I know someone has already posted this video from Redline Reviews - but I feel this guy hits it on the nail pretty good with his review of the Nismo. He focuses on the outdatedness but when he gets in the car and drives it - even he can't deny how much fun it is to drive overall. Is the Z outdated and needs a refresh - we all agree it should have happened 3-5 years ago - but it is what it is. Still a great car and a fun car to drive.

Doug has his own style, as do many reviewers. In my opinion he's a decent reviewer and has a good sense of humor. He is bang on in regards to certain issues we all know of. Can you imagine if he brought up the CSC issue? The lack of oil cooler? And then go on about the price?
However, his reviews are more based on the bells and whistles of the car. If the car had a function for spraying perfume every time you **** your pants when you hit the accelerator he would give it a "9/10" for the everyday driving rating. Does he drive sport cars the way they are suppose to be driven? No. He just punches them in a straight line and makes a judgement on the car based off of that, which is enough for the average consumer. Regardless I like my Z. I chose it over a 335i, M3, Mustang 5.0 and S2000. Why? Good power band, reliable, mods are easy on the car, VQ is a God send in terms of reliability and the lines on this car are indeed timeless. I give this review a Doug score of 6/10. Just wanted to say from 6:41 - 7:00, I just feel like punching him in his throat. . . So annoying. |

Or ride a motorcycle that had the throttle on the right twist grip, and spark advance on the left twist grip? How about the rear brake on the left and shifter on the right? Shifted gears by hand? To start the bike. You had to push a button on the carb until it left a puddle of fuel under the bike. Drive a Jeep MB3 that had 4 sticks in it. One was for the 3 speed tranny. Next was to engage the transfer case. Next was Hi and Lo range. Last was for the overdrive. :driving: Drive muscle cars that rolled over and played dead in the corners. :driving: Double clutching a stick because the tranny had no synchros. You young guys don't know on what you missed. |

Model T had 3 pedals on floor.Far right pedal was brake.Middle pedal gear selector.Far left pedal was reverse.On steering wheel left spark advance.On right throttle. Besides all the ones you mentioned; another younger people do not know how to do is shift and old car in or out of overdrive. |
