A Used Nissan 370z Is A Great Budget Sports Car (Even Better Modified) | POV Drive

[@UnitiveWILLIAM24]

370z’s were and are still awesome. Big high revving n/a v6, minimal tech, gorgeous looks, & has a lot of potential for modification.

[@VenezolanoWithA370z]

i got a 2010 370z at 36k miles for about 24.5k i think it was an awesome deal and went for it currently sitting at 49k miles, time goes by when your having fun with a awesome car!

0:13 that fisheye wideview lense makes your car look like a ladybug its soooo cute XD

[@Straszfilms]

I had a 2009 370Z a decade ago, and it's still one of my favorite cars. It's a really fun car on the street and with a few mods it can be a solid weekend track toy. The community (at least back then) was also really strong, with a ton of modding options. It was a super well documented car. I imagine that now things are even better. I actually didn't know about the gallery gaskets, that must've been an issue that popped up after I sold mine.

[@Charles-jo8ub]

Guess it depends if you dogg your car flooring all the time blows the gasket I got 2007 350z haven't no issues with gaskets 69,800 miles I didn't know 370 too. Still not going to stop me from buying one love my 350z

[@benderbendingrodriguez6697]

@@Charles-jo8ub after 2013 the gaskets are better material and deteriorate at a slower rate.

i’ve said this before, having owned both first gen 86 and nd2 Rf i enjoy my current 370z more than those cars. like most people I don’t give shit about that technical stuff and nimbleness some of the journalists yap about! Z handles more than good around twisty roads and has power for straights

[@charlottetownspud7903]

those are the 3 cars im looking at . except im looking at the 2nd gen 86. why should i lean towards the 370 in your opinion?

[@John-i1g]

​@charlottetownspud7903 He got it right in short - as much handling as most people need and power for the straights. A longer reply is: I love cars and love the 86 and Miata. No beef at all with anyone chosing one. For me, in a 370Z you get the same benefits of size (I live in New Zealand and we basically have 80% tight twisty mountain roads) as them, but the potential with bolt ons, for muscle car style driving experience. I've done a lightweight flywheel, 3.9 final drive, exhaust, tune and bunch of other stuff. You get an idea from this video how it goes - when he does the pulls, you can see decent power that you're not going to get from an 86 or Miata without something really costly like boosting them. Another but related factor is for the money, it just feels a bit more special, an event, when you drive it, because you're in a different performance league, you've got a V6 not a 4 etc. As I said I love cars and looked at the Mustang too, love it, but went for the Z because the Mustang is wrong for the roads I drive here. Each to their own, they are all great cars 😊

[@jakeandrules7724]

Admintuning was absolutely phenomenal in terms of power. You should have gone with their larger intake tubes with tune. Yours are good, get a tune, night and day difference

[@DeSwagg52]

What a huge upgrade from what the channel started with. Congrats! Sounds amazing 🤩

[@kaypolplasco]

Sick bro. I got my 2013 370z Sport Touring Tech Package for $21k with 74k miles, great condition. Its the best car for the money, its been a blast.

[@averson7]

Hell ya I bought a 2010 370z with 90k miles for 14k. I tried to talk him down to 13 but he said that was giving it away at that point lol. My slave cylinder is bad rn, but once I get that fixed that baby will be back on the road 🫡🫡

[@kaypolplasco]

@@averson7 same my csc is going out soon

[@luvroaz]

Just bought a 2017 370z , 55k miles for $21k

[@aroundomaha]

Love the Speed Academy cameo! This is a great call out to value for a nice normally aspirated platform. Odd comment but this might be a good progression from my BRZ in terms of power.

[@pattyboi]

I agreed! I think it's a pretty fair progression from BRZs! I don't believe that 370z's would be much faster on track if both are stock but the sky is the limit once modified!

[@mikedavid1945]

370z will be the classics 100% wideframe unique looks 100% will be

[@Camo-Dan]

Great car. Love these. They sound great too. I have always dreamed of owning one.

[@benderbendingrodriguez6697]

DO IT

[@ddavidel]

Tell me you don't live in EU without telling me you don't live in EU. "370z is a budget car"

[@SunsyloSouvannaraj-rh6zm]

370Z are still a great sport car cause I owned my 2014 touring for almost 11 years now ✌🏽

[@rasterix5721]

Would love to see you boost this car one day. A boosted 370z is something I hope to build one day.

[@pattyboi]

That would be absolutely gnarly hahaha

[@samuelmorales8485]

❤❤❤370z

[@Peanut-218]

which year has the auto rev match? im planning to buy one

[@pattyboi]

Since the 370z started in 2009 it had rev match as an option under the sport package so look out for bigger brembo style brakes, rays 19" wheels, and a button near the shifter with a shift pattern on it

[@strikemaster200]

Bruh?! It’s fast!!😂❤

[@Xueqs]

its not. my 2is350 is faster. Doesn't change that I'm selling my 2is to get a 370z but they arent fast. They are sporty and handle great though and as the dude said quick

[@GearHead-55s]

@@Xueqs eh you could get a mustang if you want to go fast, the 370z has that personality that modern cars are seriously lacking.

