6. Nissan 370Z - Jim Gorzelany - Forbes

Well i guess it's better than making the list of the slow and expensive.....

red6spd · 06-28-2012, 07:52 PM

Nice find. I would like to think the Z is a tad faster to 60 then 5.2 but I guess thats not bad.

sonic370 · 06-28-2012, 08:16 PM

yeah if i remember the first 5 cars cost 10 to 15 grand more than the 370.

if there's a better sports car on the road for the 370's price. someone speak up

Haven't you been reading right here on our own forums that Z's suck.

Lol

We have autos, its easier for us to get under 5. The mags test the manual. It seems most of these manual guys concur 5.0 to 5.5. I know in my auto I'm substantially faster than that on a good day.

Mustang GT and FR-S

JK, I really can't think of any more focused sports car, other than perhaps the FR-S, BR-Z duo and "fast" is a debatable adjective for them.

The Genesis coupe IS cheaper than the Z, thought I wouldn't pick it over the Z.

shadoquad · 06-29-2012, 12:50 AM

lol, they list the boxster and cayman separately.

lemon-fresh · 06-29-2012, 01:08 AM

genesis and Z have the same 0-60 time... Who knew!

This is such a good car its amazing. Ive owned mid engine exotics(3 diff Lotus Turbos), Porsche, Alfa Romeo, Corvette etc.

I like the Mustang but its a 2+2 like the Hyundai and its still a muscle car lacking an element of refinement I like in a sportscar. Once again please do not flame me for just a simple opinion. Drive what you like and life is good.

370Z- Looks, performance, handling and quality its a good package. Is it perfect? No.

NO car is.

Our 0-60 is 5 seconds? That blows... My buddies FX50S's 0-60 is 5 seconds, and usually a bit quicker, and that weights 4700 pounds...

My LIGHTY modified 2009 Maxima's 0-60 was 5.7 seconds...

ah, that would explain the .6 second variation in acceleration test report averages from all the different sources.

I guess that makes the Z an under-achiever sports car.

is this a flash intensive site (the linky) or something? it's taking forever to load.
