370z TestDrive

[zx2man]

Well I got alittle bored today went down to local Nissan Dealership...They had super sexy red 2010 GT-R in the front...my goodness its a yummy car..84 grand..but dealer markup 94,000 bucks...Honestly though..its still the best car under 100 grand imho. That and the zo6-zr1 Corvettes are the best bang for buck cars..Oh snap..where was I..back to the car I can afford yes yes..The 2010 370z..had the 7 speed Tranny with Paddle shifters...this one had the cloth seats..still sexy ass interior..seats hold you very good. Rear visibility in this car sucks..you will depend on your side mirrors more than ever. The Rev matching is cool..but for daily driving gets alittle annoying...This car gets up and goes!...wind up that high reving 6 cylinder 332 hp engine to 8000 rpm and a huge smile goes on your face..the first 2 gears are faster than in my car..mainly cause the power goes straight to the ground right away..3rd gear on this car is still quite quick..but doesnt pull quite as hard as my ms3..handles the corners quite well..would say its on par with my car..but not better...7 dam gears!...@60 mph I was at 2900 rpm in 5th..2300 in 6th..and for s**** n giggles..went down to like 1800 in 7th..now thats a highway gear haha..All in All this is a fun car..its speedshould satisfy most people and it just handles like a solid performance car..I for one will stick with my speed..cause 4 doors and being alittle more practical goes along way with me..plus my cars still alittle faster ..but for being bored and wanting to have alittle fun in a different car this was a good day Anyone with 35 grand burning a hole in thier pocket and dont plan to haul more than 2 people in a very sexy looking sports car should Consider the 370z

the 370 is defin a big upgrade over the 350

 

[bigdaddy]

I agree about it being better than the 350. That ar was horrible looking, and the interior was a mess. I live the 370. It is beautiful from every angle.

On a side note, since I'm not yet 18, my dad and I are going to the local mazda-Subaru dealer and we are going to go drive a brand new STi. On the plus side, they don't require a salesman to go with you, so we shall have some fun in someones future car...but for that unlucky person

 

[stageup]

yea i was set to trade in my car but they lowballed me back in july on the ms3.
08 with 16k miles - 12.5k trade in
they said they could pick them up at auctions for that much so they couldn't offer
more than that.

but ditto on the rear visibility, i couldn't see jack s***. it also did not feel faster than the ms3 because of the boost, even tho i know its a lot faster. i do like how the gears seemed to go on and on before having to change. i even put my car back to stock when i went in for the test drive because i was that sure i was going to get it.

yeah this car is sex, the 370...its a great improvement on the driving side from all angles compared to the 350...

This remind me the day I bought my speed. At the time I didn't know how to drive stick so the sales person took me and my bro for a test drive late night. We were going 80+mph and through twisted back road hahaha. Sales person knows the speed and knows how to drive but I feel sorry who ever buys that CWP MS3 GT lol. I won't say what dealer so don't ask lol.

Wow, back in February my BMW dealer offered 13.5k for my '07 GT with 32,000 miles. And that was an offer to buy...

i went to look at an '05 STi and they offered me 16.3k on my '08 with 22k miles on it. the STi was beat to hell though, so I didn't bother with it.

 

[BoostisLove]

Zx2 I'd like to see a list of your mods.

yea an sti is a car that would rather get brand new than used. but i guess i could say that about any "tuner" car. never really want anyone else's project/messup

i havne't had a chance to really check out the 370z yet, except for ocassional car shows or glimpses at nissan lots. but my dad just got a g37s and that's a pretty sweet deal itself. not quite the same car, but closer than anything else really

 

[RADAR THIS]

+ 1 to brand new

 

[FOGMIC 3]

+2

Best deal I saw used was a 2008 350Z 6 speed with 12k+ miles under $20k, which is sweet since that's still the VQHR motor inside.

I LOVE the 370Z lines better though and the wide rear end, along with better performance in it's stock form. I thought it was funny how the handling didn't improve that drastically in the Nismo version of the 370Z vs. the previous Nismo 350Z over the standard 350Z models.

Yeah, the carfax report on it listed 3 previous owners, at least one of which must have been a complete moron.

Tomorrow I'm going to look at an '06 EVO IX that looks fairly unmolested. They just got it in, so no price was done up on it yet, but the mileage was low and the pics look promising.
