I sat in the 370Z today

Breaker, I have the Autocar road test for the auto, I will scan it and send you a copy if you PM me your email addy. I will do it on Friday as it's at home now.

Just rang a Nissan dealer that is close to my workplace. Although they are not on the Nissan performance car dealer list, they can supply me with a new 370Z, and they sound a bit keener to deal with me than the other dealership! The guy said if I call down sometime they can give me price for my Z4 there and then! He didn't know why the other dealer was dragging his heals!
That would be handy being closer! Still haven't decided yet weather to sell the Z4 though, but trading one dealer against another can't be a bad thing!
For the record, the local BMW dealer offered me £18,650 (without nav) for mine against a new car.

Looks like the tuners are getting their hands on the 370!

140% stiffer at the rear thats gotta hurt....

Actually, after driving one I think that will ruin the car on UK roads. It's spot on from the factory IMO.

Ok for the USA where they just drive in straight lines on large free-ways!!

What reg - 07?

Argh, I can't decide if I like the 370Z's looks or not. Some days I think it looks pretty good but other days I reckon it's over-styled (if that term makes sense). Certainly an appealing package either way.

Are we taking bets on how long it'll be before Breaker buys one?

[Wondermike]

Yeah he'll have ordered one by end of Jan 2010

The only thing I don't like is that the rear wheels sit really far into the arch, from some angles it looks a little odd. The brakes look awesome.

Yes, 2007 model.

Got offered 19.5 for mine at a vauxhall garage at the wekend FYI, mine is 2007, 25k miles, sport, silver.

[Breaker]

To be honest I'm expecting a better trade in at the local Nissan dealer as they offered me nearly £2,000 more for my MINI JCW against a second hand 350Z than that local BMW/MINI dealer did against the Z4 I bought!!

I'll find out Friday.

What was that against?

[Robb]

It wasn’t against anything, told him we were after a hatchback but didn’t know what and just wanted a price on what my car was worth.
He than asked if we were after a 19.5k car or a car and some cash in the back pocket?

Breaker, any more pics - looks great.

Got the pics off my phone:








"Yeee Haaa!" exactly!

Hmmm, I'm on a not-liking-it-so-much day today...

Side profile and from rear 3/4 view it's stunning (roofline into rear window), but I'm not as keen on the front or rear.
