Could it use some improvement, of course, but to call it a turd is going a little overboard IMO as no matter what brand or model of sports car that you choose out there, there is always going to be someone that thinks that the engineers could have done something better on the car or wish that one particular aspect of the car could use some improvement.
Yeah "TURD"was pretty strong word.
But....
-failed CSC will ruin your day
-failed steering lock will strand you in the rain and ruin your day
-non functioning hatch from weak springs will annoy you every time you fail to get your hatch open
-no oil cooler will force you into limp mode the minute you try to drive like a sports car (ruin your track day)
-no brake cooling will put you into the wall at a track (I didnt include this in my must list but i thought it might come up

I LOVE my 370! but it was a Diamond in the rough stock. Turd? okay maybe not, but definitely not what it should be from factory.

Sorry if I offended this was meant to be a "make it better thread not a thread. I appologize to you and your Z
