Not only is it the OEM high-performance tire for the 2009 Nissan 370Z, the ADVAN Sport is a Max Performance summer tire developed specifically to meet the needs of many other prestigious sports cars. Designed to achieve a balance between high speed stability and ultimate traction and comfort, the ADVAN Sport raises the bar for original equipment high-performance tires.
The Pilot Sport series has served as the OEM high-performance tire for dozens of sports cars world wide, including the 2003-2009 Nissan 350Z, and is the standard for streetable performance. Michelin's Pilot Sport PS2 picks up where the first Pilot Sport left off, delivering superior cornering ability and traction but with an asymmetric tread pattern for enhanced water shedding ability.
General Tire's Exclaim UHP (Ultra High Performance) for the 2003-2009 Nissan 350Z is a summer tire for the Fair Lady enthusiast on a budget. While low in price, it still provides outstanding grip, response and control in dry conditions as well as strong resistance to hydroplaning in the wet. Molded into the unique directional tread design is an advanced silica compound that reduces friction between the rubber molecules and dissipates heat more effectively.
Overview
The 2009 Nissan 370Z is 2.7 inches shorter and 1.3 inches wider, and although the styling has something plainly in common with the previous (2008) model, almost every plane and contour is subtly or distinctly different. The wheelbase of this sixth-generation car is almost four inches shorter than the previous-generation 350Z, and all of the sheet metal is new. Nissan is calling the 370Z an all-new car, and it's hard to argue with that.
The all-new, second generation NISMO 370Z, which is set to go on sale at Nissan retailers nationwide in June 2009, continues the tradition of the original by offering unique performance and design attributes that true sports car enthusiasts are looking for - straight from the factory. Like the limited production NISMO 350Z introduced two years earlier, the new NISMO 370Z is a tuner-Z® enthusiast's dream, featuring a 350-horsepower 3.7-liter V6, racing-inspired exterior and interior styling, a specially tuned suspension and special super-lightweight 19-inch forged alloy wheels.
Less than a year after the introduction of the all-new 2009 Nissan 370Z Coupe - a vehicle that reset the bar for affordable sports car design and performance - comes its dramatic new stablemate, the 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster. The seductively styled Z® Roadster offers everything the hardtop Z® Coupe does - and more. As in more classic open-air sports car driving excitement. More sun, moon and stars. And more refinement than any Z® convertible that has ever come before - including a standard automatic latching power top and Nissan Intelligent Key™. Also offered are an array of technology and convenience features, including the first-ever Z® Roadster-available heating and cooling ventilated net seats, Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, satellite radio and advanced Nissan Navigation System. The 2010 370Z Roadster is scheduled to go on sale at Nissan retailers nationwide in late summer.
Hey everyone,
So you have read and heard and seen a lot about the 2009 Nissan 370Z. What do you think? Will you be getting one? How does it stack up to other performance vehicles? How does it stack up to the 2003-2008 Nissan 350Z? Did it improve enough, if at all from the Z33, engine-wise and looks-wise?
Is the new 2009 Nissan 370Z the next car for you?
Thanks for the strong response everyone. The feedback is appreciated and will contribute to the content on the site. Look for your comments, suggestions, and opinions to be a part of future articles. Keep the posts coming!
The new 2009 Nissan 370Z dots the road more and more these days. On the surface, Nissan's latest Z chassis has a lot in common with its big "sister", the Nissan 350Z, though the new Fair Lady is shorter and wider. You also see little gestures that are a throwback to its roots, the rear window even beckons back to the 1970 Nissan 240Z.
While the automotive press is abuzz with praise for the all-new Nissan 370Z, the outstanding performance of last year's model, the 2008 350Z, has been all but forgotten. However, the budget-minded auto enthusiast has known that this is the car to watch as dealers ponder how to move unsold brand new 350Z's off crowded lots. Well, to you dedicated few we are pleased to say that your patience has paid off. Right now you can get an incredible four-digit rebate on any 2008 350Z or get financing as low as 1.9% APR for up to 60 months.
The 2009 Mazda RX-8 is not well-known for its flashiness, perhaps preferring to be lauded for its differences - the obvious one being its rotary-powered "renesis" engine, which was designed to reduce exhaust emissions while producing greater power. Already considered a performance alternative, does it have a chance against the well-received new 2009 Nissan 370Z?
