370z?

ChadP777 · 06-05-2012, 09:20 PM

I was considering getting the 370z and although I would love to fit 4-5 people in a car. I would love a truely fast sports car. I sortof narrowed the cars I wanted into 3: 370z, mustang, or the infiniti g37. Tell me what yall think about the 370z. Thanks!

well we are obviously somewhat biased but the only one of the 3 you list I'd consider is the z. You just can't beat the handling of this car for anywhere near the price.

If you want to seat people, get the G, if you want a sports car get the Z. If you want a mustang.... get a Z first then trade it in for one. I hear thats what people do around here.

nah I went the other way. If you want to go through your douchebag-ricer sensitive-street-torretto-tuna-muscle-loud-obnoxious-street racer phase, get the mustang. (i'm generalizing of course, but around here, thats what mustang drivers are...) I agree with the handling statement. fast and quick are 2 very different things, and the 370 is the latter because of how deceptively smooth it is. It cant really be explained but driving this after driving the mustang I would never go back, this car is really more refined. Not to prattle on but you will want the Z after trying it, it like comparing a DONZI to an outrigger. Trust...

idk a lot about cars but ive heard the mustang kicks *** and the infiniti is close to the 370z but the 370z is the most attractive to my eye but..how much slower is the infiniti because of the backseats?

minimal/negligible difference. handling will be slightly compromised from having softer springs and slightly more weight in the g

ChadP777 · 06-05-2012, 10:45 PM

I guess my question is if the Nissan 370z is worth giving up the backseats

Ackrite · 06-05-2012, 10:47 PM

I would go with the G. There's no doubt you will love the Z, but it seems like you will soon regret or tire of it when you need the backseat or trunk after a few times.

To me it was, but I'm lucky enough to have a dad that has too many crew cab trucks that rarely get used. Like this weekend for instance, I'm going to vegas (~3.5 hour drive from SoCal) and I'm gonna borrow one of his silverados to fit everybody. If I didn't have the option to borrow I would've bought a G37 or IS350, which were the two other vehicles I was looking at before I bought the Z.

You bring up a great point. If I wanna go with a group of people it would be impossible so it's not very practical. I'm trying to find a car closer to 35k though. Thanks for bringing me back to earth lol and congrats on goin to Vegas YEAH BUDDY.

All depends on what you mean by "handling"

What about the Nissan Altima Coupe is that any good? I hear the CVT's transmissions suck because they accelerate real slow once you get fast. idk how to drive manual now but would manual be good?
