Crash Test Ratings?
 

Can someone give an answer as to why there are no crash test ratings for the 370Z?


Hell, the defunct 2009 Pontiac Solstice Coupe is even listed.

Car and Driver tested and passed. :icon14:

Crash Test??? Weee Don't Need No Stinkin' Crash Test :icon17:

I did a search too.....2011 coming out and they can't even post the test results of the 2009 model what the heck.....Where is our tax paying dollars going???? Hybrid Cars??? Electric Cars??? Come on.....How much does it cost to take a car and slam it on all four sides??? What the heck.....we should get Insurance Incentives :icon17: "WE ARE THE CRASH DUMMIEZ" LMAO

The z is such a beautiful car that they didn't even bother.

:icon18:


I was just thinking that. Who in their right mind would crash a Z just to find out it's not as safe as a Volvo but safer than a Smart Car -- sheesh we already know this...

As long as the Airbags work? Will be fine.

I actually had a small discussion with my insurance company about this.

After going from my RSX-S to a 370z, my insurance rate dropped. I wondered why and asked.

I was informed that the 370z had better crash test ratings than the RSX-S that is why the insurance was cheaper.

Interesting as when I first joined the forum my wife and I were among the first to actually have a Z here. Somewhere buried in the posts you will find how AAA didn't even know how to insure the 370Z when we first brought it home. There were a few days where AAA had to arrive at a dollar amount for the insurance premium. AAA's reason? There were no crash ratings.

:iagree:
wtf... rsx worse then the z how?

I haven't seen anything yet, so here's a 370z crashing into the wall at VIR

ow

They seem to bounce around on model and makes, they do not test models consecutively.
Airbags or not! "When your time is up, your time is up"!

Since we know this was a 370Z, is more known? What did this fellow do? I see a gradual right turn coming up and he just oversteered? Was something on the track? Did he get bumped? He kept it pointed straight.

Haha! We are the crash dummiez! lol...

I'm assuming that was NOT the Stig!

It's a fellow from these forums, first track day I believe - instructor in car. It was light drizzle rain, greasy just damp track. Went too deep late braking into the corner and oversteered, couldn't correct in time or get on the brakes early enough. Once he was on the wet grass he was all done, no braking or steering possible. The damage wasn't that bad, nose, hood, fender, headlight IIRC.

Trust me the Z is a pretty safe car, the airbags work, and i know this from first hand experience

bump

The 350Z was tested at 5-stars. Because the 370Z and 350Z share nearly the same platforms (albeit modified) there is no need to retest the car.

They just figured enough kids would turn off VDC and crash test their own 370Zs for them. They could then extrapolate the rating from the pics posted on this site. Research data is coming in at an incredible rate these days.

lol

Uhh..... 5 fricken stars: http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...d-z-today.html

When your time is up, your time is up! Nothing you can do about that!

true

Apparantly our 370z catches fire a lot.

I crashed it once, walked away with a seat belt rash. I say its passed by me, so good that after rebuilding it, its still drives like new and after 20k miles all good and sturdy.

I dont recommend testing that crash ur self :icon14:

its just interesting after 5 years no test have been done only a few deaths that i know of from this car
