What can i expect from this car as far as maintaining it? What should be the first few things i change on it? ex. spoiler....body kit....exhaust..

why toss an eclipse into the mix? :icon14: it's like will have cheeze burger or double burger or broccoli? wtf~

No offense to the OP, but once a while we see a new member pop up and say "I am looking for either a Z or a (whatever brand) and what do you guys think.... blah blah blah....... I love the Z so much have to marry her......", and after pages of opinions from the Z fellows all the sudden he post a pic of a NEON and say "thank you all you buddies but last night I passed by a dealership and fell in love with this beauty.... thank you...!", and then he will disappear forever.....

I hope this is not the case..... :tiphat:

Again, no offense to OP, but it's just weird to have someone asking opinions between a 13yrs old Mitsu and 2 Zs.

I can understand tossing between the 2 Zs.... but the price is still a big difference between the two...

What is the budget and the purpose(mod/DD or what???)

:tiphat:

CAD$0.02

And as far as to what I'd do first would be wheels and lower that baby.

Alright, obviously i should had posted a little more to my topic. Id like to keep it under 35k. Id love the 2012 370z Sport, which is (of course) the highest $$$ id go. The eclipse is just a side car. I didnt expect ppl to post on it. I was just stating those are the 3 cars. I would be mostly a DD with of course doing a few mods over time. I absolutely have fallen in love with the new 2013 look though. It will be a little while before i buy a car and im shopping around. The one that has caught my eye is the 370z. I dont really like the look of the pre 2010's though. Im just wondering what everyone else thinks though. It's best to get actual customer reviews instead of listening to the hype.

I used to drool over the 350, had been planning on getting one for over 3 years. Wasn't a fan of the 370 when it first came out (many people hate new models off the bat lol)

Anyways, point I'm trying to make is, I really did my research and realized how much better the 370Z was in terms of interior, look and performance and then financially it became possible so jumped on it.

Read up about the Synro Rev Match, etc

Only reason I would suggest getting the 350 is if you are trying to save some bucks and get a Z under 20K

If you are a Z fan/fanatic (doesn't sound like you are) then you'll really want the 370...its wider, more HP, more refined and resembles the 240Z (if u care lol)

Lemers 02-17-2012 08:11 PM

If you get a 350 nothing earlier than 2006 (306 hp). I'd rather get a 370 first. I think it has better style.

If you like the look of the 2013 Z then you should go for it and get it, because I did the same thing and went for something cheaper than the Z then a year later I got me the Z anyways, all I did was waste time and money, that's just my opinion tho

Polymorphic 02-17-2012 08:41 PM

I was debating a 350z or 370z too. The more research I did the more I wanted a 370z, I fell in love with the 370z after I test drove it. The 350's are cool but if you have the budget to get a 370z and you can get a good deal, I don't know why you wouldn't. I actually just made the deal for my 370z tonight lol. Let the longest month of my life begin.... As far as the eclipse goes, it really depends where you are in your life. If your credit and income aren't great yet maybe it would be wise to go with the eclipse for a short period of time.

Flushnismo 02-17-2012 08:44 PM

I've actually owned all three and I defiantly love my 370Z the most, but I do miss my eclipse sometimes... but that was a fully built car on 22 pounds of boost :icon18: There is seriously no comparison though man. Night and day between those cars and more than a decade of time.

sonic370 02-17-2012 09:23 PM

I've also owned both. the 350 had it's share of issues when it first came out.
couldn't keep the front end alignment correct. front tires wore out after 5000 miles. and mine always seemed to have some kind of rattle here and there.
but still it was a good car..

but imo when your comparing the 350 to the 370 it's not a fair fight..
nissan got the 370 right. no it's not perfect some have been known to burn oil
and it should have came with an oil cooler..

but if you want to attract attention and meet total strangers that want to play 20 questions about your 370. thats the one to get........
