Default New Car and Driver review of the 370z... oil temp fail!

The new Car and Driver has a "Best Handling Car under $40k" article. Out of 6 cars, our 370z came in 4th place, mostly because of poor braking performance according to the article (yes it had the Sport package).

To add insult to injury... the 370z's oil temp spiked to 290 deg on the test track and sent it into low power mode, the *only* car of the test group to overheat.

How embarrassing for the only purpose-built sports car of the test group to overheat on the track and have to limp back to the pits...

C'mon Nissan...
