Car and Driver: We're Ranked DEAD last

Duc_Z09 · 12-16-2014, 11:06 PM

Yawn. Least amount of cargo capacity? That means we win, right? I mean, when I bought a 350hp RWD coupe how many kids' soccer bags fit in the back was somewhere near the bottom of my priorities.

Yeah.... I don't know what the fcuk they're talking about....

2014-06-27 20.17.05.jpg

For anyone who's curious:
2 stock 19in rears
3ton jack
4 jack stands
torque wrench
impact wrench
bunch of other miscellaneous tools
2 helmets (they take up more room than you'd think)
24 case of water
and was still able to tetris my girlfriend in there at the end.

We do just fine.

Honestly I like how I have no space. None of my friends bother me for rides or for me to move any of their ****. I have room for myself and a date and that's good enough.

Found my elf on the shelf and he is pissed. "Enough" he says.

I happen to agree. Total waste of time if you read these articles. And what do they say about the space in a 4C, a 4S, a TT, the list goes on. Total silliness.

Do you mean Corvette and Driver? Chevy once announced the Corvette was design to hold golf clubs for the wussies who play golf. My 370z holds my tennis racquets just fine for those of us who actually play a sport and move and sweat when they play.

Did you see the Lightning Lap issue where they admitted they blew up 2 Corvettes?

carlitos_370z · 12-17-2014, 06:56 AM

i think they talk a lot of sh!t man.... i love my Z and thats what matter... if I want space im going to buy a pick up or a damn Toyota Sienna...

Based on their concept of VE, a chest of drawers would be the ideal car. Somebody at C&D had too much time on their hands...

Best response ever to dumb magazine comments

I'm worried about my own post-holiday-self fitting in a Bride seat. *cough

carlitos_370z · 12-17-2014, 09:34 AM

Ok back to the topic hahhaha!!!

ProfessorDave · 12-17-2014, 12:39 PM

I thought only shampoo manufacturers cared about volume??

dotcomee · 12-17-2014, 01:09 PM

The Z is my only car. Since I've bought it my grocery bill is down $100 per week and I've lost 20 lbs. I couldn't figure out why until Car and Driver made that article!
