Motorweek Sucks
 

Title says it all.



Actually, looks like they've got the 370z this Friday. It will, like all of their reviews suck very badly, but I will still watch it.

good find though



they really give crapy reviews as in...not much info

those reviews are for 90 year old buick drivers.

I still watch it if there is a decent car involved. :)

It's so Pro BMW.......... that's why I don't like Motorweek

Hopefully they will test 7AT - doubt it. Also, let's pray they don't get some geriatric driver who gets 6 sec 0-60 runs as they did with G37 coupe last year...

Hopefully

i usually compare the numbers that they get ie 1/4 mi, braking, slalom. their reviews are more geared toward the conservative driver so im not looking foward to much praise.

I count the hours to Goss' Garage every week!! :drama:

Thanks for the heads up!

^^^ wow...Goss's garage has some good info but only lasts like 3 mins

Motorweek used to be very in depth, talking about technical details that would leave my wife saying "dual overhead what???" but then at some point it went to "how many cup holders does this minivan have?"

^^ and how to clean cup holders with the right vacuum attachment

They just posted info:

MotorWeek: Road Test

0-60 mph: 5.1 seconds

1/4 mile: 13.7 seconds @ 105 mph

Motorweek lauded praises upon the 370Z.

I didn't watch the show, but according to the article it seems they tested a Touring model w/ Sport. Almost all the car mags tested a Base w/ Sport. So it's good to know that a Touring, which is about 46 lbs heavier than the Base, still achieves similar numbers.

I still like MotorTrends 4.7 secs to 60 and 13.3 1/4 mi the best. Hoping when the comparison tests begin other mags will get similar times.

damn...i missed it today....i slept in



does it replay tomorrow?? i think it used to

"The Nissan 370Z is much more than just retro-cool. It rockets back to what sport cars were meant to be: Eye catching and nothing but fun to drive. It is, in a word , amazing!"

Nice.

If Motorweek gets a 5.1 0-60, that's good news. They tend to be about .2 sec off of their times compared to most. I'd like to know what elevation they test at. That could well be the difference.

i use to live in maryland where they test and are located... it is in owens mills if i remember correctly... couldn't be more than 1,000 above msl, prob less

somewhere around here

Owings Mills, MD, 21117 - Google Maps

1000 ft = about a .1 loss.

A really cool online calculator that is a bit more refined than most:
