Is a used 370Z trustworthy?
The Nissan 370z is fairly reliable overall, scoring 68.8 out of 100. The exact rankings of this car in relation to various other cars are shown in the chart below, however as a point of reference, the average overall rating is 57.
This information is based on a combination of looking at the cost and frequency of maintenance, warranty coverage, and long-term reliability by looking at how long these vehicles are normally kept on the road. Keep in mind that not just compact or subcompact vehicles in the same class as the Nissan 370z are included in this comparison; all vehicles are.
You may notice that these numbers differ significantly from those in J.D. Power or Consumer Reports. Most publications look at complaints made to the dealership within the first few months of ownership (like JD Power) or solicit biased feedback from owners regarding longer-term cycles of their new cars. Instead, this study examines data from wholesale auctions and repair businesses on actual repair prices and frequency.

350Z or 370Z, which is faster?
The maximum speed of a VQ-powered Nissan 350Z is 155 mph (249 kph). There is little difference between the two if top speed is what you’re looking, even though the 370Z may have more horsepower under the hood. Of course, you might anticipate that the 370Z will arrive a little bit sooner.
A 350Z or a 370Z—which is better?
7 The 370Z is little quicker. The 3.5-liter V6 VQ35DE engine in the 350Z garnered a lot of attention. However, the 370Z has a bigger engine, produces 32 more horsepower and 10 more lb-ft of torque, accelerates to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds as opposed to 0.6 seconds, has better brakes, and needs just one second less to complete a quarter-mile.
Is the 370Z a reliable first vehicle?
The Nissan 370Z is not a first-car pick from our team. To avoid problems, the rear-wheel-drive drivetrain needs to be handled by a skilled individual. This is more appropriate for someone with greater experience because of the constrained sitting, small packing area, and low seating position.

The strong 370Z powertrain is responsible for these results. The 3.7-liter V6 engine in the 370Z Nismo produces 350 horsepower and 276 lb-ft of torque. You can gain an additional 5 horsepower and 2.5 lb-ft if you choose the cat-back exhaust. A six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic transmission can be used with the engine. Downshifts are facilitated by the SynchroRev Match feature on the stick shift. 2020 370Z models come in RWD only. A special double-wishbone suspension on the 370Z Nismo makes it an absolute monster over bends and corners. A locking rear differential and Brembo performance brakes are two further performance improvements.

This can be a deal-breaker for some people. Others, though, may like the 370Z’s pure sports car experience, which is now uncommon.

Are sports cars more durable?
Some automobiles are reliability personified. Corolla, a Toyota. Subaru Civic. BMW Z4 (seen above) (pictured above) oh, a BMW Z4? Yes, mostly because automakers have improved the quality of their goods and achieved economies of scale with these offerings over the past 25 years. This has led to a paradigm shift in sports cars’ long-term reliability.
Sports cars are often driven much less than the majority of other used automobile types. This low-mileage reality is as true for a Mazda MX-5 as it is for a Chevrolet Corvette or even a Mercedes CLK-class, according to data from this author’s own Long-Term Quality Index, which has recorded the mileage and condition of more than 1.4 million trade-ins from Connecticut to California.
In addition, owners typically spend more money on regular maintenance for sports automobiles. These cars are much less likely to be equipped with low-quality tires that can hasten the degeneration of the suspension or with paper-based oil filters at a 10-minute oil-change shop. Owners of sports cars today are frequently older, wiser, and more willing to make investments. The outcome? An excellent-condition, fifteen-year-old sports automobile is no longer unusual.
A Nissan 370Z has a turbo, right?
What do you get if you mix a 370Z with a VQ engine, twin turbos, and Adam LZ? Zeroy is a flame-shooting, tire-burning, high-flying monster. A bespoke Doc Race water to air hi rise intercooler that dumps directly into the engine is mounted above the engine compartment of this Nissan 370’s VQ 6-cylinder engine, which is equipped with twin Garrett G25-550 turbochargers. With just 20 PSI of boost pressure, this exceptional combo generates a staggering 837 wheel horsepower (960 crank horsepower) and 643 ft-lbs of torque.
Adam intended to fix and sell the 370Z he purchased, but his plans suddenly changed after receiving some inspiration from a friend named Cleetus Mcfarland. Leroy, a C5 Corvette owned by Cleetus, features a twin-turbocharged LS engine and a special exo-cage.
You can check out Adam’s 370Z “Zeroy” build by visiting his YouTube channel or watching some of the videos below. The vehicle build has experienced its fair share of bumps along the way to completion, including blown motors or two, a broken differential, and a few other minor setbacks. But in between those setbacks there have been plenty of good moments, including a healthy 837 horsepower on the dyno, a trip to the Freedom Factory with some air time entries into the
