I know pretty much everyone here hates the new Z but its pretty impressive IMO.

peteyturbo · 01-22-2009, 11:09 PM

I think the new Z is bad ass!

namdoogwerdna · 01-22-2009, 11:36 PM

im liking the 370 more and more. looks much better than the concept photos

russiankid · 01-22-2009, 11:43 PM

I still like the 135i, but the Z is nice too.

coleycole · 01-23-2009, 01:28 PM

Nissan and Infiniti have BMW in their crosshairs right now

Vr-4-Life · 01-23-2009, 01:39 PM

There is no reason to hate the 370.

sisforsurfing · 01-23-2009, 01:45 PM

I really like the new Z. Adamantly hated the styling at first but it grew on me really fast and now I really like it.

I'd take the 370Z all day over the 135i from what I've seen and read. 0.9 G is good but 0.97 is really impressive for a car in that price range.

05 mazda6s · 01-23-2009, 02:23 PM

I really like the new Z too. Very impressive. Also the 6 cylinder engines these days just keep climbing their power too.

rickeo · 01-23-2009, 02:35 PM

That was a good video. I'm really, really diggin the new Z. I told myself my next car wouldn't be Japanese as I wanted to move away from that and get into something more sophisticated (like the 135i, lol), but this new Z has really got me confused... I love it!

jspek · 01-23-2009, 03:09 PM

wasnt a fan of the 370 when i first saw it, but it has grown on me more and more. actually looks good in red.

bl@ckvr4 · 01-23-2009, 08:26 PM

I think the 135i is better. It's more of a driver's car w/o that absolutely retarded electronic rev matching. The 135i looks better IMO, but I think it should have a small spoiler on the back. And it's Twin Turbo. I guess I'm a little biased on that last one.

sillyeye · 01-23-2009, 08:55 PM

I really like the new Z it resembles the old school Z more and more.

cyron · 01-24-2009, 03:21 PM

How could anyone hate the Nismo 370z... Freakin awesome looking.
The 370 is one of those cars that needs a wing.

1988 Olds · 01-24-2009, 04:30 PM

Yeah I'm with you guys, Seen the Z and didn't like it at first and now It looks good. I'd still go with the 135i also just because you can turn the boost up and do a few small other mods that will gain alot more hp then trying to mod the Z, plus it prob pulls in more bitches

one8turbo · 01-24-2009, 07:07 PM

id take teh 135i over a z any day of the week

atenzany62 · 01-24-2009, 07:17 PM

i like the z's interior

350 INCH 95 · 01-24-2009, 08:08 PM

The Z is about a million times better looking that that lil BMW. 760iL or bust.

mrchariybrown · 01-25-2009, 11:31 PM

both are nice.

I would still take a 135 though.

I'm growing tired of stiff suspensions and excessive cabin noise.
