Indeed, sometimes its the Indian, not the arrow

Impatiently waiting for the mail....

I can't find any mention of this on Google. Waiting patiently for the US Mail.

Just checked the mail...ran yesterday.

Wow...Car & Driver really doesn't have anything good to say about the Nismo370Z.

Throw $25 worth of quarters in the cup holder and the M3 would be LL3, and not LL2. And really following the arbitrary price guidelines, Nissan should have delivered a non-Nismo with a Sport package, and qualified for LL1, and would have received rave review after rave review from all the drivers about how great of a track car it is for the price.

Factory option 'sport' pads will be offered on Sport Zs now? How inflated will that price be?

I would think the 09 sport package with the brake upgrade would have the sport pads?If not then Nissan is selling bogus options?

In 2010 they are offering "Nismo racing pads" for anyone that will have the upgraded brakes.

So are these car magazines truely unbiased? Or do they have an agenda behind them when they test all these cars? Some love certain cars while some hate the ones the others love.

I love how they think they were the reason for the release of the new track pad:shakes head:

Mercennarius 12-27-2009 03:01 PM

Lame...

These pads should be standard on all Nismo/track package 370Zs.
C&D sucks at driving.

MightyBobo 12-27-2009 03:21 PM

Hey look, I fared better than that! lol

Sharif@Forged 12-27-2009 03:55 PM

LOL...definitely more like talent failure. :) Brake failure...that's a good one.

pulpz 12-27-2009 05:06 PM

C&D claims it was a hardware failure, while Nissan just says the pad isn't designed for track use. There is no specific statement identifying the hardware component that failed ( i.e. cracked brake pad, ruptured brake line, piston assembly. etc. - so abruptly as C&D claims.) Nissan simply states the brake pads are not designed for track use - implying a position of no liability, not specificity identifying the pad as a failed component.

I think until C&D goes into more detail regarding the investigation, I have to call ******** on this as well.

Every writer has his or her own bias (although not necessarily an "agenda").
