This car looks amazing but Chris Harris review was right, the car is scary to drive in stock form, rough coarse engine sloppy shifting

I did 15/20 on the first 370 and 20/25 on the 2nd. of the two, I prefer the latter, OEM sport wheels and tires. Quote:
Hm. So that means the Z is like having a hot chick who wants it and the FR-S is a bit like jerking off to a picture of one. Somehow, those similes just ring true to me

If I could do it over again I'd do 20/25. There is enough camber stock to prevent any rubbing issues. I wasn't sure when I ordered mine so I erred on the side of caution.

on a different note: As far as "what the Z is", I think Nissan is kind of torn over what they want the modern interpretation to be. For me, the issue isn't necessarily "power" as much as it is power to weight ratio. The 240 and 280 were light cars with a moderate powerplant that drove like a dream. It seems to me that the 350 and 370 have gone away from this paradigm in the effort of chasing the bigger car/bigger engine crowd. I wouldn't mind seeing the Z get quite a bit smaller and keep the same powerplant, or even downsize the engine (in hopes of getting a better front/rear weight ratio) to compensate for less weight. The 370 is a "light" car in modern terms. I think they could make it a bit smaller and still appeal to their intended audience. Gas mileage, agility, and acceleration would all benefit. I don't want to see the Z turn into a BRZ/FRS. I wouldn't mind seeing, though, a 2700-2800 pound machine with 300hp that scoots around like a go-kart. I'd personally prefer that to a 400hp, 3600 pound monster. To me, the smaller/lighter/more agile car is more true to the Z's heritage rather than it turning into a V8 Mustang or M3 fighter. |
