Good point...The 370Z will be tested on TopGear Oz this coming Monday 15/06, so we'll see what times they get. I hope they launch it properly and not just roll it off the line. Last edited by GTRFAN; 06-10-2009 at 03:34 AM. |

I think they will give the car a great review. Just wanted to see how much worse can it be against the R35 on the lap list. I hope it at least beat the jaguar SV8 on the list....maybe I will be disappointed....we'll see...

With Nissan coming 3rd LAST on the customer survey here in Oz, last being GM-Holden and 2nd last Ford, then I'm not surprised we all on this forum have a very similar opinion when it comes to Nissan's customer approach and what options we get/don't get.
I wonder how Mazda can do such a great job - they won the customer survey, shame the RX-8GT is such a slow car though. |

I just watched it. Pretty good review. The rear vision is definitely an issue but an aftermarket camera could probably be added. And rear sensors are on the accessory list. I didn't think they would mention the wheels.

Yeah rear sensors are a must... In think in motor mag (or caradvice.com.au) they did mention the lack of options as being a negative for the car.... and also the engine sound... but we get ours quieter here than in the states I believe... thats what an aftermarket exhaust is for
It's been getting pretty poor 0-100 times though |

I think the rear sensors should be enough coz I know it is not easy to see clearly with the rear camera anyway. Sometimes you mite hit the car with the help of the camera.
I was impressed with the 370z's time around the GTA track. I thought it was going slower than the EVO X. I think the time could even be better if it wasn't windy that day they did the test. |

Also, the tire sizes are the same as on the 350z, which I guess explains why the 0-100 times are only marginally faster (5.5s versus 5.7s - difference of 3.5%). The 370z doesn't really have that much more power (just over 6%), or torque (about 1%) and weighs only slightly less (1%), so the we really shouldn't expect the 370z to be noticeably quicker. Palms |

I was about to order mine on the 2nd of May, but I thought I better read some comments on the forums from somewhere about the car first. After I discovered all the problems I am thinking to get the possible upgraded version. But now, the feeling to get the car is decreasing. Maybe I shouldnt read this forum after all....lol.
