350Z vs 370Z highlights?!?!?!

Revolutionary implies a game changer. No car is revolutionary, imo. Nothing really is. The 350Z simply evolved into something great, and that was the 370Z. Natural progression for any car,

Pre-production 370Zs weighed a little less, but then additional safety equipment was added to the final product which added weight.

Anyways, all 07-08 350Zs (also 09 Convertibles) had the new VQ35HR motor, which is essentially the motor our VQ37HR is based on - just with less displacement and a few minor internal differences. Power differences between 350Zs were: 287HP > 300HP > 306HP. So our 370Z has anywhere between 26-45HP more. 370Zs also have a carbon fiber driveshaft, which reduces unsprung weight considerably for much better acceleration.

Then you simply look at the interiors - the 350Zs best interior with navi still looks like it was made from a bin of plastics used to make legos. Where as the 370Zs best interior looks and feels absolutely wonderful all around. Headlights, taillights, every single body panel, suspension, etc. are all different - the cars share practically nothing expect for the 6-speed transmission.
Very informative post for you counterparts to read and take in!

You left out the porkey factor the 370z has!

Once upon a time, the 350Z was pretty awesome, and it got more and more awesomer until the 2008, which was the most awesomest 350Z ever.

Then, it got 20 more of whatever the 350Z had 350 of, and it was the 370Z, which is even MORE awesomer.

The end.

Seriously, as an owner of both and a fan of the car, the 370 chassis is still the FM platform like the 350Z was. As was mentioned, the chassis is shorter, wider, lighter, stiffer... The 370Z is improved in almost every way.

I honestly didn't believe it would be that great. I got in my 350Z (not worn out or anything, just 15K miles!) and drove it to the dealer to test out a 370 thinking it would feel about the same but just look better.

It's not a night-and-day difference, but the turn-in is sharper, the car feels much more precise, the whole experience is just better in terms of a "sports car feel."

Anyway, due to it being the same shared platform I don't know if I'd say it's a whole different car but it's certainly different enough where it counts.

nicely put. I should pass this on to anyone thinking about buying a 370.... lol

Yet another good point I neet to take note of.

Agreed.
