"The heart of the Z is Nissan's delightful V-6, now displacing 3.7 liters instead of 3.5. In the test car, it sounded sweet — a moan rising to a howl when flogged. Forward progress was commensurate. But it is easygoing in traffic, too, so no need to hammer it to enjoy."

I thought it was a very good article, really enjoyed reading it, got the feeling this guy was just giving his honest opinion and that he knows what he's talking about, really appreciates a great automobile.

Yes, he does have a novel way with words, there's humor there but he manages to get the message across very well because of it. Things like "forward progress was commensurate." LOL.

AND FINALLY someone who doesn't bash the sound of the engine! I love the sound of the Z! He even said it sounded sweet; "A moan rising to a howl when flogged." (LOL)

I copied and pasted in my 370Z archive.

Thanks Wicked Grin!

Loved the article, and it doesn't bash about the road noise from the tires...

I'm especially interested in the line discussing a future Z with user-configurable pod gauges. That would be sweet.
