They should have tested the 7AT -- it would have been a little faster

the MSRP on a fully loaded Z is pretty ridiculous, I'll give them that.

2011 Nissan 370Z Touring First Test - Motor Trend
"Compared to our long-term 370Z Roadster, the coupe serves as the ideal long-distance tourer by virtues of side visibility, overall civility, and [U][B]
cabin quietness."

Cabin quietness??? That's a stretch but I guess everything is relative.

The 2011 model year also brings the 370Z Roadster's synthetic suede door and seat inserts to the coupe. The soft, cozy material gives the comfortable, attractive cabin a higher-quality feeling. Leather-wrapped electronically adjustable seats remain standard in the top-level Touring, and support your bum and back with firm cushioning.
This is actually wrong. My 2010 has this too. I thought 2009s did too?

You can get a Z for invoice no problem, that's like $3500 below MSRP. And if you get lucky and land a VPP (like me)...that's another $2000.

I might have to upgrade to get that vicious LSD - I don't think my viscous one competes.

My 2009 has alcantara in the doors and the seats - it really is a pretty bad article.
