the ride

LS WHAT · 10-21-2008, 01:37 AM

I wonder how the ride quality will be on the 370? I know my car and the 350's are kinda rough on less then nice roads but ever the o'l folks like sport cars. This will be my last manual trans car and I like the 3x0's, altima's and the maxi's but am leaning to the lincoln's and the caddy's but this is 10-15 yrs down the road.

I think they will try to make it smooth yet well handling. My friend has a BMW and it handles just like or better than 350z. It does it so smoothly while the Z is a little harsh. I personally like it my car to be a little stiff. That's why I would like to own a Elise sometime in my life

Well, now that you bring caddy into the equation, I gotta admit that new CTS looks absolutely amazing

. If I was in a market to buy a family sedan, i'd buy the CTS in a heartbeat.

I just hope they get it right the first time. I never drove/rode in one but I know the early 350Z's were a bit bouncy and had tire feathering.

Yeah, I didn't want to be the first one on here to ask about ride quality on a dedicated sports car, for the fear of being blasted by the hardcore track racing guys. But yeah, even though the 370z is a sports car with a firm suspension, I would like the ride to be comfortable at moderate speeds. Atleast in the touring version. Friend of mine has a 328i, and it seems to get it just right.

My grandma has that cadillac black. LOL...
I think the 370z will bring all the boys to the yard?
LMAO... Don't shoot me for saying that!
The ride is going to be much more comfortable, a little bit faster, more control!

I hope the ride is well controlled, not too much abrupt vertical movement. I don't mind if it rides HARD, it is a 2 seat sports car first and foremost, but I do hope it doesn't ride HARSH. It's a small distinction I guess, but it's one I'm looking for.
