Wow. I really like it for some reason. Obviously not more than a Camaro. If you notice, the roofline pays some homage to the old 240Z. So does the long hood and short deck

I agree, I think the proportions are very nice. I am eager to see how this thing will be on the track. I understand that it was put on a 200lb diet and will be given more power; it could be quite a little car. I’m 99% sure a 2SS/RS will be my next car, but if this can hang with a Cayman on the track, I may have to look at it more closely.

expect both of them to be great cars, the camaro will likely be faster, but the Z will likely outhandle it...

so the Adv. goes to whether its a twisty track, or a power track

They didn't completely slaughter the lights like I was expecting. They need to get rid of those god-awful door handles though.

You guys know I'm a car ho. I'll drive anything fun, incl the 370Z.

The one thing it will not have is the instant hit of TORQUE from the LS3. (That's IMPORTANT to me)

true, but coming in right at 3000-3150lbs, and +-350hp, it will be alot of fun to drive

350hp!?...I thought it was getting the engine directly from the G37 which was...what, around 330 horse? Or did I miss something (to be honest, I haven't been paying that close attention)

They are bumping it up to 350hp for the Z.

honestly i dont know, it IS getting the same engine but ive heard from 350z forum peeps that it will have 350hp.

who knows.

personally i think 370hp would be more appropriate

The 370Z is getting the VQ that was bumped from 3.5 like on the 350Z to 3.7 that is on the G37... But until Nissan officially releases any info we won't know if the 370Z is going to have the same 330hp engine or if it'll get a bump to 350+ hp... It very well may... which means competition for you know who...
