Default Nice Review on the Z

Check out this 5th gear review of the Z. I didn't know the 0 to 60 is quicker than a Porsche Cayman.

That'd be FIFTH GEAR, not Top Gear. I think Clarkson has already made it very clear that he hates the Z.

you're right he does hate the Z. Oh well his loss. The only car that I have ever seen that made him happy was the chevy corvette Z06 and the Mercedes SL500

Though a repost, I never commented on the old one, so I will here

I first saw this vid when I was shopping/waiting to buy my 07 this past summer. I was also considering a G35C at the time, and this vid played a part in keeping me in the Z family. I like her description of the new engine and what not, but she complains about the shift light... well, you can set the light to blink at 8100 RPM and you will never see it unless you are blowing your engine up! So there, she has nothing to complain about.

I am going to watch it again, just for old times sake!

Wish we had headlight washers( most useless feature) but at least an integrated fob like europe. Wish all the Z's always came with the 07 engine, makes such a huge difference, i know the aftermarket parts arent out there as much but the performance is huge. Stock times were drasticly reduced. No offense to you older Z owners but I dont think our car ever got the respect it deserved because of the older engine. I know the new engine claims like 6hp over the rev up, but we all know its more. That and i think they switched the tires in 06?...

Accordaleer do you know of a place in the new jersey area where i can take my 07 z for a wheel alignment? most places dont have the 07 specs to do a wheel alignment, i dont want to take it to the dealer, i have a feeling they will give me an excuse if some other parts break that is under warranty, i hit a curve and i had to replace 2 rear radius rods and now i need to do wheel alignment because it feels like its fishtailing.

thanks

Damn in the older review it sounds like she is going to have an orgasm while driving the Z. AWESOME Now imagine what the 07 would do to that TT.
