To put things into perspective, I was in 7th grade when it came out.

Michael Jackson was still alive.

Obama was just starting his first term.

Dinosaurs still walked the earth when the Nissan Frontier was released.

Yet the Chevrolet Express has been around since 2003 with minimal changes, making the 370z feel fresh!

And you’re in what? 8th grade now?

Only in your mind.

What’s the perspective, that it’s an aging and dated model? Because it looked dated to me when it came out.

To put things into perspective - I am closer to my 7th decade than you are to the 7th grade, so lets just sit on that for a while. And that car? Yeah, I think they did a pretty good job with it and that it’s reasonably priced for what it does. But then again I’ve not drive one - although I’m sure next time I’m on Turo I can catch one ....

I never had one. I was on that LG EnV2/3 and fourth gen iPod Nano life.

I was a freshman in 09. Graduated in 2012 and the class photo had the whole class in a 12 formation for the group photo. Pretty neat

I had a blue 4th gen iPod Nano before I got my iPod Touch. I still have it too.

To put things in perspective, I was in my first marriage when it came out.

Matt Nichelson > TheHondaBro

I was 24/25 when it came out. I’ve maybe lost or gained a few pounds since then. That thing was bloated from the start.

Spaceball-Two > TheHondaBro

I’d still drive one.

Now think about how that platform has been around in the US since 2002 with the 350Z, we got the 370Z six years later, and the new Z car coming in 2018 will be out at the same time all those kids born in 2002 can drive. On the same platform at that! So we probably have another 7 years of this platform being sold brand new.

Michael Jackson was on his way out.

Good car, overdue for a new generation. I did not like the facelift.

C’mon. I get that you’re making the car look old, but do you have to make me look old too?

When it came out i was an adult who was like “Meh. Not that much cooler than the 350Z i currently drive.”

Now i’m an adult who’s like “Meh. Not that much cooler than the 350Z i currently drive.”

Was it? I mean, 3300-3400lbs was kinda heavy back then, but now its not sounding so bad.

Matt Nichelson > feather-throttle-not-hair

It’s a sports car that’s about the same size as a BRZ, yet weighs as much as a Maxima.

feather-throttle-not-hair > Matt Nichelson
03/30/2017 at 20:46

WELL THE MAXIMA IS A 4 DOOR SPORTS CAR SO THERE.

But in all seriousness, yes its heavy but 3300+ just aint that much when Camaros and Mustangs are 3700-3900lbs.

The BRZ is wonderfully light and woefully underpowered. The Mustang/Camaro make fantastic power and are super duper heavy.

The Z is in the middle. I mean, it seems exactly like what $30K should get you.

GAH FINE!

I agree with you. Those are in the same weight class. I guess my biggest problem was that much weight in a car that small.

I mean, I can’t say much. I owned a 350Z convertible before I bought my current car. It was fun, but it just felt heavy. I know the power was upped for the 370Z, but it still felt like a heavy car.

Eh, maybe I am just nitpicking too much. I just wish it could keep that power and lose a few hundred pounds.

That’s some seriously retro garbage right there.

If toyota/subaru made a higher power variant of the 86 It would be the Z that we all deserve in 2017.

Throw a new 400hp infiniti motor in it and itll be good to go. Its not gonna get much lighter but they can get closer to the camaro and mustang and escape the BRZ comparisons about lightness and dynamics
