To say it was a surprise to not see one 370Z (especially from this forum) make it into the finalists is an understatement.

I am sure the three they picked are outstanding vehicles, but it is rather sad that not a single 370Z was picked. I also thought for sure that someone on the forum (not me) was going to win ... being it was track challenge I think they should have put Mike the Powdercoater in there ... so now we will never know how a 370 stacks up against their 370Z.

From April Motor Trend: "You designed it, and now your pick will fight it.....Nissan is looking for the baddest 370Z on the road to take on your project car"

On the facebook page, I voted the 240z as the baddest 370Z of the three baddest 370s given to choose from.

Not a surprise. I suspected that when they started this they would never pick a car they had no shot at beating. What I am surprised at is that there are no 370's, and two of those 3 cars probably don't even stand a chance.

Atleast the 240 is black and orange.

I think we need a letter writing campaign to Motor Trend.

I hope they show up at ZDayz. One of those things I'll get crunk.

Seriously. When I first heard about this, I thought it was for 370's only. Should ream them for false advertising. Even says it in their article. "Nissan is looking for the baddest 370z on the road to take on your project car".
