3FIDDYZ Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Pictures dont do the lines and shape justice mate.... It takes all the zeds great points and updates them... Also the way its now set up, more rigid, more powerful, more economical it really give Audi, Porsche and BMW something to think about... Bonnet lines, hood lines, side panels, rear are just all amazing and the interior is major improvement.. Also.. The electricary involed is far superior to the 350... All the dial act like the defi gauges on start up, they fly all the way to the right and then settle where they are supposed to... Key is a major improvement too!! More pics to follow....

MrLizard Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Wow..... Just wow.... Car in the flesh is just amazing... To me that pic just shows how timeless the 350 is and how unresolved the the 370 is. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 My bike does the gauge sweep thing. I must admit I love that..... No idea how many times I turned on and off the ignition to see that! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 WE can all talk about how the 350 is better looking etc...but seeing the car really drives home the point of what an update is all about. more rigid body structure, less weight in key areas, better interior, better performance....and competeing against bmw, porsche and audi...are you guys going to love the S-mode gear change!!!

Darren-B Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 im not in favour of this s mode, it should all be left down to the skill of the driver, if u cant heel n toe u shouldnt b driving a rear wheel drive car quick, what will happen if u get into the routine of using this then get into another car, downshift as get 2ur turn in point without blipping the throttle, lock the rear axle then quite likely end up off the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoREoD Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I cant heel and toe in the Z - my foot/ankle/leg just wont go that way.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoREoD Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 so I just have to have a very gentle clutch foot..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Drivers Choice....you can heel n toe or you can switch a button and let the car do it for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 You don't have to literally use your heel and toe: I use either side of my foot and just roll across as my limbs don't bend like that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Drivers Choice....you can heel n toe or you can switch a button and let the car do it for you! As long as you can chose, then thats good enough for me. I dont want it as standard as I want to pick when I want it to be blipped, not done every time (bet the car will be better at it than me though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 That was the idea chris, the words were " you dont want to be popping and bliping whilst driving round town..." I beg to differ!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, true. Still wouldnt want it doing it when I come into my street! Around the town centre though, I wouldnt mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not confirmed yet, they said it would depend on how the market goes because of the current climate, said new sports car sales had dropped by 50%last month. Possibly April 09.

Ian Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I really hated this car when I first seen it but I'm starting to like it a lot. This could possibly be my next car. I'm assuming it will be in Geneva in March so it looks like a trip there again this year to have a look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrush Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I really dont like it they have ruined it. Might just skip this one and head straight for the 420 Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
