Agreed. I also had a 350, then 370, and now an FR-S. The Z car's biggest downfall is being saddled with the same chassis as the Infiniti FX (and the G, of course) which was unfortunately the only way they could make it affordable. If it was on a purpose built chassis like our car, it would be quite a bit lighter and perform considerably better. But with the exception of a bit more power, the FR-S checks off all the performance criteria for my ideal sports car.

I considered modding the 370Z rather than selling it. I was OK with the stock power level, and felt I could probably fix 90% of the handling issues with a square wheel/tire setup, sways, and springs. But... Mainly I really hated revving the damn thing because it felt like it was shaking itself to pieces and the shifter is pretty terrible for a "sports car" and there's not much of a fix for that. And the blind spots. |
