Also, you really just don't want to be a target, and by that I mean, the more you pursue the "Please NOTICE ME" modifications, the more you attract the wrong attention. And really, when people see a CLEAN older Rx7 or Supra, or 3000gt, it just says everything. I hope to see a few more clean Z's out there. Sadly most just have the same stupid crap done to them, all non functional cheap crap slapped on. It's like dudes that get tats but cannot fight, and guys that have beards but cannot change a car tire lol.

The 370Z Nismo pack completely transforms the car for me. Not only does it look more wide and aggressive but it makes the car look so much more modern as well. I’d take a 370z Nismo over a 400z in a heartbeat.

I like both but I am biased in favor of the 370, having bough a 2019 379Z sport coupe 6MT a few years sgo. I agree that the best view is the 3/4 rear view. Mine is Magnetic black with a ceramic coating that looks like a sinister animal waiting to pounce.

I strive to keep my 350z as stock as possible. I altered the exhaust and lowered it about 0.68 inches to remove some of the wheel gap. I don’t like when people camber them and do all the same cookie cutter mods

Flawless analysis, totally agree with you.

As a Juke owner, I’d love to see what you think of that design. It was obviously very controversial when it debuted, but I’ve actually grown to appreciate it a lot. For example, I think the OG Juke design looks better than the Kicks. What do you think? Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I really like the styling of the Juke. It’s definitely distinctive and the separated headlights and turn signals are not an oddity anymore. To me, especially thanks to the wide wheel arches, the Juke is squat and tall, but not ungainly. (Like the Ford Ecosport.) It seems athletic to me, kind of like a bulldog. And the turn signals on the hood actually remind me of an old Corvette. Hear me out! Sitting in the driver’s seat of an old Vette, the front wheel arches were sharply pointed and stuck up when looking out. The turn signals in the OG Juke actually end up doing kinda the same thing. But maybe that’s just me. Haha.

Glad you did this video man, I have an 08 350 with the raised hood.

As for the new 2022/23 Z Just forget it completely, it will go down as a complete miss!!...........Was it designed by Microsoft?

I could wax on about these two forever. I like how the 350z has the essence of a Z but nothing more. It looks like a Z in style and proportion but without any blatant callbacks to old cars. The 350 still looks modern, and not retro modern. I also think it looks alittle cleaner and more pure. The 370z is beautiful too, but you can see the retro modern influences creeping into its shape with the 240z style canopy roof which took some getting used to at first but overall I think it works. What I don’t much like are the further enlarged wheel arches and bigger rear end make which make it slightly chubby looking. The pre facelift front end suited it better before it was changed in 2013 too. The only thing I’d change about the 350z are the reverse/indicator lights that are below the taillights. They were absent in the concept and it looked much cleaner. Now that the new 23’ Z34 is coming out I think the 370 still looks good but I prefer how the new car does slim down the wheel arches and tidied up the back end in a more compact/clean way. The 240z references are 10 times more blatant now with much of the styling referring to the original which I had mixed feelings about since up until the 370z most Z’s always had a forward thinking design that wasn’t so “retro” but I’m happy it’s being made, and in many ways the 240’s lines are timeless.

I can't decide which I prefer. It's 50/50 for me. The nicer elements of each design integrated into a single package for the best of all worlds design would be ideal, but it's rare to have your cake and eat it in the automotive world.

Most cars are either square/edge or round/curves in design. The 350Z is a blend of both in a beautiful shape.

I'd still get the 50z it's nice I love the older look

I own 3 of the older chassis Z's and I still Prefer my 76 S30 and my 81 S130 Turbo and 96 Slicktop Z32 body lines over the the newer Z33 and Z34 models. They were just curvy and sexier to me.

You completely have the same opinion as me. I Just love my 350 Z

Im keeping my 2008 350z Nismo for a very long time. The 370 was the start of Nissan screwing up the Z car, and lets not even talk about the ‘400’ Z. The 350z was an evolution of the Z car line and not some retro mess of the 370z and the gauges in the 370 are a hot mess. Nissan did NOT need to go the retro theme like all other manufacturers were doing at the time the 370 was released.

I've always liked the 350Z more because it is cleaner and simpler.

It seems like it's really a matter of taste. I sold Nissans in 2003 in Colorado Springs and the local newspaper interviewed me essentially because I'd owned older Porsches. '67 912, 1970 S, and the piece of.hit '79 924. I was impressed with the vehicle and vowed I'd never spend money on another Porsche. I'd take the rear end of the 370Z. Peace

Interesting, our opinions are definitely very far off, i find the 370z to just be a more perfected version of the 350z. I find the 350 lines to be very bland, and the tailights are my least favorite thing on the car tbh. I just see way more aggresion in the 370 with the sharp lines mixed in with the roundness. I also definitely prefer the 350z nismo i think it needed the added aero to boost the aggression. And the white 370z nismo that you show most of the time is the v2 which in my opinion doesnt even hold a candle to the v1 style. But thats just my opionion and im always happy to know everyone has their own taste. ~370z v1 nismo owner
