The 370z does not qualify for the program because it's EPA-rated, combined fuel economy is "only" 21 mpg. In order to qualify, the new car has to get at least 22 mpg combined.

I don't have a Z, although I'm considering it...there are few things more annoying than buying a new car that turns out to be a rattletrap. My first new car was a '91 T-Bird that had tons of rattles...

It'd be nice if the Camaro was based on a low-cost version of the Corvette platform, instead of being designed from what is basically a full-size-sedan chassis. But the Corvette people would scream...

Wish it was smaller & lighter, more like the 4th gens (I owned two of those). But I'm looking at a pic of Imperial Blue Metallic, with the RS pkg (black rims and HIDs) and I can hear it calling me...

One of the most encouraging things about the new Z, is that at least so far, there have not been too many rattles or squeaks reported here. I'm hoping it will stay that way, nothing is more...

Did you get a chance to "test" the base brakes? Also, did it seem like there was a lot of tire or road noise with the base tires? Some reviews have noted a lot of road and tire noise on the sport...

Well I'm no expert but people generally need a wideband O2 sensor to measure the A/F ratio accurately. This is what dyno shops use for measuring A/F ratio during dyno runs.

Most modern cars are set to run rich (at full throttle) because it's safer for the engine and in some cases, safer for the pollution controls. With a rich mixture there is less risk of damaging...

What colors would you like to see on the Z?

The 7 colors currently available, well, they don't do a whole lot for me. I think PG is my favorite. I strongly prefer sparkly metallics to "flat" colors, and I prefer darker shades over bright...

GM's skip shift is very easy to defeat/disable. At least it has always been that way on the Camaro/Firebird, Corvette, and GTO. That alone should not keep you from considering the G8 GXP. The...

Great pics, really shows off how the PG color varies in different light!

I'd like to see a review of how well the stock (base model) brakes work and how badly they fade. Even the stock 12" brakes on the Z ought to work a heck of a lot better than the 11" brakes on my...

Option prices/packages seem really high

Kudos to Nissan for keeping the base price under 30k, but I've got to say that the option prices for the Touring and Sport packages really seems out of line, IMHO.

I'll start with the Sport...
