It can outperform many much more expensive and powerful cars and it looks unique and special, one thing that I hold as an important factor in the Z.

As for the complaints of transmission refinement, noise levels and a rough feeling engine at high rpms, I actually enjoy them. Quarks are what give a car character, and those attributes make the 370z feel raw and almost 'back to the basics' in a day and age where car companies are fighting to make the smoothest and most refined cars.
THIS THIS THIS THIS! with a rep point.

People are so lost in articles and comparisons of tech and speed that they forget balance. Back to basics. Those are the words that sum up the Z. A true drivers car. Turn that VDC off and feel what this car is. Its what the best cars of the past with more precision, better track times, better gas mileage and a modernized suspension. I feel the old Z and porsches from yesterday. I feel the original M3. I feel the souls of so many of the past greats in one modern package. There's improvements that are needed. But JDM is all about personalization of excellent platforms and improving stock performance. Its just another way of percieving automotive or enjoyment. You adapt or you don't.
This car has its own mission while paying homage to the greats in its performance.
