Winding Road Magazine Review of 370Z
I hope this hasn't been posted, but I didn't see it when I searched.
In the lower left hand corner there's an icon that opens a table of contents, then find the Z and click on it. It will take you right to the article. Winding Road Magazine | Issue 42 |

nice find! Good article!
So basically to sum it up: By the 6SPD the transmission and handling is impressive road noise is pronounced and the interior needs more improvements. This article was good because, while critical, they gave good reasoning for complaints and reminded us that for all the complaints, it is a sports car. I also love some of the quotes, “This Nissan coupe, an unmitigated and rich aural experience.…auditory splendor” Last edited by BanningZ; 02-21-2009 at 02:11 AM. |

Yeah, good article. Never heard of that magazine but I actually enjoyed it and read more than just the article about the Z.

Interesting tidbit about the Nissan engineers considering the 54/46 weight distribution to be perfect because it becomes a perfect 50/50 under the load of a hard corner. I've never thought of it that way. Not sure if I really buy the argument, but it's definitely food for thought.

Going back to the excellent review by Winding Road, as far as sound is concerned, the guy I throttled it past this afternoon would testify that sound is indeed an important element in a sports car - he nearly jumped out of his seat, poor thaing

They became nextautos.com I have loved their online magazine prior to them doing the website. If you use my.yahoo you can have them as a news source and get headlines delivered. Pretty cool way to stay on top of auto news.
