PMing Jeffblue about NAVTOOL is like the coming of Jesus, if you have a 370z.

Fortunately, PMing Jeffblue for NAVTOOL fixed that problem. PMing Jeffblue was the best thing I've ever done for my 370z.

You two probably have completely different driving styles.

Jeffblue · 10-12-2011, 11:53 AM

clearly the answer to all of our handling complaints is four wheel steering. As evidence by the fact that pretty much no sports cars actually have it anymore

oh and the fact that everyone seems to delete it off their 300zx if it has the hicas (4 wheel steering)

best part is i can just pull up to a parking spot, and move the car completely sideways to parallel park :|

Yeah what on earth was the point of that? I can imagine the rear wheels wreaking havoc on high speed cornering and unsettling the car. It's like going in reverse and turning the wheel at high speed. How did anyone think that's a good idea?

I haven't disabled mine yet... supposedly it helps. idk how exactly it works, but it only has about 1* of steering in either direction.

I also don't put much stock into their times, since it doesn't seem like they were really pushed hard.

Besides, the z may be faster in left hand turns....but the mustang is definitely faster around right hand turns

shadoquad · 10-12-2011, 01:18 PM

That C&D article is shyt anyway.

The Z held an advantage on the Mustang in every objective statistical handling category in the comparison. It was dinged by their opinions on the car "just not being very good" (whatever that means) and having its usual, well known track failures of brakes and oil temps.

If there is a Starbucks within 5 miles of the track, the 5.0 won't be able to finish a lap.

GZ3 · 10-12-2011, 01:12 PM

i cant find any info on the 5.0 they used...was it a base? 3.73?

It was a Brembo equipped GT. Not sure what the gear ratio was.
