There has been a lot of hype over the $150k GTR that will be here next year but until recently Nissan's sport vehicles, while reasionably quick, have net really set the world on fire. Not everyone can afford $150k.
The new AUD$64K 370Z was recently tested by Motortrend and the results were far better than I expected. 400m 13.3 @ 105Mph, 0-100 4.7, 0.99G lateral force in the skid pan. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...est/index.html Holy snapping duckpoop Batman....... |

Good times there, but I just can't bring myself to like it. Looks kinda like something barbie would drive.

May be a stupid question, and probably get smashed for it, but would this be P Plate legal? Or considered in the performance restriction?
13.3.. Being a NA 6 it would be legal so long as its not restricted? Also would the Nissan 350z be legal for P plates?

Just had a quick look. 350z is restricted. So i assume 370 will be too.
Sorry all for my stupidness.

I think anything over 200kw is counted as a high powered 6. I'm not to much of a fan of the 350/370Z look while it's not an ugly car it's not great looking.

Looks like it will be a tough car...I found the track zed's i've driven at work to be a bit dissapointing,they are no slouch but there nothing special...The twin turbo one on the other hand gave me the boot in the backside it needed from factory haha.

I don't like what they've done to the lights, at both ends... wait to see it in the flesh/metal/plastic before final judgement. Barring that, it's got some nice new lines...

I think it looks great, the fat rear end looks so damn awesome and the front bar is so menacing.. would look awesome in black with bronze 19" Volk TE37's

![]() I wonder when the bong heads setting those rules will make the falcon an exclusive car. (I say bong head because I believe it should be based on kw/ton and kw/litre, butttt thats for another thread to discuss) Mainyard

Bit sceptical of the times, the 350 only runs mid 14's and the 370 only has a little bit of extra power and slightly lower weight. American mags always pump out times so much quicker than the rest of the world seems to be able to achieve. I think high 13's might be more realistic here in Oz.

It's a nice car with some good times. They need to start turbocharging them though
