there are vette haters here just saying..................

i wanted a car that looked like a gt3 race car (straight out from the factory). for the price range, only the 370z nismo matched what i wanted. i could go higher like an exige but it was too small and the porsche 911 gt3 was too pricey. i would make the same decision today because it is still the only car that would match my criteria.

Endgame · 03-05-2011, 10:26 PM

Thinking about it now... No...

I would get a Super Silver GTR.

But i plan on keeping the Z.

If you guys had to do it over again would you get the 370z again?? if not why not?

Check out my thread:
Would you buy again?

rebe945 · 03-06-2011, 09:47 AM

I just love the styling too much. You don't see them much also. Camaros and Mustangs Vetts and even porsches , I see very often. Thats what i like most, the exclusivity.

It's got even more than that. Ive read reviews online of stock dyno's of 395 whp. Also, even with all the performance upgrades (which brings the price to $40-41k), a base model Z with sport pckg (I paid $32,300) has the same 0-60 time and beats the fully loaded 5.0 GT in skidpad, slalom, 60-0 braking (even with the brembo's on the stang) and falls short only in 1/4 mile.

So to me even with all the improvements the mustang is still a straight line monster. Also, i don't like the looks at all.

So the Z outperforms the 5.0 in all categories besides 1/4 mile at $8k less. If you throw that 8 grand into a turbo or supercharger set-up it would beat the mustang in a straight line.

I do like what ford has done tho. Those will be making 450+ whp with bolt-ons. But I'd never own one.

I've heard from m4a1mustang (who went from a 370Z to a 5.0) that the handling on the mustang is almost as good as the Z, but the car is much faster overall. I do think it would be able to beat a Z around the track. Not sure how much the actual price people are paying for a fully loaded 5.0, but I see a lot of 5.0's listed on Cars.com in the $20k's and $30k's range.

LunaZ · 03-06-2011, 03:07 PM

If the circumstances were the same, yes.
Said before, but I'll say it again: Best value in a sports car for the price. I also like the fact that I don't see myself coming and going in a 370Z versus the other choices out there.

Different circumstances such as more money available to spend on a toy car, living in a climate where there was no "hibernation" or living in a townhouse and not needing a truck for Home Depot runs would change my decision making process.

Unless the track has a very long straight I highly doubt the mustang would beat a z even in the fully loaded $40k version with brembo's. And I'd hope the car is faster overall. It has 1300 cc more displacement. I'm
Happy for ford and mustang enthusiasts tho. They must be drooling over it and the value you get for a relatively low price tag. I'd get this over an SS camaro any day.

SophiaZ · 03-06-2011, 03:30 PM

^ not doggin on Mustangs even tho I have no interest except for the Gt500(?) but Id take the new SS Camaro over a 5.0 Stang any day! Im not worried about who goes faster and how, blah blah. I understand its a big factor for some people but I'll never live on a track and plus... speed limits are there for a reason... so people drive sports cars and race them on the street and end up crying later for the outcome. Point being.... I love any model Z and respect all cars but Id choose Camaro cuz he was a transformer bwahaha

ford says the mustang boss 302 would even beat the bmw m3 on the track and before the dealer markup it is selling for around $40k.
