Three years later, and this new Z still hasn't grown on me. I'm sure it's fun to drive, but it just doesn't look quite right to me. I'm curious to see what they change for the 2013 model year.
you suck. this guy needs job performance review or something. YOU ALWAYS give negative reviews about every car. I dont know what car is good from your dumb reviews
@heresteven no they have the 3.7 liter, because then it would be to close to preforming to the GTR they want to keep it more an everyday car, not like the GTR isnt, but they want to keep it less powerful and keep good handling, keep it classic RWD
To those that don't know because he didn't explain. Rev matching is important for downshifts while braking into a corner. The normal way would be the heel-toe technique, you keep your toes on the brake and use your heel to match the revs with your gas pedal. Takes some talent and pratice to perform, this makes it much easier though. Should be standart on all manual sports cars but i fear nissan has the patent for it.
@elbacatran12 ill remember that when me and my friend are racing my camaro against his mustang both cars run faster to 60, are way better than this peice of jap crap... asshole
@poskyflyer thats bs i bet you drive your mamas prius..and mustangs use Huge engines like V8s and still only get less Hp than the 370z...for example the 2010 mustang gt has a 4.6 engine and only has 304 HP..and does 0-60 in 5.8 seconds..so..Go eat shit asshole..Fail..Fail...Fail..
@elbacatran12 bro im 23 and am on a military salary i have a 2010 camaro ss supercharged by hennesey, the mustang was 315 and thats because and it does 0-60 in 5.0/4.9... release your dads dick from your hand and finish school k kid?
@poskyflyer wow you think im gonna believe that bullshit..and if you have that car why don't you make a vid to prove it?? your such a little shit face mother fucker..
@elbacatran12 so since i dont put everything i own on youtube im bullshitting? send me your email ill send you a pic you dumb bitch get the cock snot out of your ears
@poskyflyer and you keep on going with your dicks and cocks..WTF?? are you a faggot or what little quire..and a pic don't mean shit..you can send any pic out there..how do i know is yours?? just tell the truth that your lying you drive a toyota prius..fucking dumbass.
@elbacatran12 funny i happen to be married to a beautifal women that ive met in highschool hmm funny you want me to send you about 100 pics of my camaro my truck and my wifes impala? but hey if you dont beleive me what ever ive got better things to do have fun in school tomorrow kid
@poskyflyer i didn't asked you about your wife (assuming you really have one) and i don't want pics either i wanna see a vid on youtube so everyone can see if your bullshitting or not..and i have a decent job and don't go to school no more..so you need to shut your old ass up..son of a bitch..
@elbacatran12 funny didnt relise at 23 i was old? bro its funny how your the only one who seems to get pissed off that i dont have a video of my car up but hey what ever. so hows your grade 8 education treating you? 10 bucks an hour awesome bud i make 160,000 a year
Its easier for retarded drivers is what you mean. Its definitely not for drifting. How could auto-revmatching possibly be better than rev-matching yourself when drifting? Don't be a keyboard driver.
@CasterTown when you drift you dont have time to slow completly down for drifting! nissan even said thats what the tech was for!!! you should take ur own fuckin advice
this dude's lame. i don't think he REALLY knows anything about cars. all he talks about is stuff other journalists write about. i doubt this loser knows his car shit.
My parents have a BMW 750i and I have a BMW 650i and my brother has a 2010 370z and honestly, I believe his 370z is better than my BMW 650i .... BECAUSE, it feels like there is more speed in the 370z than in my BMW and it feels sportier in the 370z more as well ...
Well, not even the fuel....but it sounds like a truck...too loud.
There are many sports car...like audi TT, u can barely hear the sound at 300 km/h or the RS.
So in the end I'm not so worried about fuel as I'm worried about the big noisy sound....do a test drive...with the bose sistem...u can't even hear the music...
then you must not be a car guy, because people who buy these for a purpose WANT them louder. When I bought my 2007 Mustang GT people complained about the stock exhaust, but it was to low for me. Now when i turn it on in the morning I wake up all the neighboorhood dogs and they start to bark.
Do you just want this car to make you look cool? or are you going to drive it like its meant to be driven? Because then your better off with a nice slow BMW that looks good but is good on gas.
@DarkHour404 um... but fuel consumption tells a lot about a car though. If your car goes fast while using lesser fuel that means the engine works more efficiently which means a single explosion draws out more power before the fuel blows out which means the engine can work less while producing more power and that means the engine can take more abuse which means the drivetrain wouldn't have to work as hard. By the way you wouldn't drive an ugly car that goes fast would you?
I never said anything about fuel consumption and how it reacts to a cars engine. I said, if your worried about fuel consumption in GENERAL for "saving gas" not "keeping the engine in good condition". Then a sports car is not for you, these cars are not meant to be driven daily, my dad has a 5.4L V8 GT500 mustang that gets about 12mpg in city, and my mustang GT gets about 15 with a 4.6L V8. But I buy gas once every month, since I dont ride it much.
