350Z Deadliest Car of 2006-2009
 

Forgive me if already posted but I did search.

The Most And Least Died-In Vehicles Of 2006-2009 | The Truth About Cars

I think this has a lot to do with demographic and not the car. A commenter in the article noted that the G35 and/or the G37 weren't even listed.

Oh well, I'm not getting rid of mine.

Driving like an asshat will get you killed no matter what you drive. :)

Could not have said it any better.

looks like a lot of asshats drive Nissans because they top the list! :D

In those days, the 350z's were high quality cars that cost the same as a low quality shyt-box stang. It was just as fast and the only other respectable "fast RWD's" was the M3, GTO and corvette which cost a lot more ($33k-$50k. The z had performance not too far behind those cars and were really cheap.
Most entry 350z's could be had for less than $25k new or used with all options.

The number of azzhats in the Z reflect the lack of good sports cars at the time that were affordable. Rx-8's took a long time to get respect as well. It was considered a downgrade from the Rx-7.

Nissan's just don't do so hot in crashes I don't think, at least, violent crashes. I have NEVER seen anything but Nissans literally ripped into front and rear pieces in crashes on public roads.

That said, the 350Z was the most powerful, closest to "neutral" weighted car available in its price-bracket for that time. It has all the elements required to cause issues.

Easy come easy go. You watch them live fast you watch them die slow. Whatever.

A few years back a guy that was putting tires on my Eclipse, who drove a 350Z, at a Tires Plus told me he was racing a guy on Hwy 60 in Hillsboro county Fl doing 130+ with a donut spare on the front of the car. The spare was on the car in the parking lot and watching him drive other peoples cars around the building I believed his story. :eek:

I took a pretty nasty hit in my 09. I came out with nothing wrong except severe eye irritation from the airbag. A friend of mine was hit in a maxima by a semi. the car hot the wall and his car flipped over 5x. He walked out with nothing more than a bruised shoulder.

Both instances the cars were totalled, but the cabins were untouched . Thats what matters most.

my 9yr old G which shares the same chassis is still scratchless...

S2000 felt better shifting and more secure turning

Looks like you guys are lucky. Highest chance of dying is in a Nissan. Doesn't mean you WILL die.

You can buy a Corvette and die from old age too
