Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - WOW, this is a truthful, and kinda funny review of a 2014 Nismo

I don't have any heartburn with the review.

I don't have a NISMO, so I can't speak to the punishing ride (that is whether or not it is that much more different than my Sport Z). For me I LIKE the elemental ride and I use my Z as a daily driver. I think it is clearly a preference think.

The comments about power are a bit odd and I think we fall into that trap here sometimes. Yes, there are a number of cars available that have more hp and better 1/4 mile times, but often not that much more. Moreover, there are a number of performance cars that can't get down a 1/4 mile as quickly, let alone around a track.

I like that I didn't have to pay anything extra for someone else's idea of audio and technology. The best factory offerings are usually not what I want so I'd trash whatever it would have come with.

CNET did ok, they just need a reviewer that doesn't have such a sensitive tush.
