Interesting tidbit about the Nissan engineers considering the 54/46 weight distribution to be perfect because it becomes a perfect 50/50 under the load of a hard corner. I've never thought of it that way. Not sure if I really buy the argument, but it's definitely food for thought.

They said this about the 350z in '03 too.


Going back to the excellent review by Winding Road, as far as sound is concerned, the guy I throttled it past this afternoon would testify that sound is indeed an important element in a sports car - he nearly jumped out of his seat, poor thaing
