Anyone see this yet? I stumbled across it last night and hadn't recalled seeing it posted here.

I need speakers on my work computer!

this car is a future classic, that is all I have to say

spearfish25 · 12-05-2009, 08:09 PM

Every time I see the car in a review video, I wish I could see mine from the outside more often. Watching it bank around a curve coming head-on at you is a sweet sight.

These guys seemed right on with their review. The only thing I can't corroborate is the 7AT upshift gripe they had.

I noticed about "feeling the debris on the road", yesterday I was like WTF was that.

Nice find!

I can see them unhappy, because they feel it should have that instant gear change automatic, but in reality that is the GT-R.

nitpicking at debris on the road is asinine to me, the Z is a $85,000 BMW

On my DSG Audi I was able to get a transmission chip that made the dual clutch even faster and changed the max rpm. I ownder if in time the 7AT might be able to get a transmission chip to spped things up? But I do believe the Z should have put the DSG on the 2010 model.

Nice find! I agree on most of the review, can't comment on the automatic though.

370z vs 350z vs 300zx by them as well

worth watching as well

Very nice review. I agree with them 100% on the handling. The car handles so beautifully, it's near dam addicting! ALL aluminum suspension parts with perfect balance and engineering, I constantly find myself downshifting and accelerating though any twisties I find in my everyday driving.

Great find

I can - although it doesn't happen all the time.

What I've found is that you really need to turn OFF the VDC. That pushed my car into another category of performance - and it's like finding another 20-30HP. Even on hard straight take-offs, where there was no way I was going to lose traction, the VDC throttles back the car - and it shouldn't! Turn VDC off and do the same thing, and voila - the performance I was expecting.

Now, unless it's raining, I automatically turn off VDC. I sure wish there was a way to make VDC off be the default mode when you start the car!
