I just got a 370-Z with the Sport-Touring Package for my DD. It is small, quick and nimble. The size reminds me of the original 240-Z and in my eyes it is more attractive than the GTR.

For the money I think it's great.

Better looking than the GTR at half the cost.

Congratulations on a great car!

I really like the 370's. I used to think that the interior was very small on the 350 and not to mention how cheap it looked. With the cheapo plastic door panels and dashboard components you can totally tell where they cut corners on cost. However, on the 370 they made some great improvements on the interior room and much more comfortable. Plus, the interior is fantastic! Really nice leather panels and much more luxurious finish.

The 370 is a great machine!

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with. We have a lot of performance parts for the Z's. Intake, exhaust combo on those cars makes over 30HP at the wheels!!!

Joe,
our tastes run about the same. I've got a Tungsten GT, '81 P. 911 "off white" and more than a few Datsun's (aka Nissan).

Nice looking Fleet Headquarters!

Great car, so glad they finally did something about the horsepower with the intro of the 370z. The 350z is a nice looking car, but very embarassing to get blown off in acceleration by the likes of mildly tuned HHR SS, etc.
