2009 Nissan 370Z

2009 Nissan 370Z Sport Package Coupe The 370Z is proof that revolutionary changes aren't mandatory to keep a model line fresh. The 350Z lacked a decent interior and storage space, and its styling was starting to look dated. The new car addresses these shortcomings and improves what was already a good package. The result is one of the most desirable sports cars on the market. Steady progress in a model line is not a new idea-Porsche has been following it since, well, forever. Other automakers should take note of this success. Car and Driver, Feb. 200 For consignment, a 2009 Nissan 370Z sport package coupe with a title verified 13,022 actual miles. This is a two owner car, garaged its entire life, and rarely driven in the rain. Now that the kids are out of college and on their own, it's time to revisit your sports car days. It's Z-time! Exterior It was called dual shark's teeth by Car and Driver, and the distinct front fascia of the car still looks fresh some 15 years later, owing in part to the headlights that sweep back flush with the body clad in Platinum Graphite Metallic paint. From there, the steeply raked windshield gives way to a roofline that immediately dips rearward, terminating in more flush attributes of dynamic tail lights that contour around body panels and flank a decklid spoiler. Wide hips in the form of fenders extend past the lights giving the car its distinctive gluteus maximus rear profile. 19-inch Rays Engineering wheels are appropriately geometric in design and carry ZR rated low profile and staggered size tires with an early 2023 date code. Imperfections include a few chips, scratches, and chin scrapes. Interior The door actuator on the graphite doors stands out as a design highlight on otherwise simple and handsome door panels that include a white stitched black cloth insert, both doors presenting cleanly and each with a can shaped contour for drinks. That white stitching makes its way to the sporty bucket seats, each with patterned cloth inserts and tall headrests. It feels high tech, or at least race inspired from that point forward, with a nice ergonomic steering wheel and mix of gauges and buttons ahead and the Z's traditional row of canted gauges in the center. A stitched door hides a cubby in the center stack, then you'll find the AM/FM/CD radio and A/C panel below it and if you close your eyes, your hand will eventually find the shifter in the center console with coordinated stitching and aluminum framing, and all of it is clean. A dash cover has been added and below, black carpet in the footwells and hatch areas all appears without flaws. Drivetrain A clean and crowded engine bay house the 3.7 liter DOHC V6, pumping out 332 horsepower and mated to the 6-speed manual transmission with SynchroRev Match Sport Mode that allows for perfectly matched downshifts. Power is routed to the rear axle with 3.692 gears and viscous limited slip. Undercarriage Conditions are clean on the inside where materials look barely used, because they are! Dual exhaust runs through original equipment mufflers on its way to the back and Akebono power disc sport brakes are on all four wheels. Fully independent suspension includes coil springs at both ends with multilink in the back. Drive-Ability No rattles or shakes, just a solid and well preserved Japanese sports car that does everything well. Great power, super handling, and other than that narrow rear view, good visibility up front. No complaints here as all functions on the uncomplicated Z car work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. The latest refresh of Nissan's Z car was met with decidedly mixed reviews in terms of design. The 370 retains more of the traditional Fairlady lines while establishing a personality of its own, one more congruent with the model and more desired b
