Didn't I see somewhere the 300Z on an all time list?

Anyway, the 370 is at least a better if not best Z

Ya gotta love the handling

What was 350's weight vs our Z? Anyone know?

Depends on the year, the 370z is lighter than certain 350z years.
Honestly, between the two cars a lot has changed. Basically Nissan went back and did a ground up design with taking its knowledge from the 350z and using some of it to inspire the 370z design.

For the average person they will just say, oh its a refresh but really it is a solid overall between the two cars. Both of which were fantastic and great in their own ways.

Yep it's definitely a total overhaul. The 370 in just about every way is an improvement over the 350.

Pretty much everything

kenchan · 05-03-2011, 02:03 PM

G2Z- dont worry. i dont know or care much about the 350Z either.

that platform was best in the G35C's form.

it just evolved for the better, but they didnt make anything special

Which was never the intent. When the 2009's came out they pretty much dominated the niche of new, affordable performance. Other manufacturers have lately managed to challenge for that position hence many threads on the 5.0 and calling for a 370Z refresh.

agreed, but i agree with other poster that this car is basically a 2nd gen 350. it improved on the 350, but it didnt do anything revolutionary. think 1st gen miata to 2nd gen, not 2nd gen mr2 to 3rd gen mr2

FromG2Z · 05-03-2011, 02:23 PM

ok, that commercial ROCKED. I've never seen that one. Was that ever aired here??? what the..... I must have been living under a rock.

But yes, I knew that it was a complete overhaul, but I just wanted to educate the masses of folks that didn't know about our new Z's at that meet. I know more now of what to say at the next meet

Kingbaby · 05-03-2011, 02:37 PM

He's saying they didn't take any features from the 350z except the Z part. Op you have to do your research if your gonna be a z driver. Seriously!

Do you know what a 240z is?

Figure that out and it all falls into place.

I was gonna defend the 03-08 z but nah! I see you lost drivers on the road lol...

SeattleLion · 05-03-2011, 03:15 PM

I went shopping in '06 and looked at the 350. From the driver's perspective there was almost no rear view at all. Also the cockpit wasn't very um...special.

As mentioned, the 370 is lighter, more powerful, faster, shorter, and wider.The interior is way better, the sat nav is improved, better sound, etc.

Being asked the question isn't unfair or dumb. Nissan has managed to screw up Z's over the years too. The 240Z was amazing. The 280 wasn't bad, but not particularly better. Then until the 350 Nissan totally dropped the ball. I am very grateful that the evolution is now going the right way. The 350 restored the Z to its rightful place as a reasonably priced true sports car (as opposed to the Mitsubishi Eclipse, which looks cool but isn't a true sports car). The 370 is truly evolutionary. It isn't a completely new car from the 350. It is an amazing refinement.
