EDIT: another awesome line from this review:

"The oversized aluminum-caliper multi-piston brakes (from Akebono, not Brembo) feel like they can stop world hunger."

this writer has some good ones.

I agree, I found it very enjoyable to read. I don't need someone to read specs to me, I like when journalists add flavor to reviews. (King of flavor: Jeremy Clarkson) Although I don't always agree with him, he always finds clever, exaggerated, or flat out ridiculous ways to make his points.

That was the first thing I thought as well. I think an overcast sky really helps that color pop. In pictures especially, it looks a lot lighter with a really sunny sky. I think that photoshoot did an excellent job of capturing that color.

A little too much comparison with the GT-R. Not sure why that was done. Of course the 370Z is not going to match the performance of a GT-R! So why even mention it once not to mention two to ten times?!

He's the first reviewer to say that you can get the 370Z loose in curves. Of course, maybe he's the first one to actually push the car to its breaking point. He did have the stability control off.

Not a bad review, but he seems to criticize the Z more than most reviewers I've read.
