I don't get why they throw in the "fun to drive" factor in there. Its too subjective. Also, did anyone notice the lap time. 0.8 seconds behind the Mustang with about 80 hp less at the crank. Still impressive.

C/D Track performance times:
Mustang GT: 92.5
370Z: 93.3
Evo: 94.2
Mini Cooper: 97.0
GTI: 97.9
MX-5: 99.4

Nissan def missed the mark with the fixable flaws, we can all agree. It's just down right inexcusable to not find an oil cooler and upgraded brakes/brake cooling in the Nismo, a car that's suppose to be track oriented. This is old news though, and we all know how to fix it by now. Lets just hope Nissan wakes up and gets us something that doesn't require us arguing over warranty work at the dealership. As much as I hate seeing articles about the Z like this, maybe its a good thing and slaps Nissan to wake up.
