I've got no idea what you're talking about.

Are you quoting a review or something?

Maybe he's asking if anyone has heard if there are any rattles or squeaks in the 350Z? (Just a guess.) We need an interpreter here! king, what is your native language? Maybe if you post in that, someone can translate to English for us.

This is merely a stab in the dark but I think King is referring to the fact that one or two of the relevant articles/reviews mentioned something about subtle creaking or rattling noises that are audible from the cabin. The journalist(s) attributed this to the taut sport suspension shared by all models. I'm not sure if I buy it though. I'd have to personally drive a finalized production model before passing any serious judgement. Lest we forget, other motor journalists have already praised the 350's ability to gobble up inconsistent surfaces without the slightest hint of chattering from the chassis-in other words, although the suspension is stiff, (they claim) it doesn't jar you.


In any case, King has adverdently or inadverdently produced some constructive fodder for our purposes.

Maybe its some kind of slang I'm not familiar with, like "sick" or "pimp."

NIZL: you out there? Is it slang, or just Canadian?