[@PyroPlays]

We need a turbo NC Miata build after this 370z, would be awesome!

[@pattyboi]

If the channel blows up that would 100% be something that would happen. I absolutely love the NC

[@PyroPlays]

@@pattyboi I've been following since the NB as I have one now, I'm also looking at going NC at some point, the new flyin miata turbo kit looks stunning for them.

[@Axe_z33]

Nissan is great!

[@joshuasutton4043]

Yes it is bro love my 2014

[@HarryTwatter]

that sounds good!

[@ChrisHersh42]

hey, nice Z! what's more fun? the Z or elantra N? i had a boring daily + an NC miata but got rid of the miata because i wasn't driving it enough. i agree they're awesome cars though. thinking of either getting a more fun daily do-it-all car (manual EN) or keep the boring daily and add a new weekend car (maybe a 370Z).

[@pattyboi]

Ohhhh that's a great question. I think it more boils down to what you want in terms of a car setup. I for one love having one fun car that I can have on jack stands for a week if needed, and one reliable car to do normal car things. They're both very fun cars with the Elantra N being faster on track and needing less mods. I love my 370z though, it feels special every time I drive it

[@ChrisHersh42]

@@pattyboiso I bought a EN hah it's awesome!

[@pattyboi]

@@ChrisHersh42 that's awesome, congratulations!!

[@Johanozoju]

I will be getting a 370z probably by this end of the year. How's the road noise?

[@pattyboi]

Definitely a bit of road noise with the way the rear cabin is set up. It's not awful but don't expect it to be as quiet as a normal economy car/SUV

[@lunartoes621]

Where did you get your 370z? All of the sports packages with manual are pretty expensive. Would you say just wait until one gets posted on Facebook marketplace?

[@pattyboi]

I found this one on a private auto trader listing! I feel like Facebook marketplace is good for some cars but 370z's go so quick it's hard to find any clean ones before they're immediately snatched up

[@lunartoes621]

@@pattyboi yea, would you recommend any places that I would be able to buy a 370z that isn’t totally overpriced?

[@lunartoes621]

​@@pattyboi where are live there are a couple 2013-2014 370z nismos for around 16k, they both have clean titles. What do you think of that? if you don't know thats totally fine just thought I would ask : )

[@pattyboi]

​@@lunartoes621hmmm, I think the mileage and condition of the car matters so much. I'd take a lower mileage 370z with the sport package over a higher mileage Nismo that might not have amazing history. Just something to consider! Either way, if you find a good deal be sure to move quick since the market is so nuts right now

I love the 370Z. Unfortunately I do not fit in it, so it doesn't work for me. 😂😂 *cries in 6'2"*

Haha I can see that being an issue! The few nice things about being a 5'8" king is that I can fit into any car haha

I’m 6”2 and I fit into my Z perfectly fine, I’m also on the slimmer side at 155 tho

[@huskysilverdog]

Also 6'2" and fit like a glove. Maybe you need to try again or have your height checked cause you might be taller than you think 😂

[@RobertNorweg]

What? I'm 187 cm, which is 6'2 and i fit in BRZ and Miata NC, how do you not fit in 370z ? :D I've driven the Z once and had enough space.

[@mxedd5566]

so did u sell the civic???

[@ApexwithDavin]

Curious for this as well.

[@rasterix5721]

Yes he did, he talked about it on other videos

[@pattyboi]

Hey! Sorry I've been traveling this morning. I did sell the Civic, and I'll miss it but I know it's the right move. It helped pay for my 370z and I bought another car that is much better as a fun daily driver.

[@Red-ev8ls]

I feel like for the money 370z are just too slow and not worth the money for 20k but they look cool ig

[@regensempai]

What are some other things you would recommend for 20k? Fun sounding/handling

[@soundkillr]

Completely disagree. This car is on point in so many ways. Modern cars are getting lame

[@Red-ev8ls]

@@soundkillr but this car isn’t “modern” this car is from 2009 and there’s too many tuner cars that I can think of from that period that is way more desirable for 20k! This car is absolutely a bargain IF you get it (the highest) 15k or less 20k range you’re looking at EVOs,s2ks etc hell I’d even do the budget route and supe up a civic si from that year and still have some G’s in the bank lol

[@soundkillr]

@Red-ev8ls i never said it was modern but I'll imply it's an instant classic. Can't be said about a civic or wrx. Doesn't matter either way, your opinion vs mine. Ive owned everything from deloreans to vipers to corvettes and the 370z has awesome driver input. I am not concerned about speed at all, i can easily ring plenty of power out of a 370z platform

[@Red-ev8ls]

@ your right about one thing brother and that is I got my opinion and you got yours which is no problem
