The transverse leaf-spring in the 'vette is just fine. Honestly. It worked well enough to beat the GT-R around the 'ring, anyway. The American interiors are what I don't like and what drove me to the 370Z. SOLID point! I agree. They are improving, though. The Japanese are down on horsepower and cars like the 370Z don't have the handling to make up for it. They handle nice for a street car I guess, but they push through corners and feel very "heavy" to me, compared to corvettes, the new mustangs, and other cars without so much weight up front. I can certainly agree that you have a right to feel how you do, and won't do much more than argue the points above. I agree with many of them. The Japanese engineer is who frustrates me. The suspension is a HORRIBLY complex design with a TON of rubber in it to flex and mush. The 370 is much better than the 350, but it's like the guy who designed it made it to ONLY function brand-new, and didn't give a flying **** about service, repair, and performance over the life of the car. This seems to be how all Japanese cars are made when I look at pictures of their underpinnings, or in the engine-bay, etc. My G20 and 370Z certainly have been that way thus-far. |
