I think the Z and the VQ37VHR are pretty damn reliable. I had an 06 G35 coupe before my Z and all I did was regular maintenance. I put 110k on it. Didn't baby it, but, didn't abuse it as either.

I'm sure my Z will run like a freakin gladiator as well.

I"m a diesel and line tech for a Ford dealership and I can tell you first hand that the people that take care of there cars don't have that many problems with there cars besides stuff that just wears out over time. Some people think that they just have to keep putting fuel into the car. I don't know how many times I've had to install a new engine all because someone didn't want to change their oil because it's too expensive but they have money for a $900 Iphone but then b1tch about their car being a POS.

I also think since someone has had to have a repair done everyone will have the same issue as well and that the car is unreliable. Besides the dreaded CSC issue, and stering lock issue, the Z overall is reliable.
