Congrats...... I love Z's... Def write a little review for us, when you get more acquainted with the 350Z.

Guessing not...

350z is a good car, but there's something about it that never quite appealed to me. I do like the 370's a bit more though. It really is a personal choice though... I'm sure most people wouldn't get my next car either. Enjoy... I'm sure that extra power is fun.

I didn't like the 350, but I like the 370 tho, more stylish in design, just imho.
And loves my 8. :D

Anyway, congrats and enjoy the new ride~

1st Mod get rid of the hole in the center dash omg. Biggest **** up in Nissan history. The Z cars are very cool I had an 85 300zx with dig dash back in the day. It was good while it lasted I fried the auto transmission and got something else.

I drove a Z and didn't like it at all. Good brakes, awesome shifter feel, good steering and suspension, but it never really felt that fast. The RX8 definitely felt more eager. Horrible interior (base model convertible), outrageous price, and worst clutch I've ever driven (left leg was really shaky after 15 minute test drive). Seemed like it was only good for blasting around town in at WOT. Otherwise, hated it.

That was my experience and it was an 05 or 06 Z back when Nissan was adding updates to it every couple years. Yours should have all the updates and I hope you like it. There's no shame in going after what you want.
