They don't. Some might call a Nissan badge a real flaw

When I had the Z, somebody actually told me they liked my Altima once when I was filling up. Yikes...

I'm pretty shocked at the animosity from this forum. One of your own (09 370z owner for over a year) leaves and gets another car and all of the sudden everybody gets all defensive over a positive review of a half-competing vehicle? I never attacked the Z...just said the 135 is much more tunable and that makes it fun for me. Unless you guys are going to have your 370 for the rest of your life, cut the crap. There are better cars. Even a 5.0 Mustang can kill a 370 on the track right? A Mustang! I honestly never thought I'd see the day, because I was always one of those "american cars are only fast in a straight line" people.

I wish the Z had a motor like the one I have in my 135 because it would pretty much be the perfect car, and I'd still have it. It doesn't, and for me, I prefer to have a DD that is comfortable, knows what torque is, and when I track it...minimal modifications should make it keep up with some substantially faster cars when stock. That is not the Z. That's why for me, the Z was not the right choice. It might be for you, and good luck.
