2013 Car and Driver Lightning Lap

Z vs 135 vx Rx8 and Solstice---

--Z-Power Prodigy

The 370Z lacked the Mazda’s light touch and finesse, but its combination of grip, agility, and V-6 power made it the undisputed king of the racetrack.

But ample power and a serious sports-car skill set trump those concerns. As does aggressive styling that looks even more purposeful than that of the 350Z. Add a gorgeous interior that maintains the fighter-cockpit feel of the 350 but with much better materials. Improved storage, including the addition of a glove box. Seats rivaling the BMW’s for support and comfort.

It’s a package that’s hard to resist, particularly with the lowest base price in this group and an as-tested ticket that includes a gotta-have array of goodies. The best sports car on the planet for the money? Damn right--

First Place

I read a quick review of the Z for 2013 on C&D online - You would think its the worst car Nissan makes now lol!! Schizo.
