yea... im just waiting for that one azzhole kid that keys my entire car to come along so i can claim insurance and get my DREAM paint.

 

ditto......your absolutely right.. .....the Z's standard factory brakes had excellent rating according to R&T, it was rated at 114ft. from 60 to 0. The G35 couple factory brakes was even better at 112ft. As a matter of fact, the G35 beats the ferrari F430 by a foot from 60 to 0. Nissan's factory brakes are second to none in the industry....according to Motortrend...their behemoth SUV Armada stops 20ft shorter (130ft.)from 60 to 0 than GM's Hummer H2 (150ft.)

 

hahaha this guy made me laugh!! hahaha yaaa put on some brembos maaan then ur car will be fun!! haha their stop times are 2 feet apart!! YA 2 FEETT !! HAHA THATS TONS OF FUN !!

 

in just about 99% of sports car out there the weight is probably always the weaking peformance attribute

 

.

 

Z = Porky Pig

The weight is the biggest issue!

 

Definatley the POS bose crap bullsh*t and the AC!!
My maxima's ac was ridiculously cold, you could see it blowing out the vents

 

Oh yea, I do dislike the look of the stock breaks. I haven't really tested the breaking power yet, but I do think the breaks should have been more appealing--larger (painted) calipers, discs. Ohh, and the auto A/C...i really dislike this feature! Besides that, looking through the rearview mirror isn't much fun either. But i guess these are all minor annoyances really..

 

I dont like the drive by wire accelerator. The response is unpredictable. If it were a direct mechanical linkage, the respsonse would be instant and the shift points a little more predictable.

P.S. I have an AT wich might help understand the above statement.

I also have the same complaint with my 05 Xterra.

 

Tranny is fine (only have 4400 miles though)
Tires (OK) had worse...

It is weight all the way for worse aspect of a sports car.

 

Connecting rods of the VQ make it not 100% low-boost safe...

 

Weight but to be honest when driving you could never tell its 3200 lbs

 

I would have to go with weight as well

 

Oh for another cup holder! Perhaps nearer the driver?? When I get a cup in one hand and a cell phone in the other I drive in fear! ( oh yes, have to shift with that cup in hand too!)

 

This thread should be turned into a poll. Weight or Tires? What's the weakest link?
I'd say oem tires. Pretty darty car (tracked it once for 7 hours open track time) for 3200 lbs.

 

+1 I totally agree with you on that 1!

 

Hey, I have noticeably different response times - but never thought about it seriously until this post. Is this something that can be fine tuned at the dealorship?? Perhaps I should ask the dealor? LOL

 

You have a MT...don't worry about it. It's all good.

 

me too

 

weight, crappy tires, non brembo brakes (if your spending upwards of $25k for a car u should be gettin brembo's no matter what model, i mean damn the EVO RS gets brembo's and they used to not even have power windows)
