Based on responses so far, we won't have a result in November, but we'll probably have a partial result in February. It's going to be very close.

If it looks like a sports car, but doesn't drive like a sports car, then it's not a sports car.

I'm not sure anyone planning a hybrid sports car has really thought it through.

Forget the cost of the car. How much does it cost to insure a 370Z driven by a 17-year-old in Boston?

Though I suppose that, as far as the ins co is concerned, the car might be somewhere else...

Looks like we'll have results in November for the Genesis Coupe, Porsche Boxster, and others, but probably not for the 370Z unless a high percentage of those signed up to participate respond to the...

Good point. The survey includes a question on air temp / AC use. It's not currently possible to filter results by this variable, because it's not a major variable for most cars. For hybrids, though,...

This is pretty much my take. I find it odd that so many people pay so much attention to JC's evaluations when the top priority is clearly entertainment.

Then again, many people now get their news...

Beyond hypermiling in a Z, I don't get concepts for hybrid and/or diesel sports cars. Sports car owners tend to drive them fewer miles per year than the owners of other cars.

These photos remind me of how badly I wanted a 300ZX when it arrived in 1989. Most attractive Japanese car up to that point, and not surpassed in the years since. Doesn't look a bit dated 20 years...

He's already made a concession for driveability and reliability by aiming for a mere 750hp. Otherwise he'd be shooting for 1000.

Any time. You had a great post. Just a bit surprised that anyone might think a modded 13+ year-old car might be a suitable daily driver.

I doubt they can keep your deposit, regardless. They might say they can, but in every case I've heard of if you push for the deposit back, they have to return it.

To summarize that last post: if the car will be your daily driver, get the 370Z.

No, rate as in frequency, how often a car repairs a repair. Maybe I should have said "repair frequency"?

Thanks for pointing this out.

Interesting information, but not collected in a way that you can gauge repair frequencies.

Five 370Z owners signed up so far. A decent start, but more needed to include it in the survey.

Damn, that's smokin' hot, nearly bankrupt or not. It's not even my kind of car, and I'm tempted. Then again, base MSRP is $31,540, so it sounds like your friend might not be a numbers guy.

Haven't had a chance to drive a 370Z yet. Is the clutch effort still fairly high?

If so, that would explain a tired leg. Can't say I've ever had to shift so much that my arm got tired.
