<p>I was raking my front yard the other day and what should drive down my quiet suburban street?  A shiny silver <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000055906ec" title="Nissan GT-R" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_GT-R">Nissan GTR</a>, that's what.  Man that thing is gorgeous, in a sinister <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000047883ba" title="Airlock Alpha" rel="homepage" href="http://www.airlockalpha.com/">SyFy</a> miniseries villan car sort of way.</p>
<p>I waved at the guy and he honked and waved back.  Part of me wanted to chase behind him and beg for a ride like a 10-year old boy.  But somehow I restrained myself.  After all I can'<a href="http://www.japanesesportscar.net/tag/t/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with T">t</a> afford the transmission fluid change, and my <a href="http://www.classiccarinsurances.com">car insurance</a> is fine where it is thank you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The restyled 370Z <a href="http://www.japanesesportscar.net/tag/base/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Base">Base</a> is equipped with a Nissan 3.7-liter 6-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 24 valves.  The  engine is paired with a Nissan 6-speed transmission.  This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Nissan.</p>
<p><span id="more-273"></span></p>
<p>Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The 370Z has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.   The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.</p>
<h3>Vehicle Statistics</h3>
<p>The 370Z is  inches long,  inches wide, and  inches high.  It has a wheelbase of  inches.  It is able to seat several adults comfortably.</p>
<p>There is a 50,000* mile, 60* month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 50,000*/36* miles/months.  This is normal for this price range.</p>
<p>The listed retail price in 2009 (MSRP) was an industry-low price, with an invoice cost of an industry-low price.  This price is above average of the industry average price for a  two-door <a href="http://www.japanesesportscar.net/tag/coupe/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Coupe">Coupe</a>.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>Fuel is handled for the 370Z is a SFI design, running on gasoline fuel.  The gasoline is managed by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The 12-gallon tank provides the fuel storage for longer trips.</p>
<p>The 370Z <a href="http://www.japanesesportscar.net/tag/base/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Base">Base</a> received a miles-per-gallon rating of  seventeen  in-city driving and  twenty three when it came to long-distance.  Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was exceptional.</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>The 2008 model began the promise of the Nissan 370Z.  The 2009 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets.  Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Nissan hopes that the 370Z <a href="http://www.japanesesportscar.net/tag/base/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Base">Base</a> will continue to be a profitable vehicle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot has been said about the Nissan 370Z for 2009.  As Nissan's entry in the <a href="http://www.japanesesportscar.net/tag/coupe/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Coupe">coupe</a> market the 370Z (and in this case specically the <a href="http://www.japanesesportscar.net/tag/touring/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Touring">Touring</a> version) has maintained a solid reputation.  The <a href="http://www.japanesesportscar.net/tag/2-door/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with 2-Door">2-door</a> 370Z is especially appealing to wide market segment, making it a perfect car to help Nissan as a brand in general.</p>
<p><span id="more-272"></span></p>
<h3>Performance</h3>
<p>The 370Z <a href="http://www.japanesesportscar.net/tag/touring/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Touring">Touring</a> is equipped with a Nissan 3.7 liter  six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves.  The  engine is mated to a Nissan 6-speed Transmission.  This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Nissan.</p>
<p>The 2009 370Z's normal  fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection (MFI) style of design. The fuel tank holds 12 gallons.</p>
<p>Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The 370Z has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc.   The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.</p>
<h3>370Z <a href="http://www.japanesesportscar.net/tag/touring/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Touring">Touring</a> Statistics</h3>
<p>The 370Z is  inches long,  inches wide, and  inches high.  It has a wheelbase of  inches.  It is able to seat several adults comfortably.</p>
<p>The listed retail price in 2009 (MSRP) was an industry-low price, with an invoice cost of an industry-low price.  This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a  two-door <a href="http://www.japanesesportscar.net/tag/coupe/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Coupe">Coupe</a>.</p>
<p>The standard warranty period for the 370Z is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first.  The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 36* months or 50,000* miles respectively.  This is standard in the <a href="http://www.japanesesportscar.net/tag/coupe/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Coupe">coupe</a>  market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The 370Z <a href="http://www.japanesesportscar.net/tag/touring/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Touring">Touring</a> received a miles-per-gallon rating of  seventeen  in-city driving and  twenty three when it came to long-distance.  Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.</p>
<h3>In Summary</h3>
<p>The 2009 model year was unsuccessful for the Nissan 370Z.  The introduction of several trim levels (along with the <a href="http://www.japanesesportscar.net/tag/touring/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Touring">Touring</a> version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..</p>
