yeah well looking at these pix, im not hating or anything, but i must say i like the looks of the 350 much better than the looks of the 370. the 350's exterior just looks so much more smooth and elegant IMO. however...the interior of the 370 is truly amazing. too bad they messed up on the entire front end and rear of the car. the only thing that annoys me is that they are so darn quick. not cool...and their "amazing response" to bolt ons with much higher gains, blows. im a z33 fan for life!

Wat kills it for me is the roof line. Everything is curved then when u hit the roof it boxes up???? LIke wat the hell, whered that come from LOL. My favorite part of the 350 is the nice elegant curve that starts from the roof to the hatch (look at my sig

) Other than that the headlights and taillights are growing on me fast

Where did that come from? Take a look at the GT-R. That's where it came from in addition to several other things. Look at the front bumper on the Nismo and the lines at the corners. Very similar to the GT-R. They are taking the aerodynamics learned from building the GT-R and applying them to some other models.

The rear bumper from the 350 Nismo came from the race scene. I believe it came from the JGTC series but am not certain.

that cube behind the nismos looks a little lost

The black one looks nice.....but I'll take the red one. It almost looks like, Italian, or something. Very cool.....

Yea i know they got it off the GTR but i was just saying it doesn't fit right in the Z34 IMO. The GTR doesn't have a rounded body style like the Z34 so the boxed roof looks perfect. The Z34 has the squared top then rounds as it gets to the hatch. Anyway these nismos do look great, a lot better than the standard models

The red nismos that u shot look amazing!!!

Thanks for the great side by side comparison pix of the HR Nismo vs. 370 Nismo

The HR Nismo is growing on me and I wouldn't mind having it now versus when it first came out. The 370 Nismo - I just flat out want...period.

The 370z outperforms the 350z in every performance aspect. It has a nicer interior. And the only debatable thing about it is the styling which is growing on me. I think it is just biases from a lot of people because they own a 350z. But the 350z has been around since 03' and cars have a come a good ways in 6 years. There is almost a 50whp difference in the 03' 350z and the 370z and that is almost a 70whp difference from the Nismo 370z. Not to mention it has been dyon proven that intakes alone will net about 15whp which is just insane. A really great car for the money though there are even better deas than this beast.

And I agree on the fubly rear end of the Nismo 350z. Hideos man and I haven't like that or the spoiler since I saw them. I would take both off if I had the car!

the new nismo goes between 38-40K, I cannot think of another car in that range that will come close to it in overall perforamnce. it is faster than anything else in its class and it will easily out handle anything else out there.

in fact, I am betting that the nismo Z will be able to hand with a Z51 C6 and easily stomp a non-Z51 C6 considering the new mustang runs faster slalom times that a base C6 non-Z51.

**brickyardz** · 07-07-2009, 12:16 AM

Some of the 370Z styling came from the original 240Z. I have been told the lead designer owned a whole bunch of 240Z's which is why he was chosen. The nose looks longer (like the 240Z), it has the small side rear windows (like the 240Z) and the fastback type coupe rear. It's wider of course and has some other syling cues but that's where some of it's styling came from in addition to things borrowed from the GT-R.

BoostedMKIV · 07-07-2009, 01:03 AM

sorry folks....it took me a while to warm up to the 370z stock body, but that nismo sh!t just looks ridiculous.

It looked good on the nismo 350Z but unless you're taking it to a Star Wars convention, you're looking ridiculous in that nismo 370.

i like the 370z nismo but cant afford another 5 year loan hehe im happy with my 350z planning to keep it for a long time and once is payed off ill be able to mod it crazy

lxlunat1cxl · 08-16-2009, 06:28 PM

350z nismo for the win! I think they overdid the 370 nismo. the 350z nismo simply looks more classy than the 370, imo.

I have to disagree.

I have not liked the new 370Z since I first saw pictures of it.

I then went to the pre-introduction showing here in Atlanta at Z1 Motorsports and liked it even less in person.

But I have to tell you the Nismo 370Z in these pics - particularly in Black - looks great!

I have always hated the 350Z Nismo particularly from the back (that horrid diffuser!).

I must admit they did a great job on the body kit for the 370Z Nismo.

I wouldn't trade my 350Z for one but would definitely consider buying one as a daily driver when I decide to get rid of my 2006 GTO.
