Car and Driver: We're Ranked DEAD last

RicerX · 12-16-2014, 12:26 PM

I'm the only one that cross-shopped a Raptor and a Z apparently. Thanks, Car and Driver! If it weren't for your SCIENCE I may never have made my purchasing decision.

I eagerly anticipate their statistics in next month's magazine: Coefficient of Drag and Jeep Wranglers.

Lol,it's funny you say that. I was actually looking at raptors as well before getting the z. Also looked into the g37s. Raptors look great and seem to have good reviews,but unfortunately reflect in there price as well!

I never said i "cared" about the volumetric efficiency of the 370z. I just found it amusing that we're last, including supercars and the like.

...Man, the match hit the gasoline quick on this one.

i like to WOT and redline and squirt about a doller worth of gas everytime i launch.

maybe that's why i was at 16l/100km prior to parking...

for the americans, that's close to 15m pg or 14.7 mpg to be exact :P
