Details on the other Z!

As Chuck said, this review is bi-polar. I'm surprised it wasn't compared against the Mustang and Camaro too- like every other mag (and forum member) tends to do.

Details on my 240z?

Built in May 1971.

Many, many mods.

I am in the process of building a new engine -- should be in the 220 - 230 horsepower range.

Nice! Anymore pics? You have the two best Zs, and they're both blue!

I'm still not exactly sure what his complaints are. He praises it for being a two seater, but then complains it's too expensive for two seats. It's got a lot of power, but it's not fast enough. And it's too heavy when the Z is fairly light by modern car standards. This reads like he had his mind made up before he drove the car and wrote his review accordingly.

This color minds me of the Z32. These colors are pretty are for the Z32, so this is the best I could find:

This read like filler material; I mean, why bother reviewing the 370Z in 2013? Oh, because this site was founded in 2011. It's almost certainly just about filling a gap in content.

I guess ya gotta start somewhere, anyway.

I kept thinking as I read the review, Let's take it to the track. Buy a new two seater and let's race. What ever he spends his money on, then tell us exactly what our 370 is off pace against.

If the article were written more like: the 370Z specs vs several other comparable cars and here is why the other cars are better, I would be fine with the review.

There was absolutely no substance.

Short and to the point. Also, who has money for a GTR. But a gtr twin turbo motor in a in a Z. I'll take one...

That review is about as bad as these. This guy is a moron-

"Actually, this review is actually one of the many reviews that actually references the Scion FR-S that Scion is ACTUALLY making. And actually, it's a Nissan, and there's no way I'd actually spend $36,000 on an actual Nissan. I mean, actually, it's a Nissan. The GT-R, which actually costs $92,000 actual US dollars this actual model year actually outperforms the $130,000 Porsche 911 Turbo, but there's no way I'd actually buy a GT-R because, let's actually be realistic here, it is a Nissan that Nissan actually makes and that is too much money for an actual Nissan.

"Now actually, the Scion FR-S actually costs $24,000, making it actually a bit cheaper than this Nissan 370Z that actually costs $36,000. Now actually the Scion makes 200hp which is actually 60% of the amount of actual power that the 370Z is actually making and at $24,000, which is actually 66% of the Nissan 370Z's actual MSRP, I think that this is actually more worth the actual money that I will actually be spending on an actual sports car."

**** this stupid *** kid.
