On the contrary, I find it very entertaining. ModShack hit the nail on the head. Why are folks in here who don't own a Z bashing it and other sports cars? I challenge the martyrs to identify the PERFECT sports car currently available for a similar price? Then they can go hang out in that forum group and priase the hell out of it!

For those that are on the fence I'll make it real simple. If you aren't planning to track the car, just buy it. The car will never go into limp mode on the street, stick to premium synthetic oil and it will handle the 260F you occasionally see in hard driving easily.

If you do track your car, well, you've got some tough choices to make. The 370Z is still the best value for money sports car out there, even with its shortcomings. Add the oil cooler and forget that you ever had a warranty, go to town with mods ... or pay $20K-$30K more for a real sports car.

It's lame to bash, but I don't think people should be flamed for being on the fence. The gauge did not stop climbing past 260 on my test drive, and I do track. If Nissan handled the situation like BMW and fixed the issue and retroactively addressed the earlier buyers, I am sure nobody would complain having one of these put on by Nissan

For the sake of their reputation(that is mostly what BMW have) just retrofit oil coolers on sold Zeds and factory install them on new Zed's. If Nissan has to increase price by approx $300, then so be it. Nissan do not "further"? tarnish your good name/products.
