Why I **** Up My Cars

Given that it's a VSR turbo kit, how long until the follow up article titled "There went the motor"?

I am pretty sure this is Glokwork's car.

They are from the same state, she mentions his name - Chad, and the parts list is similar.

2011 Black 370Z 6MT Single Turbo 25k miles

All you have to do is text Chad and ask him who bought his car.

You know what!!!!


Fvck Jalopnik!
Fvck their Z articles
Fvck the people who wrote for them.

I say this because they've been on a mission to destroy the Z heritage name since the camaro concept became a pre-production model. They act like all cars are supposed to drive exactly like camaros and mustangs.

You know what. I like the camaro and even the current mustang. But neither still provide the visceral experience of our Z's.

This little bitty with her 2 fast 2 furious DVD comment .... getdafuckattaheuhhhhhh!!! It makes me wanna slap the taste out her mouth.

Go buy your bloated mullet machine and **** the **** up...

It's amazing how they can't find one person that likes a Z in Jalopnik. Mistake number one is... it's review as a DD.it's not a DD and if you want to drive on a track. Get a nismo on there. And the faghuts at C&D crashed a Z 7 years ago. No other reviewer has crashed a Z. So that came choked up to an isolated incident that ONE EGO BRUISED DRIVER blamed Nissan brakes. The same brakes and pads I wore down on a track before upgrading to the stop tech pads n rotors n never had a problem and I wore down two Z34's, not one. My 09 which had horrendous axle slack and when I took off on a track. It sounded like my car had come apart.but the 09 felt the most raw and amazing. A lot of pansies didn't get it.

Then my 2011, with softened spring rates and mirror/rearview camera and a more confused than the 09. Still raw, but you can feel the wayward attempt at refinement.

The Z is not for everyone. This I will agree. But if you have the car for one week. And you didn't have a blast in it???

YOU'RE NOT AN ENTHUSIAST
YOU'RE NOT A REAL DRIVER BY ANY MEANS.

Go buy a muscle commuter car in v6 guise. That's who you are. Lil bitches.

She has an Evo, that Camaro, the Z, and a Datsun Z. Maybe other cars. What are you going on about?

UNKNOWN_370

Stated what I'm going on about. A lot of what is said concerning the Z is bunk. It's the way the article reads and the way they've been writing. No objectivity at all.it's clear what the mission is out of Jalopnik. The ONLY MORONS TO CRASH A CAMARO! On first drive day in Michigan.

I'm not going to argue about your opinion of Jalopnik and their relationship with Nissan (I don't read it nearly enough). I take your word for it that they may be bias towards Chevy or Ford.

With that said, I think the folks who read this article and say "Z BASHING!" are completely missing the point the author is trying to make. In brief, she's simply talking about the fact that buying a modded car isn't the same as modding the car herself. Buying an already modded car gives her the feeling that the car isn't truly her car--infused with her personality (obviously, someone else modded it!).

She loves her Evo because she built it, it has her personality. She doesn't appreciate the Z as much because someone else did all of this, and it has their personality. She could have purchased any modded car and the article would have been the same. She happened to choose a Z. Don't think too much into it, as the choice of modded car has little to do with this article; dare I say--nothing to do with it.

I guess I'll be in the minority here (at least on these forums, so far) and say that I loved this article. It articulated the same feelings I have when looking for a car. I'd rather build something that fits me, my personality and my needs. I want to have the feeling of accomplishment that goes along with that journey. I don't want to buy someone elses work. I'd imagine many others feel this same way. Kudos to her for articulating it so well.

TLDR; The article has nothing to do with the Z itself, it has to do with her love of modding a car herself and not purchasing someone elses work. Don't overthink things.

Kool good for you. I had no intention of arguing. But your question was directed AT ME... So I answered.

Well I, on the other hand have read every bias article Jalopnik has ever written and they're all potshot ridden including this one.... Hence my rant.

"I'm not going to argue"... lol Smh.

I actually like the fact that the masses don't "love" the Z... then I don't have to see a billion up here in oregon like all of the camaro/mustang/wrx crowd.
