Everyday Driver 370Z review
Anyone see this yet? I stumbled across it last night and hadn't recalled seeing it posted here.
|
I need speakers on my work computer!
|
this car is a future classic, that is all I have to say
|
Every time I see the car in a review video, I wish I could see mine from the outside more often. Watching it bank around a curve coming head-on at you is a sweet sight.
These guys seemed right on with their review. The only thing I can't corroborate is the 7AT upshift gripe they had. |
I noticed about "feeling the debris on the road", yesterday I was like WTF was that.
Nice find! :tup: |
I can see them unhappy, because they feel it should have that instant gear change automatic, but in reality that is the GT-R.
|
nitpicking at debris on the road is asinine to me, the Z is a $85,000 BMW

Nice find! I agree on most of the review, can't comment on the automatic though.

Very nice review. I agree with them 100% on the handling. The car handles so beautifully, it's near dam addicting! ALL aluminum suspension parts with perfect balance and engineering, I constantly find myself downshifting and accelerating though any twisties I find in my everyday driving.
Great find :tup: |

What I've found is that you really need to turn OFF the VDC. That pushed my car into another category of performance - and it's like finding another 20-30HP. Even on hard straight take-offs, where there was no way I was going to lose traction, the VDC throttles back the car - and it shouldn't! Turn VDC off and do the same thing, and voila - the performance I was expecting. Now, unless it's raining, I automatically turn off VDC. I sure wish there was a way to make VDC off be the default mode when you start the car! |
Nice review. Thanks for posting.
|
nice review, just reminds me of how much i hate these winters:shakes head:
|
Best bang for the buck! Period. Por$che? Nope! Give me my Z!
|
In my snow belt state it's just sad watching sports cars trying to make their way through the snow running ugly skinny snow tires and still slipping around all covered in salt.
Get a winter beater. |

^^^ but only the 2004.5 Z for you right? Cuz as far as you know it is the only Z that was made purfect
|
Absolute truth... I have tried several times to pass and with VDC on it goes all ZOOM on noise then takes off. W VDC off it just goes..
The reason it is there is so folks do not get into trouble on wet days. I live in North Central Texas... Not so many wet days.. |
Dead thread redemption :icon17:

Daily Driver Here
bought my 2012 370z as my daily driver. Put about 120 Miles per day on the ride. Bought it to drive it cause I hate trailer queens....so far, really like how the car handles, the performance, and the quality that I paid for. Much better than my Pontiac.... Just trying to figure out what to do for the Winter Months.....All season on some cheap rims?

Holy dead thread revival, batman.
Buuuut since we're on the topic, what are the details of the BMW you had (year, trim, mods, etc), and which 370z you are comparing it to (year, trim, mods, etc). |
wildolympic, :tup: Impressive for knowing how to use "search" on this forum and on the 16 nismo tech!

Congrats on the z. Since you got the auto you don't have to worry about the csc. Just an insane amount of pressure about how you should of got the MANual ;) |

You're on topic and didn't start a new thread. You couldn't have done it any more right :tup: That being said, my buddy's nearly stock 1998 M3 is much more refined than my 2011 Z. Shifts are still butter even with 110K miles on the car, and handling is on par with the Z though different. I prefer the raw nature of the Z and my interior is in much better shape being 13 years newer, but that M3 definitely gives an enjoyable driving experience. |
