2010 Nissan 370Z Coupe

Very few models of car survive fourteen years much less forty, but that’s how long the Z car has been around. From the looks of the new 370Z, the model will be around for years to come. The new Z builds on the foundation of the 350 with several performance-oriented improvements. In addition to the Coupe, Roadster and NISMO versions, a 370Z 40th Anniversary Edition is available this year. Learn more about the 2010 Nissan 370Z at Arlington Nissan.

Among the changes, the 370Z’s wheel base is 3.9 inches shorter and the overall length is reduced by 2.7 inches, while the width is up 1.3 inches and the rear track gains 2.2 inches and the height cut by 0.3 inches. The 370Z retains the previous model’s zero front lift and zero rear lift with the rear spoiler. Extensive aerodynamic testing was conducted to counter the negative effects of shortening the wheelbase. In addition to the aero treatments, the body has been stiffened significantly to improve handling. Nissan dealer Arlington has all the information on the 2010 Nissan 370Z.

The 370Z continues to be powered a 3.7-liter, V-6 engine producing 332 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque, mated to six-speed manual gearbox. An optional synchronized downshift, rev-matching system automatically controls and adjusts engine speed to the exact speed of the next gear. Adding to the 370Z’s performance are a 95-pound decrease in overall weight and a shorter, carbon-fiber composite driveshaft. Those who opt for an automatic transmission get a seven-speed unit with Downshift Rev Matching and Adaptive Shift Control, which offers quick shifts in manual mode with a target time of 0.5 seconds. Performance and innovation are what make all Zs desirable and one of the more popular used Nissan cars Boston.

The new Z’s suspension had been enhanced to cut weight and improve strength, while adding more camber adjustment. A double-wishbone design replaces the multi-link setup of the 350Z and uses lighter, forged aluminum arms and cradle, along with a stiffer anti-sway bar. In the back, the four-link rear suspension is also stiffer and lighter and the rear cradle is now a single part (no welding). The Z rides on 18x8.0-inch front wheels and 18x9.0-inch rear wheels with Yokohama ADVAN Sport tires. The Sport Package features 19-inch forged, lightweight allow wheels with Bridgestone Potenza RE050a tires.
