Sneak peak of the 2009 370Z

[AndysPlit]

I'll have to clarify; "370" and "260" do not sound as good as "240" or "280". It's all in how it sounds, not looks, drives, etc.

From the A pillar back it's starting to look more like a 911 in that photo.

[xray]

I can't say I like the headlights, or the "fangs" in the grill, but 3000lbs and 350HP say alot more to me. Unfortunately, price increases mean it's close to entering M coupe/135i/Cayman S territory which may be a tough nut to crack.

Increasing price is what killed the Z in the 90s--let's hope it doesn't happen again.

If Mr. Ks son came out looking more like Stefan Jacoby, I would question his lineage, and that is really my problem with the current Z...

You have to wonder who was sleeping with the head of the Audi TT design group to be able to steal the blueprints for the 350Z...

Maybe you guys would like it better if it looked more retro:

That just might be the sexiest thing I have ever seen in my life...

Oh god, I want it.

What would have been cool if Nissan had called the 350z the 340z to stick with the culture of the car. Then this new 370z could have been called the 360z, all though that sounds like an Xbox .

VERY nice looking concept car, I like it!

I think I see a little Lamborghini Miura concept car in the back endLOL

Camo!! Right on, man... I love it. Did you model that car or know who did ? Excellent work.

I'd rather see the 370z headlight look like this nice and sleek, instead of the arrow head they have in the car already. I love the retro look to a new z that would be awesome, and i would buy it in a heartbeat.

Steve, I was thinking along similar lines and I became curious. It seems to me that one of the features Nissan emphasized in their US sales of the Z was the Price to Fun ratio. So I searched for an Inflation Adjustment Calculator and ran a couple numbers to see if that ratio had been changed between 71 and 07 (no real reason for choosing 71).

$30,000 (2007) = $5676.41 (1971)

Unfortunately, it seems fairly close (yet so far away)

Now that is FREKIN AWESOME ! !

I'd buy that over any 350Z anyday of the week !

The only thing that comes as close to that in terms of style is one of the

newer Lotus Elise cars.

Also looks a little like a BMW Z3 or Z4 coupe from this view too.

The 370? Looks like an aftermarket body kit on a 350Z to me...

At least Mr. Camouflage posted a car that looks related to a 240Z...

If Mr. Ks son came out looking more like Stefan Jacoby, I would question his lineage, and that is really my problem with the current Z...

In my opinion: Is the 350Z a great car? Yes. Fast? yes. great handling? Sure. Ugly? AbZobuttuglutely!

... I 2nd that.

370Z?, a HKS or Blitz turbo on a stock 35 could fix that easy.

Bigger engine? Same car?

Camo!! Right on, man... I love it. Did you model that car or know who did ? Excellent work.

Yeah Cam what gives? Is that a real concept car or not?

Cause I know some people who know some people who'll ROB some people

But seriously, whats tha scoop on that car and what does "GRID" stand for

on the license plate? The fabricator?

~Z~

I say somebody needs to send those pictures into Nissan and tell 'em this is the Z people really want.
