There are more on nissan forums of guys with real world driving

Listen im not trying to say the 350z is a better 1/4mile or top end car. Im just saying the 370z isnt gonna get beat by bus lengths by stock ls1 cars. Like you believe

dragtimes.com is so unreliable! the one car had mods and the other "stock" car running 13.2 everyone on there is calling BS!

and where did i say the 370z will get beat by buslengths? top end yes but in the 1\4 mile no. but apples for apples a good stock ls1 is still faster.

I didnt think it was bad at all, im 6'3 195lbs and we have taken it on 2-6 hour road trips. I did feel cramped from behind because there isnt anything behind you but the hatch.

Dragtimes.com is nothing but ricer crap. People can post whatever they want, its complete hearsay. There is no way of verifying the car or its mods, or even if its a real timeslip. Paint and Photoshop can work wonders for ricers with an inferiority complex.

God your such a little girl, the 370z sucks ass just like everything else not with a ls engine in it. Your so closed minded in the world of cars. I have given my friend my T/A while i take his 350z for the day, not because his car is faster but becasue its fun to drive all different types of cars. The 350z and 370z are both fun cars to drive and if you cant see that its your loss.

I didn't know it was a requirement to give props to asian cars on the LS1.com.

Looks like you're just bent out of shape because not everyone likes the same cars you do.

I have nothing against imports. Just rice.

What japanese cars do you give credit to?

Im not mad you dont like some of the same cars i do, i just dont know why people dont give credit where it is due. Im sure you hate STIs and evos(even properly built ones)

**jomo** · 04-08-2009, 02:20 PM

If a japanese car had 1000 hp and a 1000lbs of tq ,got 80 mpg and ran a 9 flat stock,wesman would still think it was junk.

This is an LS1 site so you shouldn't be suprised some people prefer these cars as opposed to other ones.

**02WS6dream** · 04-08-2009, 07:06 PM

i prefer and have a 'special' appreciation for these cars, but that doesn't stop me from also appreciating (and driving) other cars for their various qualities... the f-bod is not the best car ever built in every aspect... but does evoke quite a bit of emotion

I will not be stopping at the Nissan dealer--not the car for me, but won't stop me from nodding at and being very interested in the first 370Z I see around...

**karpetcm** · 04-08-2009, 07:46 PM

Ive seen 4 so far, i have to admit the styling will take time to get use to. Its very aggressive and to me if you look at it from the side it looks like the back end is too short. It has a new blue color that looks real nice to me but ill have to wait and see some fixed up ones.

I would.

If I had 30 grand to drop on a new car tomorrow, I'd test drive three.

The new Camaro V6, the Challenger R/T (the middle one with the V8), and the 370z.

Don't know which one I'd buy, but I'd expect all three to be pretty bad ass.

Hey Wesman, since you're an expert, how does the new multivalve Caddy V6 that GM's transplanting in the new Camaro stack up against Nissan's??

**shady milkman** · 04-09-2009, 05:14 AM

30 grand?? and get a v6 maro?

come on man..v8

Dude that has nothing to do with anything i said. I love lsx cars more than any other type but i still give credit where its due. 370z - 4.7 0-60, 13.3 1/4mile mag times. .97g at 71.4mph on slalom. The 350z was a blast to drive and im sure the 370z will be fun aswell. I have also have fun driving my legacy and my supra and i keep them around simply because they feel soo much different than my T/A.

Why do people come on this site defending completely unrelated cars? I personally have better things to do than to go on import or mustang sites defending LS1's. I could really care less what a 350 or 370 could do and I don't have to respect it. That's why I'm on an LS1 site and not a nissan or some other site.
