I heard they were supposed to test a Nismo but they couldn't catch it. The sparrow's are much easier to get ahold of.




Glad to see some good times and a good review out of MT.

I did not know I was supposed to calculate my dollar-to-grin factor. I have not kept track of my grins.

Does anyone know where I could find a formula to calculate this, going back to last July? :ugh2:

Oh, and for the record Motor Trend, rocket speeds are somewhere in the 20,000 - 40,000 mph. So not even a GT-R, Viper, Steve's Mustang or a P-car would be "a rocket". :stirthepot:

I know I'm happy no matter what they're review is. However, I think all the Z's should come with the Nismo brake pads.

That was actually an option, why didn't you get it?

They tested a fully loaded coupe and talked about its MSRP.

I mean, beside the fact that you can get a fully loaded coupe for WELL under 42k, you can get a base no-frills Z for under 30k if you know how to deal.

But it is funny that 0-60 in under 5 and 1/4 mile in 13 is considered slow these days.

I don't even bother pondering car mag articles anymore. If this was a german mark. They would be so impressed with much less stats. Whenever the car names are Asian, they always nitpick small stuff. The only thing I can agree with is touring sticker shock. Not much is added for an extra 4k. I do agree on its base,sport and nav pricing.

Steve's mustang just needs a unicorn blood and horse pop injection and it should be able to reach those speeds :icon17:

There is always going to be haters!!! You know how it goes...

I thought the article was pretty positive in general, at least they made sure to emphasize how much value you get for your money with the Z which is likely its greatest attribute.

Yeah, this writer didn't do his homework. Or he just listened to the dumb Nissan sales people who probably said that. It amazes me how car salesmen can know less about their cars than potential customers.

I have the 40th. They weren't any options dude. I was just saying that I think it should've been a standard rather than an option.
