Nissan 370Z Forum  

370z rates nearly last on CR's owner satisfaction survey

A little off-topic, but the issue of power+speed keeps coming up. I frequently put this in perspective by thinking of the classic muscle car heroes...Hemis, 427s, etc... I test drove

I test drove the new Murano the other day and for Christsakes it's 0-60 is equivalent with those legends...while it might mean a lot today...years from now the Z is going to stand out from all of these cars, not because of its power/speed, but because of it's uniqueness

Uhhhh...Cuz its a cost cutted POS! U have to install an oil cooler to drive it like a sports car. U have to upgrade the OEM CSC to a metal unit. U have to upgrade the clutch/brake hydraulic fluid to DOT 4 to keep it from boiling! U have to install a real rear LSD if u wanna put the power down...LOL! The typical Jo Blo ain't gonna do this, so that's why its close to fawk'n last!

I quite like my car. Keep looking for that perfect car. It doesn't exist, even Porsche owners complain. Example: 240Z. It wasn't remotely close to perfect in its day, and unless you own one, it takes a stretch to think of what was wrong with it. 25-30 years down the road, the same will be true. To people with their bitches and gripes, I say, stop thinking negatively and just enjoy the damn thing while you have it. Your grandkids are going to ask why you got rid of it anyways and call you a fool.
