This guy doing this video is an idiot...I almost barfed when he said the VW & BMW was better --that is all.

That guy is fuckin douche. He states over and over that it is designed for the track and then proceeds to complain about road noise and doesn't say a word about the need for a real oil cooler. Also, no reasoning behind his negative claims - his brain bogs down and just says "it doesn't do it for me" or "it doesn't really have a soul" or some stupid $hit

Thanks for the laugh, Trips

I like my Nismo and although it's not my DD, I enjoy it a lot. I didn't buy it for the speed or power, I have a SRT8 for that, not for gas mileage, I have a SmartCar for that. Simply saying, I like the car for what it is, not what it should be or I would've spent my hard earned money elsewhere. I've said many times before that the last true Z was the 91 300 ZX TWIN TURBO and felt that these cars are not competitive with the cars they've once been compared with. Back then we were racing these cars against M3's, M5's, 911's, Corvettes, Ferraris, Supras, NSX's, Mustangs and Camaros in which have all excelled to new heights. The mini me cars that it's compared to now is an insult to the history and heritage of the car in my opinion. I like the car for what it is, but it's just not what it used to be. It gained 50 hp in 20 years............... Wow!!!

All I can say is.......Brilliant! lol My favorite quote "the 275's keep the car planted. So well, in fact that you cant even do a burn out" Well, that just seals the deal for me. First thing I do when test driving my potential cars is a burn out. No burn out, no sale.

i especially like how he says the Z relies on technology to control the car, yet the only thing it has in the way of technological driver aids is the synchro rev match and VDC, both of which can be turned off lmao

I can agree that it's definitely time for a little more HP. Nismo Z are falling behind in that area. As far as driving experience though...this ninny needs to stop talking and apply some right foot.
