I'd take one in a heartbeat.

I love everything about the new Z, I'll most likely end up buying one to park next to my camaro when I can afford a second car.

yeah same, though I have faith GM will be just fine, I have been looking at the alternatives (parent's won't help pay for a car with no insurance) and really the 370z is the only thing that I like. Everything else costs too much or gets crummy fuel economy. The only other car I would take would be an entry level Civic coupe, and that would allow me to save a bunch of money for other stuff but I have test driven that car and (though it does have quite a lot of get up and go for 140 horses lol) I would not be very happy with anything other than reliability and the fact that I would be saving like 10K. So please GM stay afloat so I don't have to drive around in an civic lol!

If I couldn't get the Camaro, Chally, Mustang, in that order, then I would get the new Z, but that is like to the last of the last resort. Camaro is #1 on my list

I'm definitely considering the Z. Great bang for the buck and credible performance.

Quoted for truth.

I would take a Z over the 'stang and chally any day.

I guess the question is now; why didn't you?

...looks like an Audi TT and a BMW Z4 Roadster had a baby... not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

camaro5 · 11-23-2008, 12:37 AM

It's a home run from what I've seen so far.

However, if a wanted a LOW TORQUE car, I would have already bought a G37.

Test driving the G, made my mind up for Chevy LS3 TORQUE. WOO HOO!

I own a Maxima, and like Nissans, and would LOVE a 370Z in my WAREHOUSE.

My garage only has two spaces, and they are reserved for a Camaro and a Corvette.

Now, if I hit the lottery, or maybe someday, I want them ALL!

*TAG UR IT* · 11-23-2008, 12:43 AM

It's not bad...but it simply doesn't compare (IMO) to the Camaro. Style...mmm... nice, but not the Camaro.

nonsensez9 · 11-23-2008, 12:53 AM

hmmm.....about an inch more headroom in a Z....and I won't ever need the back seats....500 lbs lighter....hmmmm....

+1 I've been looking at the 370Z this past week and I really like what I see. Both exterior and interior's are really awesome, IMO

I believe it's a viable competitor for the Camaro

Eighty-Six Z · 11-23-2008, 10:06 AM

I used to own a '90 300Z. Loved that car.

I'm not sure if I like the exterior. However, the interior looks very good. I like the gauge cluster and information center. I'm also digging the paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The Nav and Musicbox are pretty sweet too.

It is probably a better competitor vs. the Camaro than the Mustang is (given the weight and Hp). For me, The Camaro is still better.

Lots of firsts for Nissan ie trany, engine.
I wonder if Nismo will get there hands on it ?
