Weight with Touring package...
 
What's the difference in weight between the base and the touring package?

Not enough to worry about ;)

I noticed the Bose system includes 2 subwoofers. I figured this would be where most the weight would come from...

But does anyone actually know the weight difference?

The 2 subs weight maybe 10-15lbs in the case.

theDreamer 08-24-2009 04:56 PM

No more than 50 pounds according to Nissan USA, your weight is probably a bit from the subs (10 pounds) and the rest would be the added electronics for bluetooth, heated seats, etc.

Ok, thanks.

Actually, my only internet right now is my iPhone. So websites such as Nissan are not very iPhone friendly. That is why I asked the question here.

So this is off topic but I guess better than starting a new thread...
How does the Bose system sound? I currently have a 350z touring and the Bose is ok but not great.

theDreamer 08-24-2009 05:09 PM

Bose is bose, it will be the same probably as in your 350z. Might be slightly different as the car internally is different and the speakers would be an "upgrade."

Mercennarius 08-24-2009 05:29 PM

I believe the Bose in the 370Z is better then the one in the 350Z....

Jme370 08-24-2009 05:33 PM

370z bose is far better than 350z but it is still bose....

CK9887 08-24-2009 05:37 PM

Cool, I think I could do without the leather, but the real selling point of the Touring package for me is the Bose system.
I have a feeling the 4 speaker system in the Base model sounds like complete garbage, and that would bother me if I was spending $35k for a new car...

Interesting by how much tastes vary. :)

I've never been much of an audiophile, so even crappy sound-systems don't bother me. As weird as this will sound to some, the biggest selling-points of the Touring model to me are (in no order) aluminum pedals, suede[ish] door-panels, and the use of two out of three of the otherwise blank switches (I hate when car manufacturers do that).

I wish Nissan made navigation an option for the Base as well as the Touring, or perhaps included the screen on all models and made the navigation function optional (ala G37).

Sardis 08-24-2009 07:14 PM

Yes, I agree. It is nice to have a screen regardless of NAV being optioned or not.

Also the SOW system in the G is really not bad. It may not have the bass required by the bass junkies, but all in all it's a pretty good system for OEM and a major leap from the G35s.

The 370z Bose is a very minor improvement over the 350 from what I was able to ascertain

CK9887 08-24-2009 07:29 PM

I'm not a huge audiophile myself... But it just seems if you're gonna spend $30k on a new car, why not spend the extra $4-5k for the Touring model and overall have a nicer vehicle. The leather itself adds a richer, more luxurious feel.

For me, it's about the overall package from the factory. Sure you could get a much better aftermarket sound system than the Bose but I've never been too big on aftermarket parts with the exception of a few performance mods.

I like a car that has a little bit of everything from the factory.
