Matt Farah's in a NISMO
 

Twitter / TheSmokingTire: Time for the NISMO Z! ...

Seems Matt Farah's shooting something for either The Smoking Tire or for Drive channel's "Tuned" involving a Nismo.

Can't wait to see what it is :)

I know Matt Farah, met him numerous times, cool guy. That's a 2013 Nismo.

read the last two replies in the bottm!!!!

I don't know who that is.:ugh2:

Saw his comment. Wowzers, someone's a negative nancy, lol.

Not familiar with him, but based on his few comments, he seems like a total dickhole.

is it really that bad i made a thread on it because i really like this car and i want to buy it but i hear bad reviews from left to right

i never met him but i have seen some of his reviews, their not bad at all i dont know why hes hating on the z

No.

The biggest debate is whether the Nismo version is worth the extra $$$ relative to a non-Nismo + sport with a tune.

The answer is... it depends on how much you plan to spend on mods and how much you like the body kit.

If "lots" for the first and "not especially" to the second, then stick with a regular Z.

If "a few things here and there" to the first and "love it!" for the second, go for it.

Also, no 7AT Nismo in the US... so if you want the auto, it's a deal breaker.

I agree completely. ^^

Also, I have seen many reviews done by Matt Farah, but looking at the twitter posts, he seems pretty judgemental about the car. I'd like to know what he thinks is bad about the car. Saying that heel toe is the mark of a good driver is one thing, but why blame Nissan for introducing a technology that will NEVER fail to rev match a shift? Plus, it's defeatable. Best of both worlds.

@TheSmokingTire Are you guys reviewing this car?

@Gawl128 No, not worth my words. It sucked.


=\

Yeah, he is a douchebag.

Though, he may be correct that it's "real driving" there are people (like me) that physically can't heel-toe. I can't turn my foot that direction without getting massive surgery on my leg to do so.

I'll take synchro-revmatch thank you very much.

no im not going to spend any money on mods or tunes or bodykits i love the way it looks, i was looking at the manual, which brings my next question i dont know how to drive stick would this car be a good first sick shift car? and fot the people who dont know matt he reviews car on youtube heres his page The Smoking Tire - YouTube

I can't answer that... but, based on posts in other threads it sounds like the answer to your question would be, "not really... but with practice it will all work out and be worth it".

guy sounds like an idiot an has an amazing bias towards euro cars....IMO not worth believing aything he has to say.

Farrah has opinions. This can not be argued.

He did a review of the Stillen 370z. It's on You Tube.

Yea, that review was done before it was cool to hate on the Z.

hes entertaining and everyone is going to have an opinion

Look up C5 vs 2011 Corvette Grand Sport, the C5 is his and his review is all about a modded car vs buying something stock.

If you look at the headlights he put on his C5 (which I believe are NSX headlightss) you'll see that he doesn't have taste as they look like sh*t lol. So any comments he might have of the Z nulled :tup:

Whether or not you like the Synchro Rev Match feature, you have to admit that it is an interesting and unique piece of engineering. And it works, really well.

Name me one other manufacturer that offers it?

Does everyone need it? No. Is it a cool feature that immediately makes everyone who's not an awesome driver better at downshifting? Yes.

Didn't someone say that Porsche or some other German manufacturer was coming out with a similar feature?

But I get what you're saying! :tup::tup:

Yea, Porsche is going to start offering it on the 911s

:iagree:

Why is there all this hate on the 370Z? I never owned one until my wife bought the '09 coupe. Awesome car! Then she traded for the '10 roadster. Awesome car! Like wtf do people see wrong with this car for all the poor reviews its receiving?:shakes head:

I think it's a combination of the 5.0 (cheap, fast, handles well) and Nissan not updating the platform enough.
