If someone hasn't already done so this should be posted on the other Z and G forums for those of us that have accounts.

Just a thought.

This is from the guy who runs cars.com. I'm pretty sure it's a one vote per user i.e. IP address.

I am 100% sure that it is IP based. PLEASE do not waste your time clearing cookies and re-voting form the same computer. It does not work.

VOTE TAHOE, too!

The one thing we have going for us is everyday people IMO are going to vote for the Z. No offense to the Mini, but the Z is blowing it away in the looks department.

true but everyday people voted for the cayman and the z06 im sure, and we still ended up with the win

I guess it's a win-win situation now.

These jacka$$es at cars.com can't give the Z one bit of love.

Mini Cooper vs. Nissan 350Z
Chevy Tahoe vs. BMW X5
Vote now to make sure your favorite goes to the final round. With the lone exception of one vehicle, this is pretty much how we predicted things going, but you can never count out a loyal online fanbase in contests such as these. Good luck

I can't be IP based, there are about 200 computers on our LAN but to the outside world we all have the same ip. The DHCP is what gives the computers their own ips locally, but when we access the internet it’s all the same. It would have to be IP and something else, like cookie. If not, it’s not accurate.

No love whatsoever for the Z is right! Add some comments to help stifle the incessant whining: http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2...mment-64885480

Don't clear cookies and vote again they will just ban your original vote, cars.com said they log the ip's so don't even try it, it won't work.

With that having been said I think Cars.com is going to do everything in thier power to make sure the Z loses or else strips all respect for the Z in the process.

Its sad that they just cant accept the fact that the Z is a great car for a great price. IMO it looks better than all the other cars, is as fast if not faster than others in this comp, and it handles just as good as any of these veh. I'm bias of course. God I love my 350Z. Now go out and show some luv for the Z.
