Follow-up analysis to Car & Driver crashing Nismo 370Z at VIR

The 370z is a sports car but it needs personal touches to cater to driving needs. Its not like a porsche cayman S that is instantly track ready. Still and all, the Z is one of the coolest cars under 40k.
The brake issue... well it was an issue. We would like to believe it was a sh1tty driver or the guy didn't know what he was doing but, keeping it real. It makes sense that a $3,000 sport package that 2k of it are rims will have a BBK that would need personal upgrades to make it a true race brake system. New brake lines, rotors pads and fluid would probably increase performance significantly.
But I do have to agree that nissan amps themselves up. Then a few months later, you find out its really not as much as what it is, then you find yourself modding for improvements. Honestly this is a trait in all jap and asian cars and no one should be surprised. Still and all, looking past the hype. The asian auto market still gives more for your dollar than any other market. Weighing pro's and cons. I still think the Z is worthy.
