Nissan 370Z Review: A Pretty Face, Lacking Pace

It's not just the Z. The Z has it bad, but it's any DBW setup. I'd give my left nut for a cable setup for the Z.

DBW is garbage, yes, but there are cars out there where its not bad. The subaru STI has been DBW since 2004. I have driven many and they responce and torque that car has is amazing. Evo X's have been DBW since inception. I owned one. They also weren't bad. Why nissan made their system so laggy is beyond me.

My 04 was noticeably worse than my 02 WRX which was cable, but still better than the Z. Some of the response of the STi was due to the tiny little stock turbo. Once it was tuned, it had great throttle response though. Of course, mine was tuned with every bolt on part you could run and that same little stock turbo. I still miss it. If I had known the dickbag I sold it to would blow it up in three weeks after I never got so much as a CEL in 75k miles I would have kept it.
