<a href="/featuredvehicles/130_0903_2009_nissan_370z/index.html">Starting right where the 350Z left off, the new 2009 Nissan 370Z is the next great evolutionary step for Nissan's sports car legacy.</a><p>I used a local canyon road as an evaluation course and found the differences between a manual 350Z and the auto 370Z to be substantial. On one side, there's a good couple miles of uphill with longer straights and multiple corners as you descend. Acceleration was more linear as I sped up to the top of the drive, but cutting through the turns was very balanced using the paddle shifters, which allowed me to concentrate more on the actual drive instead of fidgeting with a clutch pedal and shifter. Of course, a little seat time in a traditional 6-speed manual would give me a fair comparison to lean on, but I was more than impressed with the auto. On standard surface streets, the 370 can bounce through traffic with ease and is very nimble, just a real thrill to control. It's a perfect daily driver although the ride quality can be stiff at times, but if you're a likeminded performance enthusiast, you won't mind it at all. And a little birdy has also confirmed with us that 20-inch wheels can be fitted without clearance problems in the way of offset or brake clearance - and yes, those front brakes are monstrous at 14-inches of pain and pleasure. But even the 19-inch factory wheel upgrade isn't bad and it's produced by RAYS Engineering, the same birdy who tells us their wheels fit, no problem, though maybe not as aggressively as its 350 counterpart...yet.</p>
