It's better to piss on something else than oil temp right
Theres a oil temp problem with our 370z?!?! no way!

You can turn it off during the break in period and it will stay off, great thing about SRM is when you turn the car off it remembers the setting.

1. the base radio sucks. i love how you cant even put the sound to the rear when you adjust it.

2. i will probably get used to it, but the analog speedo is a little bit hard to read

3. i personally wish the car would have a few extra cubbies for storage.

4. the car is very similar to my old 350. my wife mentioned that they both look alike except for nicer material.

5. the syncro rev thing is interesting, but its annoying at times.

6. maybe i am not remembering correctly, but the shifter is almost like a bus. throw is super long and a little too clunky.

7. whats with the seat. the headrest rods pop out to my back if i try to lean my head back!

8. i am breaking in the motor, so no revving past 4000rpm (others probably did during testdrives). it is better than my rx8 down low, but still nowhere close to the vette.

9. no squeeking yay!

10. the blue is really smurf like, i just need to paint the top part red to make it papa smurf

11. wish there is a small pocket behind the seats

12. ride is much better on this car than the 350, quieter too below 50

13. the headlight switch sucks. i hate auto mode between off and parking lights

this is all i could think of in 20 miles. i like the car so far, just little things i could think of 12 hours later.

typing on cell, sorry for the bad grammar
I work in IT, but I just don't understand why people use their phone to surf the net and enter "stuff" onto a forum. What is so important that it can't wait till they get home and get on a pc? Just bugs me.

I was in the Airport the other day and saw about 5 teenage girls on the pay to use computers all on facebook. I mean... seriously? The whole world needs to know what your doing every 3 seconds?

This world is coming to an end.

What don't you like about the synchro rev? I am new to manual cars. I use synchro rev even in city driving. Without SRM, I get a right RPM match 50% of the time. Even if you are not driving on a track, you still need to down shift sometimes in city traffic.
