Car and Driver Crashes a Nismo 370Z

TARDCORE

I have the C&D issue when they FIRST tested the NISMO Z. The morons tested it as soon as they drove it off the lot. No break in period, no oil change, nothing. It performed horribly I can post the pic if you like but I am sure most of you read it. Sorry if this is a re post in this thread. I do not like Car & Driver's reviews. Their performance numbers always seem to fluctuate among other cars and this car. Obviously different drivers doing the tests but they seem to be biased towards luxury (especially BMW, man bimmer fan boys rejoice at C&D mags) from what I have seen. I like their magazines but I remember one issue where they tested the Subaru WRX and STI. The WRX had VERY similar numbers to the STI. Ever since then the only reason I pay $20 for 24 issues is for the pictures of the new cars and to see whats new in general and to get a ball park figure of how fast a car is. If C&D says a car runs a 14 sec 1/4 mile, seriously consider adding + or - 3/10 of a second there. And from what I saw from their NISMO test possibly consider adding + or - 5/10 of a second! If only C&D put pictures of hot girls, then itd be worth it just for the pics.
