yeah well, anytime you can sell a crazy SW20 is a good time.. there are only a few people in australia who want that sort of car.

I saw that. Most guys out there are trying to make a 2-3K profit on GT's and this fella wants almost 20k profit! Sad thing is I bet someone will pay for it too

I come from a 350Z in 2006 and find that the 370Z takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do you won't ever go back! Give it a go and see whether you like it! Thank you TMCA for screwing things up and thus I've bought a 370Z after all (I am actually thankful even though it costs twice as much - it is more refined than the 86). |

i have tried to like the 370Z a few times actually, been to nissan 3 times and sat in them..
but they are reluctant to give me a test drive unless i agree to buy the car that day. what a way to sell the car.. im trying to like it and they wont give me the chance to get hooked. i hate high driving positions. thus i LOVE the 86 |

I suppose you have tried lowering the 370Z seat as much as possible - is it still not as low as you'd like? I personally don't mind the higher seating as it's easier to get out and I don't feel like as if my bum is only cm's from the asphalt My dealer went all the way so as to prepare a new 370Z so I could test drive it as much as I want, then finally when the White 370Z that I wanted was available (it was driven by the sales manager) I test drove that one too! Yeah the 370Z is a V6, due to its very linear power delivery and weight it probably is more of a powerful grand tourer than a nimble sports car like the 86, but I still love it! |

Yes i suppose i could just put a recaro in the 370z but then i would lose the OEM look. and its additional cost i dont want.
