And sadly, it wouldn't be my Daily driver..

I will Track my Car this year and get all the Fun I need out of life..But if is Sad that they build something that supposed to corner and be driven hard. and it starves and overheats...

Oh, and I love Z's...My 300Zx was great, and my 350Z was great.. i feel that my step up to the 370Z, was although looking good, is a step down due to poor R and D...

They did not get it to starve in testing ??? Man...

Sorry, but I just dropped a chunk on the 370Z and my 1971 Z/28 will smoke this car on the Road Course..Quarter mile they are about even and that is WAY COOL for a quiet idling V-6...VERY NICE...

But fuel starve and oil cooling ? Weak...
I have a 2012 model that i pre ordered, it came with an oil cooler, but i am aware that the 2009-2011 370Z's had cooling issues at the track and with some spirited driving. My best advice would be to get an oil cooler from Z1 Motorsports and be happy, the 370Z is well worth the extra investment. Throw in a CBE and you'll be grinning again,trust me, you'll forget the fact you needed one as i'm told by 2009-2011 370Z owners.
