Still the 370z is an impressive car, and factoring in the price differential, I'm not regretting my decision to buy one. One thing about the Evo review, it seems as if these British publications focus more on subjective evaluations, while alot of the American mags add in some quantitative components (instrumented testing) to the mix. I'm looking forward to some further comparisons of the Cayman and the Z, particular Car and Drivers Lightning Lap evaluation. It will be interesting to see how the 2 stack up down at VIR.
My observation too. I think the Americans do it better. Figures do not lie.
