"Brembo brakes standard on the Track model and optional on other models"

I think someone forgot to inform Nissan the Brembos are optional on other models..

That really is a great article!

“It’s really kind of amazing. This car is far stronger than my old Zs and the handling is just unbelievable. The turn-in is so responsive, far better than anything I had. And the brakes, much better. The suspension is just as stiff as the Safari suspension we had on the rally car. And that sound... that’s the Z sound, for sure.”

Great article, but where was their "independent" testing for stats?

TXSTYLE,

I wondered too, where is the numbers? One guess, they saved it for the upcoming print version. Well, the online version is free and they have to make money some how.

So far 3 articles, C&D, Sport Z and AutoWeek, all extremely positive in my view.

Hmmmm? Even sportsZ is quoting/relying on Car & Drivers stats? Is C&D the only independent testers so far for the 350Z? And more importantly, I thought that was a 'pre-pro" car? ......

Matt, just create an email address on yahoo or hotmail for spammers. Use that email addy when joining sites you don't want spam from, and use your real email address otherwise....
