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

Snakes709

I'll admit, im not the best driver on the track. I took the Z on the track 3 times and i only been to the track once with the evo. So in no way am I pro. That being said, you take the AWD vs. RWD and the systems out of the picture, you got 2 cars, pretty much the same price but the Z being a V6 sports car, going against each other. Which car can hold up better on the track? iiunno anything about the MR having issues with the tranny because I own a GSR. However if it is having issues its just as much ******** as the 370z having oil temps. But stock for stock at my local track i can keep the rpms alot higher and have more power coming out of the turns then i could in the Z do to heating issues. Also i can brake a hell of alot harder/faster in the Evo as well.

I'm not going to seat here and beat a dead horse...think thats been done already. Like i said, if you want a nice weekend car or a car to mod...sure the 370z is a nice car. But for what i needed it for, the 370z was garbage. Having 2 seats sucked ***, couldnt carry my military kit at all (had to do 4 trips to the base to get my gear to my unit for deployment), stock wise it was useless on the track and the VDC system was garbage. Not to mention the car was a damn hit and run magnent.

The Evo on the other hand can hold all my military kit, has 4 doors and can seat 5 people, it has no issues on the track and the S-AWD is amazing. Even when i turn it off the car still reacts in a well behaved manner. Also i like having something not everyone has. As each month goes by i see more and more 370z. I rarely see Evo's on the street unless we are all meeting up or going to the track.
