2013 Car and Driver Lightning Lap

I agree for the most part. The Z tends to drive more like a muscle car than a lot of people care to admit. You have to wrestle with it

I agree it handles Muscle-car'ish, but the Z still feels way more precise and it's chassis supports that feeling. Like stated a million times before. The z is a jack of all trades a master of none. It's 8/10's precision, 8/10's muscle, 9/10'ths GT. No other car is like this. There are 10/10th cars that can't fit the multi-role like the Z. Most people have a one-track mind and need wish for 10/10th cars. The Z isn't such which leaves it a low selling car for a small market.

Thank you Nissan for thinking about a small special market. But the Z34 was not updated as needed. Just hoping the Z35 gets all the attention the Z34 didn't get.
