I will be putting limited miles on the 370Z myself...

And sadly, it wouldn't be my Daily driver..

I will Track my Car this year and get all the Fun I need out of life..But if is Sad that they build something that supposed to corner and be driven hard. and it starves and overheats...

Oh, and I love Z's...My 300Zx was great, and my 350Z was great.. i feel that my step up to the 370Z, was although looking good, is a step down due to poor R and D...

They did not get it to starve in testing ??? Man...

Sorry, but I just dropped a chunk on the 370Z and my 1971 Z/28 will smoke this car on the Road Course..Quarter mile they are about even and that is WAY COOL for a quiet idling V-6...VERY NICE...

But fuel starve and oil cooling ? Weak...

I have a 2012 model that i pre ordered, it came with an oil cooler, but i am aware that the 2009-2011 370Z's had cooling issues at the track and with some spirited driving. My best advice would be to get an oil cooler from Z1 Motorsports and be happy, the 370Z is well worth the extra investment. Throw in a CBE and you'll be grinning again,trust me, you'll forget the fact you needed one as i'm told by 2009-2011 370Z owners.

I don't see how an oil cooler is supposed to fx the fuel starvation.

Yes, I forgot that part..

Seriously, you should be able to toss the 370Z around and have NO fuel issues..

I have some cloverleafs that I can check, but in the 40 year old car, i can run them over and over and over and over at max grip .....40 year old car with a Holley and a stock Fuel tank..40 year old technology...

ZERO starvation....ZERO cooling problems...

2009 "high performance" 370Z, ???????

No matter how you slice it...It is weak..

But again, it is what it is....Sad.

Thank you...I will just chill out and add the mods later..

The car is way cool with the new interior and exterior, ect...And I do love it.

Also the Z/28 is Highly modified to be able to perform like it does..I spent as much modifying the Camaro as I spent on the whole 370Z..

Being the Wife's Car, I will have to sneak it to the shop to add the Mods..

My Wife hears the words "modifications" and she knows how dangerous i can be with a checkbook and modifying Cars..She still doesn't get me fixing the "Old " Car...

So Thanks, I will wait and prepare my modification attack...STEALTH...She will never know it .....
