    Is it just me or does this thing have a nasty under bite. My Rx-8 is a little awkward ugly but this looks too disjointed.

    @Speed8: Plus your RX8 doesn't drive like its doors are filled with concrete. I'll second the awkward ugly sentiment, though.

    it's more 240Z shaped with a longer nose, which looks good now that I see it (not so bulldog) but if only you could get rid of those stupid corners of the lights. If I bought one I'd cover up those hookthings on the lights with a body-coloured piece of plastic.


    I can see the 240Z in this one... reminds me of the 240Z concept from some years ago

    There were a couple of valve events at the last LeMons.

    But how much will it weigh...


    And I really wish it had AWD but that is just a pipe dream.

    @Adam: AWD means you would need to convert the drive system to compete with it in Formula Drift. Nissan will probly not pass up the opertunity for Tanner Foust to drive the new 370Z in Fomula Drift. That wold give the 370Z alot of positive publicity.

    @Adam: They aren't going to steal the thunder from Godzilla by equipping the Z with AWD. Flagships are always closely protected.


    Do want, though.

    @Andrew Didorosi: and the GT-R is ,although fast, is hard to drive very fun. The warrenty is voided if the traction control is switched off. The car is hard to slide, hard to make burnout, and hard to spin. It is fast but not fun. The Zcar has always been a fun car and that would end unless Nissan went insanely safety oriented.

    @FutureCarDesigner: The warranty is voided if you use launch control,or use it excessively.

    @Adam: I'd say AWD is not what this car needs, particularly if you're concerned about weight.


    I'd much rather have a well-sorted chassis, limited slip diff, and good tires and be 200 lbs lighter.


    I've appreciated the 350 (and now 370) as sort of a Japanese Mustang. Relatively simple RWD performance without being a $50k lux-mobile.

    Oddly enough that shape suits yellow more than it did the gunmetal colour,still the lights look wrong.

    @Andrew Didorosi: Haha,you know for a second there i did a double take,added to that after looking at the new pic the gunmetal probably does look better. It's kind of like the new Impreza's,at first i thought why did they do that? Then after looking at it a while the look grows on you.
