I had to take a gigantic poo on the way home today

did the 0-60 in about 4.7 seconds, no transmission issue
redlined every single gear, no oil starvation/overheating
drifted around 3 corners at about 1.00 g, no LSD problem
reversed into my garage at about 35mph, no visibility issues
on the way running into my house a hot chick walking her dog past my house said "wow.. really nice car."

within 6 mins every aspect of the perfect sports car was tested. my huge poo made way for a legitimate 'real world' test of our Z's.. and mine passed with flying colours.

so screw all the haters. Z-fanboy errrrrrday. (gangsta)

I'm convinced that most of the reviewers out there are incapable of accurately reviewing sports cars. When I was doing research before I bought my Z most of the negative reviews make minor issues sound much worse than they really are. Like the engine tones- most reviews claimed that the car makes horrific growls. Personally, I like the way my car sounds. I also happen to disagree with the cars that Consumer Reports and Edmunds rated as the best in class. One of them ranked the Challenger as a top pick. I had the misfortune of driving one the other day, and in my biased opinion I was confused on how it got the title of sports car. It handles worse than a mini van, was the size of a small tank, and felt like it had less power than the Charger. And it was ranked better than the Z?

The magic envelope makes everything possible. I bet with the right dough a bicycle can even top the Z.

i agree, who cares what the everyone else says. if you want a car. preferably a SPORTS car. get it if you want it and like it.

if you dont want this this this and this happening, well then buy the things that prevent it ( Oil Cooler exc) i bought the car purely off of " i want a sports car, i love the feel and the way the 370z looks, THATS my car." other's there are other sports cars out there, but for the money i paid/am paying for it being a SPORTS car, i wanted it to not only have power but LOOK the part. i test drove a mustang v8 with 417 hp and yea it had the power but it didnt have that "look"....... if you know what i mean..... theres a certain look and feel a sports car has when you get in one or see one that lets you know yea thats a sports car...... and for the price the Z was it for me. i bought my car solely of out " i want a sports car. a car with a look and feel of a sports car." Z was fate for me lol

I agree! I've got about $1200 in upgrades in mine and have everything taken care of except for the most extreme race situation. Granted oil cooler is a little week but car didn't go over 230 all summer.

For me, I'd rather put 1.2k in upgrades rather than pay an extra 20- 30k for the car.
