My friend Mike Bonanni (Double Down 350Z) says that he much loves his new 370Z. This is from the redline time attack season opener at buttonwillow, where his fastest time was a 2:06.7xx . Not too shabby for a stock na car in the over 3,000lb category.

It's been over a year since the last post in this thread and since then there has been quite the aftermarket development.

I've been doing a little research, and I must say I really like this car. It's definitely going to be my next car. Even though this is a fairly new car, it comes across as fairly straight forward to mod (similar to the 240 in a way). The same can be said about the 350Z, but I'm a fan of the styling on the 370Z more...just my personal preference.

The TT setups are awesome, but I think I will settle with a SC. Been following the progress of the GTM SC kit and I must say it's very nice and with the black coating, it's gives a "sleeper" look.

More info: Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - GTM Performance Engineering 370Z SUPERCHARGER KIT PRESS RELEASE

Pic of black coating (I'm aware the car is a 350Z):








I also like the look of the "fangs" painted matte/satin black. Here's a pic to give an idea of what I mean (I also like the lip on this car too)....

Seen your car in person at the golds gym off 215 and losee a few months back. Other than the functional wing my wife gave your car the "awe how cute comment". I thought it was pretty clean for a simple car. Keep up the good work.

hoping i can make ends meet so i can' have this car by the end of the year i was thinking 350z but i fell in love with the 370z styling + new interior i absolutely hated the old interior

the subaru lease is up december 2010 so by then i'm hoping i can find used 09 with decent miles for about 25k?

been at the my350z forums looking info up everything seems to be pretty legit

any one else in the market for a new/used car this year and looking for cars compared to the Z?? LMK what other options you guys are looking at

Here's my Nismo 370z that I picked up not too long ago-





I'm currently running on coilovers. I have a Setrab oil cooler and some long tube headers on the way. Probably gonna run some spacers until I can find some decent wheels...I haven't been able to find new wheels in the same sizing that match the same concavity as the stock Nismo wheels.

^^ NISMO is gorgeous!

Anybody care to comment about the oil temp issue on these cars? I forget who, maybe SCC but they ran an oil cooler as well, and still had problems with the oil temps running high--on just street driving!

I wonder how that's possible when G37s have been out for a while, and they don't seem to have that problem... or do they?

Flame away?

Never! That shit looks tits! I've always loved red interiors in a Z (240z, in particular). That looks bad ass. I was wondering when they were going to introduce red interiors in the 370.

not that bad, but the 350z kit is that bad since it has front and rear fenders in the kit too.
