When reviewers, most, not all, step into the Z they bash it because it doesn't live up to their "standard". They drive Lambo's Ferraris, Paganis etc and so forth. If it doesn't do 0-100kph in les than 4.5 it's a slow car. But then again thats the majority of the market "WHATS YOUR 0-100 TIME BROOOO". Straight lines are for fast cars, curved lines are for fast drivers.
The Z is not a super car or hyper car, we all know that, but for what you pay for it and its class, it's the top in my eyes. Great acceleration (You can get 4.8 to 100), reliable (how many SPORTS cars meet this standard? Not many, and of course reasonably priced.
I always get asked what's your 0-100 time blah blah. I tell people look, if you want to go fast and **** on everything from Z's to Mclarens, go buy yourself R1 or another type of litre bike. Once you realize what REAL speed is you'll understand you won't push the car to what is it meant to be pushed at.
That brings me to the next point. How many of those folk who own the high end cars actually push them? Straight line gunning doesn't mean ****. Pulling it out on weekends or dragging it to a meet doesn't do the car any favors. If that's your thing, more power to you. But to get the most out of the raging bull, prancing horses, the ghost (Konnegsegg), The Flying French B and Boomerang (Mclaren) you need those cuties on the track.
With Z I can get what I want from it on the roads (when I'm in Mexico of course) and on the track. Plus I can daily it. Car reviewers try TOO hard to be witty with their remarks and of course everyone is a critic.
My cousin has a S2000, fun car, it's not the fastest, does it make it crap? No. Great in corners and great RPM range. I don't want to pay $300 + for a oil change, or 3 grand in tires, not yet anyways. Plus I', very hands on, I like to touch, that includes my car(s). I don't like cars where you open the hood you start sweating like a Lucifer in church because God forbid you accidentally breathe on something and your car doesn't work. I know, it's not that bad, but I can literally tear apart my Z's engine bay and not worry about the complexities.
If I redline my Z i know I don't have much to worry about, the other cars? BRB. . . Check engine light. Plus everytime I drive my Z at night I feel like I'm an Initial D driver.
Besides, I like the manual transmission all the clunks and what not. Reviewers can kiss my ***. Everyone has an agenda going on. You want to know someone or something? Go out there and figure them out yourself, in the flesh! Do I like exotic cars? Yeah I do. I have just come to realize that when it comes to speed there are two types of people. Those who want to go crazy fast while looking good and those who don't care how good they look when they are going fast.
