So I have owned a 350z, G35, and two 370z. The 370z is an amazing car that you can pretty much beat the hell out of and point it in any direction and it will take almost any curve with full confidence. I had the Sport model with the "throttle blip" on downshifts that was awesome for those who have not mastered "heel toe." It truly is a driver's car that can keep up with a base 911 for a fraction of the cost and almost no upkeep.
BUT....................
The downsides are many as well. First, the blindspots are freaking insane. You cannot see out of the car side to side or out of the rear. The car also has almost zero sound deadening material so I would equate it to the road noise equivalent of a 1930s Model-T or Honda s2000. The car is also very uncomfortable to get in and out of, hurts your butt after riding in it an hour, and you cannot even get a set of golf clubs in the back without scratching the crap out of the cheap plastic liner. The bose sound system is also a joke and the 19" Rays Engineering wheels will bend if you run over a pebble on the road. Lastly, the motor is VERY loud and feels like it runs out of steam after 4.5k rpm (7800 redline) and also has a tendency for oil consumption issues.
That is why I traded it for a used e92 and I have never regretted it.
