thats it. i thought it was going to change my mind into disliking it, like finding out it may still get smoked by the BMW 335/135's.... Z fail. Why doesn't Nissan make a 380-400 hp n/a v6 and call that the "Z". I mean the GTR has like 510 hp.

He was boosting 2 psi more I think is what he said. Unless thats what you ment lol anyways.

I'm not very fond of the headlights and tailights on the 370. The rest of the car seems pretty sweet. I still like my 350 do . I hate how people critisize it so badly . It's a great car and for those saying an sk2 as more style than the z well umh no . anyways I'm going off topic sry.

Agreed. Why did they just slightly improve the Z? The difference between the 300Z and the 350Z was huge. The 370 should have been produced with at least 350hp

Not sure if that really makes any sense. The 300zx TT is faster then the 350z. The 350z just handles better. I feel like the 370Z should be able to compete with the corvette. That's how the 300zx was in the early 90s. Nissan just wants to have the car priced around 30k so they can sell them all day

I'm not saying the 350 is incredibly faster than a 300ZX TT. I was just saying the 350 and the 300 are different animals and it shows. Since this is a model change the difference between the 350 and the 370 should be significant. A lot more HP would have been a great place to start.

26 hp is a decent increases in hp it brings whp right up to around 300 and with a few tweeks here and there i bet u can get another 18hp to bring it to 350. i think it would have been awesome if the 350z had 350hp and the 370z have 370hp to go with the names in more then 1 way

A person like you would not pay a cent just to race legally. Too fast, too furious! You'd rather waste your money buying stupid, insignificant bullsheit for your poor car. Plus, you always sound like your broke. No money for track fees and a decent helmet.

I like the 370z, however, I'd let nissan work out the kinks for the first couple of years before i consider buying one. With all the new technology they introduced to the 370, there's gonna be one that will need revision.
