Like, ok, I get it, they hit limp mode and cooked the brakes, but Csaba said something like, "The 370z is simply not a good car." I mean, come on...

It was overboard.

And I've driven and ridden in 5/6 cars in that test. I'd stack the Z's handling up to any one of them. I'm not saying it's the best, but better than 4 imo.

Also, in the objective statistical results, the Z's stats were first and second across the board.
I think they over-stepped in the z criticisms too...but I put almost no stock in their opinions or results...so it doesn't matter.

I don't give a **** if stock brake pads don't hold up. If I track on stock pads, I deserve to hit a wall...then no mention of things like fuel starvation...sure, I pulled over 1g on my z autoXing...and then it wouldn't start to drive me home.
