Today on Car Throttle, the team delves into the divisive world of the Nissan 350Z. Known for its mixed reputation, the 350Z is put to the test with three different variants: the standard GT, the Nismo S-Tune GT, and the exclusive GTS with a supercharger. Critics have lambasted the 350Z for its weight, mundane engine shared with SUVs, and lackluster interior compared to its esteemed predecessors like the 240Z and 300ZX. However, its potential for customization and affordability have kept it in the game for enthusiasts looking to make it their own.
Behind the wheel, the team discovers that the standard 350Z offers a decent driving experience but falls short in terms of engagement and character. The Nismo variant steps up the game with sharper responses, enhanced power delivery, and a more thrilling driving experience overall. On the other hand, the GTS with a supercharger delivers a significant boost in power, although it may feel like a one-trick pony compared to the Nismo's well-rounded performance. Despite its flaws, the 350Z's tunability and value proposition make it a compelling choice in the sports car segment.
In conclusion, the Car Throttle team finds that while the 350Z may have its detractors, it has its redeeming qualities. Its ability to be transformed through various upgrades and modifications, coupled with its accessible price point, make it a tempting option for those seeking a performance-oriented ride without breaking the bank. Ultimately, the Nismo variant emerges as the favorite among the three tested, offering a blend of style, performance, and driving excitement that captures the essence of what a sports car should be. Love it or hate it, the Nissan 350Z continues to hold its ground as a versatile platform for enthusiasts to unleash their creativity and passion for driving.
