Although most of you are saying "Hmm, when I was in HS... a 3 out of 10 would equate to an F"...
You are wrong. They are in Britain, so that automatically means it will be ****ed up

The car was made for someone reasonably physically fit... not a fat bloated pansy **** like that guy. The car "seemed slow" because he needs to shed about a hundred pounds. The more I listened to the "annoying drone" of his voice, the more I wanted to punch the smug bastard in the face.
The guy's comments were misleading. The engine is a Nissan engine. Renault has a partnership with Nissan and has ownership of 44% of the company.

That brit was trashing the Z like it was rubbish and a ghastly car at that...Shall we drive this bloody car......
Wow he did not like any of the Z's complaining about the noise and the looks. Nothing about the car impressed him at all.

Huh. He bashed EVERYTHING. I wish he would've compared it to what he THOUGHT was a good sportscar. It's hilarious that he talked smack about the VQ. Its been regarded as one of the best V6's in the WORLD since its inception. ******.

That guy sucks more than a Hoover vacuum runnin off 220V.
Lets be honest, Its a $30k sports car. It isnt a lambo or ferrari, but the Z looks great, handles well, and goes fast. What more does that f'ing idiot want.
The only thing I agree with him on is that damn sunglass holder. Mine NEVER opens without feeling like it is about to break.

I was just looking at an old road and track, July 2002.
Mini cooper = .79 lateral G's
FI Mrlaren = .86 lateral G's (price = $890,000)
Most test I have seen for a 350Z is .89 lateral G's. Ou car is not that bad after all!
