Best Sporty Coupe

When I was researching the 370 I was kinda disapointed with how much subjective information was out there. Most magizines don't re-review a car that they have already tested without some significant changes made to it. Nissan came out with it in 08. Offered a couple different colors for it 09, made some of the options from previous years standard in 10 (in-cabin filter, ect..). There are too many new cars coming out to being "wasting" pages in a car that isn't any different that the one they reviewed a year or 2 ago. If Nissan wants to keep their cars in the mags they will have to up the hp 10 or so ever year, tweak suspenions settings, and hand out face lifts more often.

It is just like in the sport bike world. No matter how good a bike is when it comes out. It may get good reviews the next year if it is unchanged, but by year number 3 it is the "red headed step child" and will be all but forgotten even in the shootout issues.

It was featured on Top Gear UK. What more can you ask for. There's only so much you can talk about a car that has been on the market for 3 years without significant changes. You don't hear a lot about most sports cars in general unless its new or they want to compare it to something new.

G37 brotha!!

The G37 rings more of a sport luxury coupe, especially considering Infiniti is the luxury brand... I guess "sporty" goes a long way in defining a car.

Does anyone who has driven an Altima think its really a competitor to the Z?? I love the Altima...for my wife ..whenever she does the shopping or brings the grand kids to school.. its nice and smooth..with a pleasant back seat...very practical.. It never bothers anyone ...nor does it give anyone a roller-coaster like thrill-ride like at the amusement park.. its more like the paddle boats .. . it has everything.. except of course BALLS!!, So if the Altima is a winner here, obviously this is not the right category for the Z to be competing..

Not at all. There is no competition. I guess the Altima coupe 3.5 would be Nissan's sporty alternative to those who want a Z, but need 4 seats. Other than that, they are completely different. I have driven both.

sonic370

is the 3.5 motor that is in the altima the same one that was in the 350z.
if so that would make it kind of bad xss

I believe its a less tuned version of the VQ35DE that was in the 03-06 350Z. It has less power in a heavier car, so its not actually that awesome.

from the list of cars, the mustang must be the fastest and the fiat the slowest

Zaggeron

In a straight line I'd put my money on the Challenger SRT.

i am pretty sure the mustang 5.0 would out accelerate the srt8 because i've seen so many videos on youtube where it had done so.

however you are right about the top speed. according to the info i found on the web, the 5.0's top speed is 147 mph and the srt8's top speed is 180 mph.

Damn limiters!

I think the new SRT8 392 could be faster in a straight line. I've seen some low-mid 12s thrown around for that car. Pretty crazy considering it weighs 4200lbs!
