hey,

thought i would brag on behalf of my manager... he went to the auto motor show where he entered a comp by nissan n he actually won a 2 week test drive of their new 370z which has just come in to Aus yesterday...

i think its spunk but thought does anyone know much bout this car...?

Lucky guy, they are a gorgeous car

They are essentially the same as the venerable 350Z

Oh, except that they are quicker, have more torque, handle and stop better

I have seen an article in a magazine that stated that the only car that Nissan make that is better is the R35 GTR (as in current model that is)

If I could afford one, and could have only one car, I would probably retire the FTO

im not a fan at all. I think it is actually totally hideous. maybe with some aftermarket additions it could turn out better

I actually like the 350 look over the 370z, I don't like the zig zag in the front headlights at all, looks overdone.

But still, they're a nice car.

dont worry about the looks. mountains of aftermarket parts will soon come in for your pick!

No doubt that it is definitely going to sell as favourite and a serious contender in the racing scene.

a lot less electronic brains on board compared to the cyborg GT-R. So it just you and the good old FR!

Very Porschey type of look to it, but if the 350 is anything ot go by then the market will be shortly flooded with aftermarket bits so that can be changed. Its all about the performance with this one I think.

not a huge fan of lights but think the rest of the car looks, great, particularly back quarter which I think looked a bit awkward on the 350. think the 370 looks brilliant side on and from the rear.

my old man drove one last week, said it was very quick. He is getting a bit older though so said he couldnt live with it day to day (getting in and out etc). Im just mad he didnt tell me, as I would of have met him there to drive the thing!

@ the grammar / sentence structure in the comments at the bottom of the picture.. can't believe someone got paid to write that sh*t .. and that someone else got paid to check over it

Anyway .. I like the rear, hate the headlights & that front bar looks so stupid .. reminds me of ogre tusks;

Everything else .. wheel arches, bonnet etc are nice..

Very nice car. I'd love to have one as my weekender. Handles very good and has good power from a 3.7L V6. Does quarters in low 13s which is damn impressive considering it's only 3.7L. It's near 250kw iirc.

Trying to convince my boss to buy one atm lol.

I fully agree, I think the entire car is gorgeous. I love the lights, very different. And even though the front bar isn't fantastic, it is NO WORSE than a standard pre-facelift FTO front bar (I hate them... blech!)

Cmon.. 350 = Sex on wheels!

Also I have a couple of pics of 370 when I went to japan, it looks so HOT in real life, pics don't do it justice. If only the lights were different.

350z with Weber Sports kit:

lol, we have very different taste .. both when it comes to cars .. and women..

IMO the headlights would look mean if they didn't have the rounded section where it cuts in

That's a bold statement coming from someone who has just brought a 6A13 FTO LOLZ (dirty copying bastard! be original

)

And I'm more than willing to throw down the gauntlet and compare missus's
