Default my Z reviewed

so i gave an online reviewer looking to further hone his craft my z for the day. told him to be as honest about this platform as he wanted. i think he really hit the nail on the head about most things (both pos. & neg.) with this car. i really love his writing style tho (clearly jalopnik does too, since he's made the front page twice with his reviews).

Reading the review now. I am curious as to the height of the reviewer. I am 6'0, will I have issues with being cramped by height alone?

hmm im not thinking he's much over 5'10". i think he's more referring to the relative "snugness" of the cabins overall feel. as opposed to say a mustang

The review was ok, I guess. The writing though....*gritting my teeth as I type*.

The reviewer needs to keep in perspective the age of the car he's reviewing. What's not so relevant today, was pretty awesome when it came out. He's making a lot of comparisons to cars completely out of the 370z's class.

And in complete honesty here. I was in the market for a corvette. I owned one! I switched to the Z. That may not make sense with today's vette, but it made perfect sense to me when I bought the Z

Well...how 'bout those Cowboys, huh?

The writing was...difficult. IMHO, was trying too hard to "make it cool". I felt awkward reading it, as if it were penned by a 9th grader. No offense. Im sorry.

no need to apologize to me. different strokes for sure. video was a lil tough, but as its a first try at that i'll give him a free pass. i actually really enjoy the writing style, but then again that comes down to preference
