Text of the page (random words):
baseball style stitching improved thumb grips and palm rest areas for improved feel on long drives the surface of the leather wrapped wheel is shaved to provide a more kidney like shape to better fit in the hand the shifter was also redesigned with the manual transmission shifter padded in different areas to improve the accuracy of diagonal shifts and to feel softer in the hand for forward and backward motions the holding layer includes the seats knee pads and door trim support the driver s seat is uniquely different from the passenger s seat with lower seat cushion cut outs on the sides where the thighs rest allowing the driver to push on the pedals without the seat fighting them the seat also features an improved frame that helps it to better hold the driver in place during cornering it also offers a 0 4 inch lower hip point than the previous z driver s seat both the driver and passenger s seats are structured with an anti slip material in the main seating surface the sporty woven cloth seats feature standard 8 way driver s 4 way passenger manual adjustments with heated 4 way power adjustable leather appointed seats standard with the 370z touring model adjustable front seat active head restraints are also standard the door armrests have been designed to provide extra support when cornering and the kneepads are better integrated to help the driver maintain the proper position while cornering in addition the available aluminum pedal pads utilize a new rubber insert material to improve grip and the accelerator pedal and brake pedal are completely new the accelerator pedal is now floor mounted versus hanging to provide better contact with the foot less effort to operate and easier pedal to pedal foot heel movement the brake pedal is a new variable ratio design with enhanced rigidity and easier operation interior packaging is also enhanced from the previous generation including the removal of the rear strut brace replaced with less intrusive structural reinforcements and by adding a new shelf area behind the seats creating an ideal area for storing briefcases a retractable cover is standard on the 370z touring model a locking glove compartment has been added standard interior comfort and convenience features include nissan intelligent key with push button start power windows with one touch auto up down feature power door locks with auto lock feature a center console box with a new non intrusive cover design automatic climate control rear window defroster with timer two 12 volt power outlets four cupholders two in door panels two in center console dual overhead map lights and a am fm cd aux 4 speaker audio system with illuminated steering wheel mounted controls the 370z touring model adds standard 4 way power adjustable heated synthetic suede and leather appointed sport seats with adjustable lumbar support 6cd bose audio system with eight speakers includes dual subwoofer and mp3 wma playback xm satellite radio xm subscription required sold separately bluetooth handsfree phone system homelink universal transceiver and passenger seat map pocket an optional navigation package includes the touch screen nissan hard drive navigation system with xm navtraffic with real time traffic information xm subscription required sold separately 9 3gb music box hard drive and interface system for ipod the 370z interior is available black cloth or for 370z touring models a choice of gray black or persimmon leather appointed seating of all the tremendous enhancements to the new z interior one that is easy to overlook is the enhanced quality both in fit and finish and in the quality of materials and designs said castignetti z is proving once again that outstanding performance is available at an affordable price and so is outstanding quality taking performance to a new level since so many aspects of a sports car s performance come down to the simple formulation of power to weight the engineering teams behind the development of the new 370z made that their priority focus on the weight reduction side of the equation they put the new z on an extremely restrictive diet beyond just the pounds shed with the body in white every component throughout the vehicle was scrutinized for example fuel tank weight was reduced by 13 9 pounds the exhaust system by 3 8 pounds the audio system by 3 5 pounds and the 19 inch wheels by approximately seven pounds each for the fronts and six pounds for the rears an estimated 225 pounds total along with the reduced weight the center of gravity was lowered through use of a lower engine positioning 0 6 inches and lower driver hip point 0 4 inches rotating mass was reduced with a shorter carbon fiber composite driveshaft all of these weight savings were needed of course to counter the added weight of the z s enhanced body structure and new technology and safety features the net weight reduction is 95 pounds for the 2009 nissan 370z over the comparable 350z enthusiast model on the power side of the targeted class leading power to weight goal the new z picks up 26 horsepower utilizing the fourth generation of nissan s award winning vqseries v6 the new 3 7 liter vq37vhr engine with vvel variable valve event and lift is rated at 332 horsepower 7 000 rpm and 270 lb ft of torque 5 200 rpm compared with the previous 3 5 liter v6 s 306 horsepower 6 800 rpm and 268 lbft of toque 4 800 rpm along with its larger displacement the new engine gives better power delivery all the way to the 7 500 rpm redline improved low end power and more high end torque creating an entirely new driving experience approximately 35 percent of the engine s parts are new versus the previous design key to the enhanced performance is the vvel system