I may have been a little slow this morning but it took me a while to find the post lol i was looking where people posted on the wall, if anyone else is not that FB savvy, Bullitt's post is found where people are commenting on "which Z is your pick" photo

I was also disappointed that no 370 was chosen for the final 3

bullitt5897 · 03-04-2013, 02:25 PM

I also made a separate post on their page about it

My response to a dissenter of my comments:

K parlett the point is they advertised this from day one as a 370z challenger and that is how they pushed it to the 370z community... The fact that the rules say otherwise is a classic bait and switch... It is false advertising to get more entrants to the competition... The fact that not a single 370z made the finalists is a tell that something shady is going on... We have cars with the same types of mods as the 350z's and with more innovative ideas which they stressed in the rules as a qualifier for the finalist and not one made it? Yet two stock looking 350z's with turbo kits blew out every 370z.... The average power of any FI'd 370z is 500rwhp+ more power than both the two 350z finalists... Hmmmm. The problem is Nissan Performance and motor trend are sand bagging the event! Their car will have more HP, better brakes and better suspension than any of the finalists posted. It is a known fact that the 370z stock for stock is leaps and bound better than the 350z in performance and responds even better with mods.... The 270z is great but won't come close to winning the silver Z will be close on power but won't be able to handle or keep traction as well as the project Z and the white Z may handle great but is over 100rwhp short and will lose out on key events... The finalists were stacked to promote the Nissan performance Z.... Sad fact but true...

i wonder if somebody can get more pres/blogs on this BS... like how jalopnik pointed out the issue with the pagani huayra tires during the top gear's track lap times... im starting to feel like the 370z folks just got Manti Teo'd by motortrend and nissan performance... lol

bullitt5897 · 03-04-2013, 04:12 PM

We must be the invisible girlfriend that never existed....

bullitt5897 · 03-04-2013, 04:36 PM

That's f****d up!! I bet they want to get rid off any bad reputation they're getting from changing their rules at the last minute.

Meh, we suspected it would be this way when this was first announced. I am not surprised that it is now come to pass.

Disappointed, but not surprised.

That 240Z has a pretty impressive hp to weight ratio.
