Is Nissan's NISMO 370Z A 50 Percent OFF GT-R?
 

I like this quote………….”Hopping out of a NISMO 370Z into a Mustang GT was like dining at a fine sushi restaurant that has California rolls, which are perfectly executed, and then strolling into a restaurant with American cuisine, which lays down a Sloppy Joe”.

when did california rolls become fine sushi? :shakes head:

Lol California rolls!!!! What a sushi expert!!! Hahahaha

:tup::roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

California rolls lmao...

I was pretty surprised he thought the body kit on the nismo was "over the top". I think the kit looks great and makes the z look a lot sexier without having the look of an aftermarket body kit.

I THINK he might be trying to say something with a fine sushi restaurant carrying perfectly executed california rolls...maybe comparing the Nismo to a California Roll that should be cheap but it's well built?

I don't know, no one can be that stupid.

Yeah really, California rolls... :bowrofl::bowrofl:

I think it was just a dumb writer trying to connect Japanese cuisine to a Japanese car that ended up with a major culinary fail.

That and California rolls are a terrible example of authentic sushi...

I mean ****, he could have at least said spicy tuna roll or something more appropriate :rolleyes:

He was retarded on multiple fronts, we'll put it that way.

I agree.

A sloppy joe > california roll. That's just the truth.

lol I didn't even think of it that way. So true.

Poorly-composed, lame articles like this make me want to do automotive journalism just to show how retarded some of these guys are...

The problems I notice with most automotive journalists are:

1.) they don't know jack **** about cars, and don't hide this fact very well
2.) they think they know way more than they actually do, and drop technical jargon in incorrect or inappropriate ways making them look like complete idiots to real enthusiasts
3.) they are biased, paid-off ********
4.) they cannot write to begin with
5.) they glamorize the most boring, basic pieces of **** the same way they do proper sports and exotic cars

I can't figure out the greater of the two evils: automotive journalists or car salesmen. :icon14:

A Car & Driver journalist... that's what. Not only do they write about cars, they sell BMWs. :eek:

Add to that list

6 ) they write an impassioned and opinionated article about a vehicle and then contradict themselves on the same vehicle six months later.

lol and hondas!

What you don't know won't hurt you I suppose.... I just broomed the Z for a new Mustang GT.... Trust me, It's pretty nice....:-)

"Both are tasty but are completely different in their presentation and delivery"...True Dat!

Who says that's "the truth"? I'll take California sushi rolls over a Sloppy Joe anytime!

Every automotive magazine is full of **** / corrupt in some way or another. In my opinion Motor Trend is the worst though with Edmunds being a strong second. Every automotive magazine is full of **** / corrupt in some way or another. In my opinion Motor Trend is the worst. Car and Driver may very well be biased towards BMW but it’s sort of hard not to be as BMW really does make great automobiles. But then again, not long ago they deemed the Audi S4 superior to the 335i…

Me! I'm a sushi lover, believe me, but I just don't like the Cali rolls.

You got a stanger, Mod? Awesome! 5.0 I trust?

Yup!. It is awesome....Different than the Z for sure, but excellent in it's own right...Fast and fun!

Looks Nice, Congrats!

Please describe the differences in 50 words or less. This will be graded, Thank you.




:D

Fat, Fast and Fun.....How's that?.....:tup:

Oh yeah, roomy and comfortable too with Excellent quality control!

If they had hopped into a new Shelby GT, it would have read: "...went from eating California rolls to eating filet mignon..."

Love the 'Stang power, not so much the live rear axle.

But that's my ignorance talking - if I owned one, I'm sure I'd enjoy a helluva ride.

Nice stang.

I love the new Mustangs but I don't think I could ever bring myself to owning one. Especially here in south jersey...the city next to me, Pennsville.....all people own are Mustangs LOL. But there sure are a few that stand out!

At 48K base, that just might be the best value in all of sportscardom. It's just tearing up the tracks out there.

BTW, those retro gauges are good to look at. I'm glad Ford's keeping the tradition alive. Good to see a "5.0" emblazoned on the fender again!

^^ I agree

Modshack,
I had the 2006 Mustang GT. I had white, and had red shelby stripes painted from front bumper to back bumper. I had probably every mod one could add except for a supercharger. Steeda lowering springs, strut brace connection, billet lower control arms, racing shocks/struts, CAI, billet interior pieces, 4:10 gears, etc. I loved the car but had to sell it in 2008. The stang had many more bolt-ons available, and is much easier (and less expensive) to mod than the 370Z. I love muscle cars, but I really did not care for the solid rear axle. They would really hit a home run with independent front/rear suspension. My instrument panel was not retro white like yours. However, I has the "My Color" option that allowed me to change the gauge lighting (red, blue, green, orange, purple, etc.). I like the 370Z better, but I wish I still had the Stang.
