i gotta say, if this forum gets under your skin, never try another forum... hell the volvo forum i'm on is 10x worse. this is BY FAR the easiest going forum i've been on.. seriously, its pretty decent. always active, easy to get a straight forward answer. but dumb questions and posts will get jumped. for instance, if i bought a mustang, i wouldn't get on the mustang forum and make a thread like "how come this car isn't as good as a ZL1" or "which exhaust makes my car fastest".
a lil common sense goes a long way on the interwebz also, which is better, the brz or my z?

Most car companies have negative customer service as expressed by dissatisfied vocal customers. The forum story about Astin Martin was one of the worst ever, if any one recalls. My 370Z kicks *** over every Mustang I've ever come accross. And this is quite a few.

[QUOTE=Mt Tam I am;2295836]I have spent less time here, at the forum, as well. The enjoyment has lessened.
Time for some Hookers and Blow...

I'm hardly in general discusssions anymore. Just cuz all the shytboxes complaining like lil period havin' hoez. I've been mostly in the Forced induction and firearms thread areas. Other vehicles to post news and have minor discussions and crack a joke or two. Honestly, I hate talking about the Z here...
The second you say something positive about the Z here. 5 c0ckriders automatically bring up 5.0 BS and comparing it to the Z. This forum started with a shytload of elitists and dbags in 09. They disappeared then 2010,11 and half of 12 this place rocked except for the 5.0 cult. But now, so many things are changing here again for the worst. At least the elitist Dbags had passion for the Z. Funny to see how much Car and Driver manipulates the minds of guys on here. Also, I'm no mechanic. But i am a true driver. Understanding the dynamics of driving. 75% choose shytbox mods and don't make the right improvemnts necessary for the Z. I read people whining about the Z with a $5,000 modlist in the sig and no mod that addresses their issues... I call that fashion modding. Then they complain when they sense understeerin high speed turns, excessive brake fade, etc... These have simple susoension fixes that cost about $2,000-$5,000 and very few adjust for driving. They drop for looks. . Everybody is working on intake exhaust and tune for .3 seconds. Guys, you can gain that tuning your suspension, getting better tires and suffer less of some of the performance issues you face from driving a front heavy Z. But i guess since you can only show off your mods on a lift??? Its not worth the added performance? Engine mods are always last. Because once your suspension is perfect? You can determine how much power you need to add for your car to feel perfect. My point is, so many complaints but nobody wants to fix it. People think thet Car and Drivers Corporate reviews on an overrated muscle car is the solution to fixing a sports car that is dynamically more neutral in the corners and holds a more consistent speed in the corners. The stang slows down and jets out to make a complete turn. Yes it does it faster than the Z. But thats torque. The Z can hold a higher speed entering a turn and coming out even though it's overall slower in that turn. That said, A modded Z with about 450rwhp will be a force to be wreckoned with on a curvy track against a na stang with intake and exhaust pushing about the same hp. Yes its cheaper on the stang to make 450rwhp. But the stang will never be able to mimmick the neutrality of the Z, That said. Both cars are awesome cars. But you are paying for two different qualities of driving. In the end, the Z's quality of drive is more expensive in general to achieve than the stang. It takes a lot of engineering for a company to have a median car that handles like an exotic and still gets the quarter done in the low 13 and achieve 1g. Understand that these cars just appeal to different types of drivers. If we were rich here. Z drivers would own a 911. If mustang owners were rich? They'd own a viper. 2 different but very capable cars. So douche bags. Understand what you own. Learn Z history, understand Z engineering philosophy so you know why your z excels in one area and lacks in others. You'd be happier owners. Love to the stang and all sports cars. Lets end the BS.

I would take a 911 over Viper any day. You can quote numbers and stats at me all day long. Don't care. I simply like that car more. The same is true with a Z and mustang. Quote it all day, don't care, I love how my Z feels on the road, and I like driving it.

Reviews are ideas and guidelines. Long term reliability tests give you the most from mags. On paper stats is a guideline to what your skill level should be in the car (give or take) yet most cant achieve it. While a small fraction can beat it. Then lastly is, test drive the car, ignore the salesguy or get a solo run if you have a good relationship with the dealer. And see if that car truly fits you like a glove. Accelerate to 80/100mph as fast as you can, Take a 90 degree turn as fast as you can, Find a steep hill and drive up it. Heel and toe on the highway. Double clutch on accel Feel the car and let the salesguy get upset... It's a demo anyway. It's your money. But before that. Know what kind of sports cars you like. Look at diagrams of the tracks you dream of, then find artcles of your favorite cars driving on those tracks or a track similar to one you like. Transplant yourself and imagine the drive. Then test drive. If the car isn't feeling how you imagined it? Don't buy it. Most D-bags just buy what other people will possibly envy... ![]() Quote:
