Why you guys buy 370z?

i just smoked a 370z with just a few mods on my 350z last night, so my question is why you guys buy a 370z when it cost 10-15K more?

I am somewhat cross-eyed; when I looked at the 370Z, it looked like a Porsche!

You remind me of kids buying the latest, greatest, biggest sports-bike. They think they can smoke anyone with a smaller, older model. However, they do not understand that the 'tool' is only as good as the operator. I bet that if you owned a 370, you could smoke a comparable, stock 350. Or, simply put, if you could clone yourself, and your clone will drive the 370, he would smoke you.

If you smoked a 370Z, more power to you. Your 350 is perhaps faster, and if it is, just be happy and proud of it.

Oh, I just read your post again. You did say that yours has some mods. You are basically, in my opinion, comparing apples and oranges. Also, no matter how fast yours could be, it is still an older car. Don't get me wrong, ours will also be old in a few years.



Now for the joke.........

I bet you that my oldest modified Porsche can smoke your 350Z. I bet yah that my brother can beat your big brother.

Just teasing you, man.


Again, cherish your 350. In the meantime, we will cherish ours.

^ right. I mean, this thread implies the only thing people care about is how fast in a straight line a car could go. If that were the only thing of importance, I would have a motorcycle, or a little rat rod with a chevy engine and a blower, etc.
These "this versus that" threads are always lame and never go anywhere. Looking forward to the lock.

im not trying to say that the 370z is a piece of sh*t car, im just saying with 10-15K you can build a better/faster car on a 350z than a 370z

Flaming, name calling, quick-witted insults, 1-uping etc. were commonplace. Then the mods cleaned it a bit, though there's still the occassional you "dumb f*ck newb, white belt, blah blah blah."

But yeah man, 350 > 370 Did you create an account to stir up the waters? I saw your post count, 1, and that's what I assumed.

Why did you buy your 350Z? Your reasons are probably the same as ours for buying the 370Z

bfd, with 10-15K I could build a car that would knock both Zs silly. Again, not all about straight line speed.

Uhh, the whole basis for your argument was that your 350 is better because you made it faster. If you know looks (as well as other things) are important too, then you should know why we would buy this car.
Warranty, improved interior, improved functionality of the hatch area, updated exterior looks, improved handling, just to name a couple.
