Sounds interesting, going over it now.

" Mitsubishi’s torque-vectoring Active Yaw Control" are we still dealing with cars here? Sounds like something out of back to future and flux capacitors.

The first thing that comes to mind after reading the subtitle is where is the miata?

Fun little article. I liked how they put the XFR up against the Evora.

“A true sports car ought to be able to lap for a long time without falling into this overheating-related mode.” I have to agree, Nissan really makes themselfs look bad with this. I'm also surprised the EVO was faster around the track, hmmm. But the Mitsu akes themselfs look bad with that interior. Why should the inside look like a base Lancer if I'm paying almost 40K ouch

Performance cars with a pricepoint around that of the Z and EVO are always going to have compromises.

"hear more of the Z’s distinctive “Chewbacca” exhaust note"

Nothing new. GM has had yaw control of some form or another for over a decade.

If I were to buy one, I would buy the 370Z. I'm a RWD fan.

haha, there's really nothing new that i haven't heard or read about other than that our exhaust sounds like a chewbacca??!!

I read the article last night and this morning while driving in I was listening for the Chewbacca sound. Maybe it won't make that sound with the Berk CBE.
