That would be nice! It really is a nice color, with just the right amount of flake in it.

Yes -- it is pretty.

lol the Scion is perfect? bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha *gasp* ahahahaahahahaha

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.

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.

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

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-

ElVee · 06-13-2013, 09:28 AM

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.

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.

There was absolutely no substance.

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

sounds like the kid owns a civic/brz/frs and got his arse handed to him so he wanted a way to get back at nissan.

im not too sure about the "pretty face" or the wheels on the 2013's though...
