Over my quiet periods in work I have been doing some research on other forums with regards to their perception of their own car and the 350z. Working in IT you can imagine I get a fair bit of time to do this
Anyways, a lot of people give the forum "zed bashers" a bit of heat when they give the zed negative comments but over all I would say 95% of Zed community has a firm grip on the performance and quality of the car they drive. They aren't on a planet of their own thinking everything they pass must have been racing them.
I had a look on all the sites you would imagine might pit themselves against the 350/370. ST owners, z4, Golf gti, clio and of course the VXR forum. I am astonished by the difference in the mind sets of the owners compared to ours. Just about everyone of them had the line,,,, I had a play with one,,,, always resulting in them leaving it for dead. One of the VXR owners said that the 350z are slow as his stage 3 easily leaves a stock zed.......
I am glad we have a level headed forum like this one when people use acutal facts and general logic rather than going along with a day dream. Great day to have a imperfect 350z
