It's a minor quibble. A foot-note, really. Quite pleased with the 370Z. If I could change anything, it would be the suspension and Nissan's silly 53/47 bias. It's horrible for a car this nice, otherwise.

I'm pretty pleased with my VQ37. It's not as smooth as my LS1 or LS7 were, but it is not bad, either. It just has a different temperament. I like it, personally. It feels identical to my LS1 in every way, but it is much more efficient at lower throttle input. Better mileage cruising around the city, and when you sit in traffic idling, it actually runs cooler than if you were cruising at 70. Kinda neat. It's my first car that has ever been like that. I credit the unique valvetrain arrangement for the low rpm/throttle efficiency.

Quality of vehicles has gone opposite for me. Nissan > Ford > GM. Anyway, change dealers. Your brother's dealer is full of fail treating you guys that way. |

The good news is, the Z's balance is perfect for laps around a 200' skidpad at part throttle Last edited by Red__Zed; 09-05-2012 at 04:32 PM. |

yup, why do you want 50/50 weight distribution coming out of the corner? I would rather take a mid engine corner and take advantage of its braking and turn-in too

50/50 on entry and through the center is where its at. The marketing guys just got a hold of the 53/47 thing and ran with it.
