370Z v. 300ZX

11Thumper · 09-22-2011, 03:08 PM

Yeah, the author was a little biased towards his 300ZX. It was (and still is) without doubt a great car. My buddy had the turbo version (with a built motor and 500+ whp) and he loved it (until his wife found out about his 100mph+ speeding ticket and ride in the back of a patrol car lol). I let him drive my 370Z just to see what he would think. Naturally he wasn't in love with the 7AT but he didn't think it was a bad transmission. Overall he liked it much better than his 300ZX and said the choice would be easy to buy the 370Z.

You have to remember the 300ZX is 21 years old. Comparing it to a new Z isn't exactly fair and I think the 300ZX does a fine job holding its own.

i dont think its unfair. its comparing different generations of the Z car. the 370z SHOULD be better than an NA 300zx in all aspects. And a TT with breather mods should be quicker in a straight line, but the 370z would still probably out handle it (assuming they both had stock suspension)
