2010 Nissan 370Z Coupe prices announced
 
The Japanese automaker Nissan has just announced pricing for the 2010 Nissan 370Z. Fortunately for Z fans Nissan is keeping true to their roots with an affordable sports car, next year’s asking price will remain under $30,000. The base model with a rev matching six speed transmission is priced at $29,990 and climbs to $31,460 for the seven speed automatic version. A drop top 370Z will set you back $34,660 if you shift it yourself, and $36,130 without a clutch. However the much coveted Nismo edition is priced at a lofty $39,190 and has no slush box option. Either way the 2010 Nissan 370Z is powered by a 3.7 Liter V6 engine that sends a total of 332 HP to the rear wheels, although Nissan’s engineers have managed to squeeze 350 HP from the race bodied Nismo’s VQ37VHR making it even more desirable. Press release after the jump. Full storySenner Whitelady Z
Back in July the German aftermarket manufacturer Senner Tuning was still toying around with the previous Nissan Z car turning a drop top 350Z into a Lambo style door wearing tuner transformation. This time Senner has taken what they learned from the 350Z Thunder and gone in a much more subtle approach with the Nissan 370Z based Senner Whitelady Z.  The new Z car obviously gets its name from its finish, but this is the kind of automobile that makes you look a little deeper to truly appreciate what the tuners have done. The paint is a white pearl blend and covers a very subtle carbon fiber aero kit that consists of a new front and rear aprons and an aggressive rear spoiler. The Whitelady sits on a set of Senner’s Barracuda Tzunamee wheels measuring 20 inches in diameter and are available in either Matt Black Polish or Racing White to go along with the car’s purity theme.  The Whitelady Z is not just about looking pretty, thanks to the tuners at Senner they have coaxed a total of 352 HP out of the 3.7 Liter V6, that is a gain of 21 HP thanks to an Invidia high performance exhaust being fed spent gasses by a pair of free flowing catalytic converters. In order to make sure that the Whitelady can handle her composure when the road turns twisty the German spanner jockeys fitted a set of fully adjustable KW Coilovers that not only give the misses just the right stance, but also keep her feet on the ground. Senner has truly come a long way from their last Z inspired creation with this simple pearl sports car.
Eibach has a simple handling solution for the Nissan 370Z
The Japanese automaker Nissan has been producing iconic sports machines under the Z car moniker for quite some time. Every singe example has been a spirited rear wheel drive sports car that set benchmarks for both style and performance from modern day vehicles. The all new Nissan 370Z is no different, powered by a 3.7 Liter VQ37HR V6 making 332 HP and shifted with a close ratio six speed syncro rev matching transmission. As it comes from the factory the two seat sports coupe from Nissan is practically perfect in every way.  We say practically because with the help of the aftermarket, we know that everything can be improved upon. For instance it took a German suspension manufacturer to come up with just the right handling package for this classic Japanese sports car. Now Eibach is one of a select group of manufacturers that are able to build components for Formula One race cars, and they apply that technology to every product in their catalog, including the new 370Z.  The kit consists of a very simple solution to stiffen the suspension and widen the Nissan 370Z’s track to make the rear wheel drive sports car a bit more capable on the track. The more resilient Pro-Kit Performance Springs lower the Nissan’s center of gravity making it less likely to roll under hard cornering and the stiffer spring rates keep the rubber firmly planted to the road. The coils are coupled with a set of Pro-Spacer Wheel Spacers from Eibach. The disks are made from high tensile strength aluminum and push the Z car’s wheels even further towards the corners, giving the Nissan sport coupe a wider footprint and allows it to carry even more speed through the turns than before. This Eibach suspension kit for the Nissan 370Z is a simple well thought out solution to have a little more fun in the twisties. Video: Nissan 370Z vs Porsche Cayman S

The crew at the BBC’s Top Gear recently went on safari to one of the most incredible reserves of all time. While they were there, the show’s ring leader Jeremy Clarkson observed two completely different beasts that were made from the same basic rear wheel layout. First up was the more luxurious twin turbocharged BMW Z4 roadster, followed by the modern day Datsun, Nissan’s 370Z. Whereas they both are powered by potent six cylinder engines the two fun to drive machines could not have been any different. The Bimmer was able to dispel Mr. Clarksons original misconception of BMW’s Z machine while Nissan’s version proved to be a pure sports car experience. Check the video to see for yourself.
