I drove a 370Z last night

It was wrapped highlighter yellow, was on coilovers, and had a very expensive custom exhaust system. It was lovely.

The car is this color under the wrap

The auto rev matching was throwing me off and I kept trying to do it myself, and the clutch was kinda light, but the shifts were nice and the steering was excellent. The coils weren’t really stiff so your teeth weren’t getting knocked out, but it cornered insanely flat. The VQ37 sounded excellent as always, even more so with the exhaust which let it sing when you wanted and was remarkably quiet on the highway. I really enjoyed it and I think a little more highly of the 370Z now.

It was the first really sporty car I’ve truly driven (the 2016 Camaro SS I drove at 5mph doesn’t count) since I had my M3. It just made me miss having a sports car honestly. My Silverado is pretty much the perfect daily for me, but I do miss having something that I can toss around. I really just need two cars apparently.

At least you can get 350s for under 10k now. Can’t imagine they’re much worse.

According to the owner of the 370Z who also had a 350Z, the 350Z handles a little better actually. A touch slower but eh.

I didn’t *really* fit in the 370Z though. I didn’t spend a whole lot of time adjusting the seat though so maybe I do.

I really enjoyed the test drive of a 370z. Lacked the sharp, easy handling of the toyobaru but torque on demand is a whole lot of fun.

Now if they put the IS’s 2GR V6 in the 86 and called it a Supra.....

That engine is a torquey SOB. I was kinda surprised by it.

Thank you! Finally people are coming around to this car. Did you try it w/ rev match off?

I didn’t know how to turn it off until I saw the button after I got done driving. The car probably rev matched better than I would have anyway. After a couple minutes I didn’t mind it so much.

I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but the 370Z is a care on my auto-owners bucket list. One that I seriously plan on executing one day. Everyone complains that they haven’t changed the car in so long, but I’m happy about that. Better chance of getting one that I like on the used market in the future.

Yeah, it’s not bad but can be a little intrusive.

The 350Z is an absurd bargain by any stretch imaginable.
