No, it's really not.

I tease you about silly, over-the-top bullcrap, like "derrherr redneck car", but that's not really an issue, or "SRA". None of that crap matters because it's simply not true or relevant to the performance of that vehicle.

You guys pick the Z apart technically and talk about how sh1tty it is all the time. That's not teasing, it's nitpicking.

m4a1mustang · 10-27-2011, 12:03 PM

Yeah, we talk about how sh1tty the 370 is. No, we don't. You just take ANY criticism whatsoever, even if it is in response to someone trolling this thread, as talking sh1t on your pride and joy. You take this way too personally. Get over it.

You criticize the car far too often and with too much of a fine-tooth comb. If one was to simply take the collective posts of this group, they would get a negative picture of the Z, even when you're just "replying to trolls". I'm not the only one who's noticed, but whenever someone points it out to you, you call them a fanboy.

That's exactly what a fanboy would say.......

Yeah, I guess that's why I recommend the 370Z to people that want a real sports car.

Ok, so I'm the only one who's noticed that these guys talk all the time about how clunky their Z's were.

Fine, I'm alone in this. Whatever.

I knew what I was getting going in, and it's a fantastic car. I didn't have to trade up when something faster came along.

Shado... you need to calm down bro. When did I ever state the Z was a $hitty car? When? Like every car, it has issues yes... but I LOVED my Z. I moved on not BECAUSE of the tranny or whatever else. I moved on because I NEEDED A BACK SEAT FOR MY SON (and my soon to be 2nd child). The fact that the 5.0 has (IMO) a better tranny than the Z, is a BONUS. Do I feel the 5.0 is a BETTER car than the Z? In some respects, yes. In some respects, no (for example, looks... Z is better IMO). But no, I didn't trade up because I needed a faster car. And even if I DID, so what? Why is that a bad thing?

I don't get your rant. You love your car, and it's perfect for you, great. But just know that it's not perfect for EVERYbody, and we're free to express our opinions.

The constant digs on the Z are usually over unimportant sh*t or issues that have been addressed or things that only effect people tracking the car. To hear you guys tell it, the Z is basically the worst production vehicle in the world.

NONE of us, (Dan, Steve, etc) EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER stated this. Please don't put words in our mouths. In fact, we give credit when credit is due. I loved my Z for when I owned it. But for now, I feel the 5.0 suits my liking more. You interpret things WAY out of proportion bro. Calm down.

m4a1mustang · 10-27-2011, 12:22 PM

At ease gentlemen.

shadoquad · 10-27-2011, 12:25 PM

I admit I jumped the gun, but there's always an undercurrent of resentment any time I see Z jokes made by 5.0wners, even to bash mindless trolls.

It's my baby, boys. I let pride get in the way.

Well they are speaking from the perspective of being previous owners. There were things they didn't like about the car, enough so that they got rid of it. I don't see what's wrong with them discussing why they did it, they're just expressing their opinions. It doesn't bother me one bit and it won't affect how I feel about my Z. They are talking about legitimate issues that the Z has. If no one talks about them, then they never get fixed. Steve has also expressed that he would love to get another Z in roadster form, so I don't see why you're labeling him as a Z hater.
