Not good.

I think the 370z sport needs to be on here. It's 150lbs lighter, the 9/10 staggers are perfect for track vs the 9.5/10.5 borderline overkill for taking corners. And the sport Z should be equipped with RE-11's. Since Nissan keeps hiking the prices on the Z for almost no reason. The least they coulda done was upgrade the stock tires.
Z suspension is easily improved cheaply. Unfortunately though. That can't be done for the lightning lap. The Z potential is much higher than whats on paper here. The Nismo is overkill for this type of tracking.

Interesting read.

The only thing that separates the guy with all the charts and the leaser's remorse guy is how they go about trolling.

One has way too much time on his hands and the leaser's remorse guy, well that guy just might have a learning disability I'm afraid.

At the end of the day they both can't move beyond trying to mash the square peg into the round hole.

The z is a moderately priced sports coupe with a moderately compromised design and flaws that come with that approach. Not that hard a concept to get.

A 370 is as faster or faster then a Caymen S. Y spend more on a car thats not faster and is very expensive to maintain.

2013 Cayman is a big step up. Practically a brand new car for 2013 while the Z has stayed mostly the same. The Cayman entered a new performance envelope so you can't really compare them like in years past.

Is the price a big step up? Because the performance vs the z has always been about the price difference, and the Z has always come out on top in bang-for-the-buck. By the time you finish optioning a Cayman S, the damned thing is probably $80 grand or something.

At that point, all I would think about would be 'Stingray' :yum:

I cant speak for cornering G's slaloms braking cause I don't really feel like looking them up (maybe Red_Zed can) but straight line performance is about the same with the new Cayman S maybe being a tad faster. But like you said the car starts at $72,900 and just gets more expensive.

If pointing out that home-made facts don't hold up to scrutiny is trolling, then I guess I'll take my trolling trophy and trollololololol my way home :tup:

I don't have any problem with the Z, I just find it ridiculous when people say things like:



I've never been very good at shutting my mouth when people are making stuff up. Maybe it's a flaw that I should work on, but I like to consider it a feature. And, much like many features....it's kind of a love/hate thing.

It's probably closer to early stage BMW i-Drive and in need of serious refinement, but that sounds hard.



Jungle on the other hand...I'm convinced he loves the Z and just likes hearing other people say nice things about it. His dislikes are too inconsistent to be real. It's really a genius strategy when you think about it:icon17:

It STARTS at 72,900 now? Haha, when you option it, expect to pay about $90K then.

@Red_Zed. I didn't call you out so don't get mad at me. And that quote you posted, when and where is that from? Seems old and from another thread.
