What other cars are on par with the 370z?

Redman24

The 370Z was not my dream car, but pricing and all around bang for the buck swayed me. 0-60 matched it bettered any in their price range. Owned a 99 Maxima GLE upgraded heavily. I know the potential for performance upgrades and reliability is a plus.
Actually, walked into a Ford dealership to buy the new GT or a used Boss. or Shelby. I found my Z in the used car lot. 14 Touring and all options with dealer tags in the glove box of 43k and 1,350 miles. Walked away twice and even drove home. In the end, I drove out with a 28k tag, new car warranty and more than I asked for my '03 Silverado. Reduced the price even more.
Very pleased. Mustang will have to wait.

i still stand by my opinion and say that the new 5.0 is better in every way

Red__Zed

It's definitely not better at being a two seat Nissan.

touche lol

DavidZ370

And you are definitely still wrong

I've been trying so hard to find a used S2000 for under $15,000 with under 60k miles, its impossible.

Almost all of them have 90k+ miles and the ones that are under 50k miles are going for around $20,000+

There are only 488 of them for sale in the entire USA on car guru....

the 5.0 is faster, that we all know. To say it is better in every way is debateable

The new mustang looks sweet, but not as nice as the 370z

victort

i may have been over exaggerating a little, but for the most part on the objective numbers at least, it's true. subjective matters such as looks are always a toss up. I loved the Z when it first came out, but I'm just being real and able to admit when a newer, better performance car comes out.

The new mustang kind of favors the Z some what. Way to go Ford!

I do really like the recent changes, buuuuut....

1. The GT version needs a V8 to best the Z, and it's by up to .5 sec -- no small feat, but it takes two more cylinders (and a LOT more torque) to accomplish it, so, well, it should be a little quicker... it would really suck if it wasn't.

2. The base price for the 5.0 is pretty close to the Z, and a nicely equipped one is in the low to mid 40K range... that's not really a bang-for-buck bargain (except in theory; i.e., if you feel strongly that V8 > V6), although it is a reasonable car to consider for cross shopping if you aren't a bit leery of Fords... and why would you be...? They do make fine trucks

Anyway, I certainly wouldn't turn one down, but I still prefer the Z. We'll have to see what the Z35 can do to impress.
