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

Nismodean

In response to the Mustang not being a pig, I feel it's a horse with the two hind legs cut off!

But seriously, lets cut the crap about Mustang vs. Z. Get two COMPETENT every day (for the sake of reality, none of us are the Stig...) drivers with stock or relatively stock cars and romp them on the track to see who performs better.

This would make the most awesomest show on SPEED.

There was something similar on Discovery HD Theatre called "Motorsport Ranch." It was a great concept, but didn't have that polish of shows like Top Gear. I guess the closet thing would be Pinks, but drag racing gets boring pretty quick. I also hated how that show had a commercial every five minutes, .

Do real sports cars lose in handlin to a grocery getter, and a MUSTANG with a solid rear axle? Because if that is a real sports car, I don't want one.

Cmike2780

You started it.

All I'm saying is, there's a reason mr. Scca say down with mr & mrs Nissan to tell them that their precious little boy would need to be held back a grade, and it wasnt because he was beating up the evos.

Davey

You don't actually own either of these cars, do you?

You must have a sweet FORZA garage, bro.

Cmike2780

No need to get defensive, lol. I'm a big fan of the Evo.

Do not forget. Only the Boss 302 with Leguna Seca Package has no rear seat so it can be defined as a real sports car.

Yeah, you are right, for an average to poor driver, the EVO wins because the car drives itself.

You mean how the EVO put down a slower lap time than the Z, with or without the straights?

evoAXE

Means about as much as the z losing to the mustang, right?

Davey

Not really, because the Z is down 80 HP and tied the GT minus the straights... So that says they're both faster than the EVO.

When you compare them based on facts and not subjective categories like "fun to drive, because the VDC will let you get away with having zero talent" then it's clear that the GT was the fastest car, the Z was second, and the Evo was third. Throw out the straightaways to take away the power/weight advantage of the GT and you have the GT and Z tied, but the Evo is still trailing.
