Review: 2010 Nissan 370Z is Made for Drivers (from AutomotiveNews)

Quote:

It's been 40 years since Nissan introduced its sports car to America. Scott Burgess at the Detroit News writes that the 2010 Nissan 370Z roadster advances the stellar 370Z another step with its comfortable ride and rip-roaring, seat-of-your-pants cornering that will leave a big smile on your mug and your hair ruined by the wind. Click here for a photo. The 3.7-liter gives the roadster excellent power, 332 horsepower, and 270 pound feet of torque. Nissan uses aluminum on the hood, door panel, and trunk to help the convertible weigh in close to the regular model. When the roadster launches, you can feel it in your stomach as the carbon fiber driveshaft sends all that power to the rear wheels. Ramps to highways become rollercoaster rides in this roadster. Nissan has included SyncroRev Match with the manual to allow for throttle blips on downshift where the engine revs jump to match the lower gear, eliminating the engine braking. The technology Nissan uses on this roadster is impressive and seamless. You never notice the technology, only its results. The fully independent suspension keeps the car connected to the road but it's never harsh or overbearing. Click here for Burgess’ entire review of the 2010 Nissan 370Z.