which is able to optimize intake valve open close movements allowing the needed air to be sent promptly to the combustion chamber at the precisely optimized time since the vvel system can adjust to open the valves slightly it improves fuel efficiency by reducing camshaft friction and fuel waste it also provides cleaner emissions by allowing for quicker warm up of the catalyst and by stabilizing combustion when the engine is cool the engine also has a new growl from the dual exhaust system due to reduced back pressure enhancing driving enjoyment the new engine is backed by a choice of two new advanced transmissions both designed to improve driver performance the new close ratio 6 speed manual includes an available world s first synchronized downshift rev matching system which allows drivers of any skill level to experience professional like gear shift performance the synchrorev match function automatically controls and adjusts engine speed when shifting to the exact speed of the next gear position essentially blipping the throttle to smooth out any up down shifts this not only allows the driver to focus more on braking and steering it improves vehicle balance and smoothness by reducing the typical shock when the clutch is engaged the system can be deactivated with a button next to the shifter for drivers who prefer less vehicle intervention the synchrorev match system is offered as part of the optional sport package the synchrorev match system takes nothing away from the driver you still have to engage the clutch and move the shifter it just gives you a performance edge by smoothing out the gear engagement said castignetti overall shift feeling has also been improved with reduced vibration and noise accomplished through improved lubrication and a modification to the lever angle of the short throw shifter the 370z s new 7 speed automatic with downshift rev matching drm and adaptive shift control asc is designed to offer quick manual like shifting when operated in manual mode with a target time of 0 5 seconds between shifts drivers can use the standard paddle shifters or the shift lever with new torque converter lock up logic the new 7 speed automatic feels more direct like a manual transmission the new 7 speed s wide gear ratios offer improved fuel efficiency while the adaptive shift control is designed to adjust to the driver s driving style the combination of the new 3 7 liter engine and advanced new transmissions puts the z solidly at the front of the class in terms of responsive acceleration said castignetti add in the enhanced handling from the revised suspension which provides better grip reduced understeer improved road holding reduced impact harshness and better ride and you ve got a new standard for thrilling performance estimated fuel economy is 18 mpg city 26mpg highway for both the 7 speed automatic and 6 speed manual transmissions increases of 1 mpg city 2 mpg highway for the automatic and 1 mpg highway for the manual transmission versus the 2008 350z the previous generation z s suspension has also been rethought to reduce weight improve strength and improve camber change and lateral displacement the doublewishbone front suspension replacing the lower multi link setup in the 350z uses lighter forged aluminum arms and a lightweight rigid aluminum alloy cradle along with a lighter stabilizer bar with a 35 percent improved lever ratio the 4 link rear suspension is also now stiffer and lighter with the rear cradle entirely integrated into a single part no welding all new high response shock absorbers are utilized on each corner with ride comfort improved through reduced shock friction the standard 370z wheel and tire package features 18x8 0 inch front 18x9 0 inch 5 spoke lightweight aluminum alloy wheels with p225 50r18 front p245 45r18 rear yokohama advan sport maximum performance summer tires also available as part of the optional sport package are 19 inch rays forged lightweight aluminum alloy wheels with bridgestone potenza re050a p245 40r19 front p275 35r19 tires the z s already advanced braking system has been upgraded to include improved overall brake feel better fade resistance and improved nvh with adoption of the new variable ratio brake pedal pedal stroke feel is more direct the standard 4 wheel vented disc brake system includes anti lock braking system abs with electronic brake force distribution ebd and brake assist ba the optional sport package includes nissan sport brakes with large diameter 14 0 inch front and 13 8 inch rear rotors versus 12 6 inch front 12 1 inch rear standard rotors with 4 piston front and 2 piston rear aluminum calipers steering is provided by a vehicle speed sensitive power assisted rack and pinion deign that has been reworked including redesigned mounting bushings and a column insulator to provide improved response unwanted steering kickback and vibrations are reduced with the addition of a solenoid valve that acts like a damper when there is a harsh impact load the standard vehicle dynamic control vdc system has also been revised with new electronic hardware and all new logic the nissan 370z s long list of standard safety features includes the nissan advanced air bag system aabs with dual stage supplemental front air bags with seat belt and occupant classification sensors front seat mounted side impact supplemental air bags roof mounted side impact air bags seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters active head restraints zone body construction with front and rear crumple zones nissan vehicle immobilizer system vehicle security system and tire pressure monitoring system tpms a simplified model line up the new 2009 370z s model line up has been greatly simplified versus the 2008
