He must not read too well.

 

Yes, the article is all wrong. Can't compare a Nissan to a Porshe, sacrilege that is what that is! The writer is obviously not qualified to have an opinion.
Same thing with the GTR !

 

Riverside Infiniti sells the G37 BBK brakes (Akebono) for a great price. Those are the same that are on the 370Z sports package with a lighter color to it.

You will have to get brackets for the front brakes though.

 

Yet its superior in performance than the 350Z in every possible manner. (The LS3/Z51 Vette should also be superior to the 370Z in every aspect).

GM is doing something right... with the corvette.

 

Maybe Nissan should use leaf springs for its suspension.... GM could have been saved from going broke.

 

I think the opinion the writer was trying to get across was the fact is the Porsche is a slightly better sports car when compared to the 370Z. However, you get what you pay for. And when driving the Porsche he could not justify the additional $35K+ in price.

 

"As good as the engine might be in the 370Z . . . well, I'll come right out and say it — it just doesn't sound good. From outside the car, it lacks the distinctive Chewbacca howl of the 350Z and from inside, it just sounds coarse."

Best quote EVER. Chewbacca howl FTW!

 

My dad just picked up a 2000 911 c4 with the gt3 aero pkg in mint condition with 35k on it for 28,000... ill take that over the cayman any day...

 

Sure, if you're into the universally criticized 996 platform and want basically the same hp with more weight (99-01 911 vs 05-08 Cayman S), along with the power and steering feeling sapping AWD, go for it. I guess for some having the numbers 9-1-1 on the car clearly outweigh having an inferior car.

 

The New Z still amazes me. I thought the 350z was a bargain, but the new specs are amazing. Nissan went two for two taking on and competing with the 911 and the cayman with the GTR and the 370z. That's japanese engineering at its finest.
