interesting read on jalopnik about the 370z:tup:

Why I **** Up My Cars

Given that it's a VSR turbo kit, how long until the follow up article titled "There went the motor"?

:rofl2::rofl2:

So basically what i get from the article is that she hates the Z....why the hell did you buy it then?

a lot of these editorials the authors are paid $ to fill up space, ergo, this article.

so what's her user name on this forum..?

I am pretty sure this is Glokwork's car.

They are from the same state, she mentions his name - Chad, and the parts list is similar.

All you have to do is text Chad and ask him who bought his car.

A stock is the best tuned .. for me.

(only except OEM tires & speakers)

You know what!!!!


Fvck Jalopnik!
Fvck their Z articles
Fvck the people who wrote for them.

I say this because they've been on a mission to destroy the Z heritage name since the camaro concept became a pre-production model. They act like all cars are supposed to drive exactly like camaros and mustangs.

You know what. I like the camaro and even the current mustang. But neither still provide the visceral experience of our Z's.

This little bitty with her 2 fast 2 furious DVD comment .... getdafuckattaheuhhhhhh!!! It makes me wanna slap the taste out her mouth.

Go buy your bloated mullet machine and **** the **** up...

It's amazing how they can't find one person that likes a Z in Jalopnik. Mistake number one is... it's review as a DD.it's not a DD and if you want to drive on a track. Get a nismo on there. And the faghuts at C&D crashed a Z 7 years ago. No other reviewer has crashed a Z. So that came choked up to an isolated incident that ONE EGO BRUISED DRIVER blamed Nissan brakes. The same brakes and pads I wore down on a track before upgrading to the stop tech pads n rotors n never had a problem and I wore down two Z34's, not one. My 09 which had horrendous axle slack and when I took off on a track. It sounded like my car had come apart.but the 09 felt the most raw and amazing. A lot of pansies didn't get it.

Then my 2011, with softened spring rates and mirror/rearview camera and a more confused than the 09. Still raw, but you can feel the wayward attempt at refinement.

The Z is not for everyone. This I will agree. But if you have the car for one week. And you didn't have a blast in it???

YOU'RE NOT AN ENTHUSIAST
YOU'RE NOT A REAL DRIVER BY ANY MEANS.

Go buy a muscle commuter car in v6 guise. That's who you are. Lil bitches.

She has an Evo, that Camaro, the Z, and a Datsun Z. Maybe other cars. What are you going on about?

Must be that time of the month.

Stated what I'm going on about. A lot of what is said concerning the Z is bunk. It's the way the article reads and the way they've been writing. No objectivity at all.it's clear what the mission is out of Jalopnik. The ONLY MORONS TO CRASH A CAMARO! On first drive day in Michigan.

Fuckaattaheuhhhhhh

I can totally recognize how it would feel to buy someone else's modified Z. Or any modified car.

Think about it, how much research did you do before you bought your first performance part or visual upgrade (or sticker). Did you turn the bolts yourself? To me, doing these things makes me a car person. Looking at all the options, what can I afford, is it worth it?

When I got my Berk HFC's and dealt with the demon bolt first hand.
When I got my Typhoon intakes and Z1 upper manifold and ran out to the garage one morning to knock it out before my other things I had to get done that day.
When I got these AAM Short Tails recently and had a small issue with one of the bolts being rounded off and having to cut the nut off and repair the threads a bit and dig through a gallon bucket of nuts to find a suitable replacement.
When I decided which tires I wanted to put on, how wide I can go and the pros and cons of each.
When I decided which stickers I was going to put on and where they were gonna go so there wasn't an overkill but I supported the causes/people/companies I wanted to.
When I decided to tint the windows, what levels I chose and why.
When I decided to paint the calipers and paint the engine cover red like a Nismo cover (250$ please)
When I decided to dye the stitching of the seats and panels red.
The GTR start button and carbon fiber trim pieces.
The fact that I love the weirdness of the black cherry paint color.

All of these things make my Z, my Z. They are what make me feel proud and can take pride when someone says "wow nice car" or insults me for it being a V6 or anything else. I feel pride because this is my Z, there are many like it but this one is mine. It is part of me.

I can totally respect that someone understands that feeling and feels like they are betraying themselves or the builder because, they didn't have these feelings, these emotions. They can still drive and appreciate the car but they don't have the same connection. That's not a bad thing, just a thing that I think we can all relate to in some way.
