My '06 C6 Z06 was quiet. The fixed roof did not creak at all. Considering the mediocre interior materials, I was surprised the car was so rattle-free. I had the car for a year and a half and put...

IMO, the next gen Z needs some work in a few areas. 1) a sweeter engine sound/less harshness at high revs. 2) a clutch with smoother engagement and a more natural feel...currently, the pedal feels...

Sometimes, yes. I go 3rd to 5th, too. Also 1st to 3rd if just slowly accelerating from rest. Yet, for the most part, I do not skip gears when accelerating.

Very true. I've had Porsches, too. There is no comparison in the engine department. Porsche engines rev strong and smooth, as do engines by many other marques. Why Nissan can't get this...

Overall, I like the 370. The ride is firm without being harsh, the chassis is solid, the interior and exterior are well done, shifter's decent, etc. However, I do agree with the reviews regarding...

IIRC, after the ignition is turned off, the power windows will still work for a little while (maybe 30 seconds or so). There's no need to turn (push) the ignition to ON. However, if you open the...

SRM also helps smooth out upshifting. It won't let the revs fall below the rpm that the next gear requires at the given road speed . So, the driver can take more time completing the shift without...

Less weight than the Z's clutch? IMO, the Z's clutch pedal is way too light for a performance car. The MS3's clutch must be ridiculously light.

You sure about that? The car is sold here and will ultimately get crushed here. You never know where the paint will end up if it's no longer intact. Then there's recycling issues. They got rid of...

Congrats! As long as you're happy with the trade, that's all that matters. The Corvette and Z are both nice cars, really can't go wrong with either. Hope the dealer makes good on the paint issues....

My point was, if planned properly, Nissan could offer a Z with V8 power for a price similar to the Corvette's, and it would be an altogether nicer car. I wasn't suggesting Nissan take the current...
