What's weakest performance thing about 350Z?
 

350z has so many good features...huge torque, big power, good handling.
But what's the worst performance feature?

My opinion: non-brembo factory front brakes. Gotta upgrade this to BBK then Z his 10 times more fun.

you really think brakes are the worst feature? The stock Z has phenomenal brakes according to pretty much anyone ive talked to including me. Im sure big brakes will improve that but that is by far a "weak" point. Weight is the worst performance feature of our Z, too heavy or maybe factory tire width.

Heavy weight create bad brakes

do you own a Z?

Worst feature is the OEM POS TIRES!

I agree, if the Z was around 2,800lbs it would be so much more fun then it is already now. And everyone I have talked to has agreed that the Z comes with great non-brembo brakes. I have a friend who tracks his Z all summer and he doesn't have brembo brakes. He is ususally at the tops of the standings.

The BOSE stereo

Since the Bose stereo is not performance related can I say the noisy tranny?

I would say that the weakest performing aspect of the Z is the weight as well...


However.... the weakest part of the Z i would have to say is the paint.

+1 I agree with ya'll with the Bose Stereo, Stock Potenza's tires and weight.

1. The weight.

Since my tranny is not noisy, tires were recently upgraded via manufacturers warranty and dont have the Bose ( had it in the 350ZX and Maxima - loved it ) - I would like to say I feel it is too sluggish getting out of 1st into 2nd ( am I shifting wrong?? I have had a number of manuals over the years, including the 300ZX (5 speed) - which I thought was much easier from first to 2nd. I dont really feel the 6 speed has that much over the 5 speed - I had the 350 to 125 a couple times - no problem beating Mercedes on the freeway ) Most cars were afraid to challenge me.

the weakest performance thingabou tthe z would have to be... the lack of adjustments available for performance alignment.
no way to change front caster
very minimal ammounts of rear toe change...
etc...

weight/tires

1. weight
2. problematic trannies
3. weak paint
4. weight....oh yeah :)

shave off 400lbs and this car would shine even more

weight
 

Weak paint is a problem. But I'm not sure we want them too light. Weight does add to stability and safety to a point.

The performance of the d@mn door on the center console compartment in the dash. (I don't have a navigation system).

No matter how I push the button, it takes me several tries to open it. :rolleyes:

i dunno...i'm not impressed with the brakes...but Zs with brembos are uber fun....

weight- 3k lbs flat would be better

I know exactly what you mean, so you try different things like making sure to press it down all the way and hold it there for a sec, or pressing the button in a differnt spot...its annoying.
