why not wait for the new fts or whatever they call it now, I'm sure i'll have lots of aftermarket potential, a fresh design , and eventually lots of aftermarket potential

sorry if I ruined it for anyone who hasn't noticed the moo sound of the 350-370z.

Speed_8, are you talking about the FR-S?

Don't know about the 370. I'm sure it's significantly more refined than the 350.
The 350 when I tried it was raucous and lack cohesiveness.

And it sounds like a dying cow.

I drove a 370 track a couple of months ago. The torque is great but I don't really care for the seat location. I like the laid back feet forward position instead of sitting up high and close to the steering wheel. It felt for like a sprint car position to me. But it is definitely worlds above the 350.

I have the 09 RX8 and let us say a 370Z pulls up next to me at any stop light and I start pretending I am busy with something or other and let him take off because I do not stand a chance. I traded my 06 350Z for my RX8 and I would take the 06 350Z in any stop light exchange over the RX8.

I picked the 09 RX8 for its looks, the back seat and the cost as compared with the 09 370Z but if the costs were the same and I did not need a back seat, I would have gone for the 370Z. That is the honest truth. The power and the mileage and reliability issues make the 370Z a better choice.