@DarkHour404 mmm GT500 very juicy ~ um... i guess so, but wouldn't you imagine the Z and the Infinity G to car to be an everyday car though? Ya sure lots of people mod it... but most of them are just for everyday drive.
well sure go ahead, I just dont like having a nice looking car with a lot of miles on it. I currently had my 2007 mustang for 4 years and put about 25,000 miles on it. Most people by now would have 50-60,000 miles from everyday driving. So If I want to sell it or trade it in I can for double the price.
I just simply buy another cheap $5-8,000 truck to drive to work and school and I only take my mustang out on sunny days when Im off.
You guys in USA don´t have to worry about fuel prices. Come here to Germany and drive such a car and your poor in a few month. I drive a new Golf GTI with a 2.0 turbo motor (211 hp) and it´s expensive enough.
And that is exactly why Americans build Big V8 300-400HP+ engines that drink 1 full tank of gas in about 5-8 hours of driving. If I lived in Europe I would not buy a sporty car. I would just drive a japaneese 2L Honda civic.
But I am talking to the people who live in US and want to buy a sports car, because gas is cheap here, and if people are still worried about gas, then DONT buy a racing car.
You clearly havent driven one, because the 350z is an amazing car. The interior to be quite honest is fairly high quality regardless of what the reviews say.
The comments from all the fanboys concerning the syn-rev button here are priceless. Yeah, EVERYBODY is an expert. Hey guys...do you all realize what fucking nerds you are? And what's it like living with skinny arms, legs, and necks? Fucking dickheads....that's what most of you all are.
@rcalvo23 No kidding, great overview but,...lack of heal-toe knowledge discredits much of the opinions. BTW have just been leaning to heal-toe in my own car and agree with some that i would rather do it myself for the same reason i would rather steer myself, its part of the reward of getting it right.
this guy is not a car guy. he gets into a sports car and worries about being comfortable and loves the training wheels in the shifting for the people who cant shift right. if you are having problems with shifting then dont get the car. real sports cars are not for everyone.
It's not a training wheel for people who can't shift right, it's for downshifting when you're too busy to rev match because your foot is on the brake.
if you make yourself too busy for shifting then maybe the person should get off the cell phone and latte and just drive instead of relying on some gimmick to downshift.
@amakadius75 But you have to admit that for the less skillfull people who still want a fun drive, the syncro-rev is pretty cool, and will let them have more fun, the same way launch control would.
i agree with the quick launch but as far as the syncro goes um i cannot agree on that one. if you cant drive the stick then leave it alone and stop trying to make ways to help pretend that you do. to me thats like having a old muscle car with a 4 cycl in it and still getting the same sound because you can not handle to power or like a chopper with training wheels. if you cant handle it then dont get it. or get it and learn how to. i do like the quick launch because its direct power though. :)
palebeachbum you just got all your weight in your ass , sports car seats are meant to hold you firmly , just stick to buying camrys if you want a more comfortable seat
Stupid reviewer does not know anything about sports cars. Syncro-Rev match is for racing. When going around a turn, you can use your foot to concentrate on braking instead of trying to match revs and brake at the same time with the same foot. This was not created for people who don't know how to operate a manual properly. This guy is stupid, so stupid that it makes me want to pull my hair out. Way to go for making us Americans look stupid. What a douche. What a douche bag.
@da1pham these guys are not car enthusiasts...so don't get worked up. It's just for general info for average consumers. Some of the commentary is useful though. But I see where you're coming from.
The guy on this video doesn't really know what the rev matching is at all. The rev matching is probably one of the most advanced thing about this car or any modern sports car. The rev matching does what heal toe would do while down shifting into a corner.If you don't know what heel toe is it is simply reving your engine up while down shifting while braking into a corner hence the need to use both heel and toe at the same time with the left foot on the clutch and brake while bliping the throttle.
I've always been a fan of the Z cars. I got to sit behind the wheel of a 370z and I was really disappointed. Sure, it looks good, much better than the bathtub inspired 350z. It's fast, it handles great, and the interior looks sports car appropriate with good quality, but the seat was UNBEARABLY uncomfortable. I'm not big by any means at 5'9" 160lbs, but even my ass felt so tightly squeezed in the hard little seat. I couldn't drive the car for any length of time no matter how well it drives.
just test drove one this weekend, and it was a blast. i currently have a subaru sti but i love the way this car drives and the sync rev match was awesome! its not as powerful as the sti but that's not an issue. overall probably the best bang for the buck deal going on right now. i'll probably buy one before christmas!
But the STI only has 305hp where the 370z has 332hp. It probably doesn't sound like it isn't as powerful because of the exhaust system, or the intake or the mufflers but it is more powerful,Hope when you get yours you enjoy it. I'm getting one soon and i plan on changing most of the stuff out with better stuff
i do not thing so. This test is about nothing. All these facts i can read on broucher from Nissan. I want to see some serious performance of what this car can do. Not this dude drivin one hand laied donw on the steering wheel. This test rally sucks. Maybe not for Americans, but here in Europe definitely
well see this car show is about car tech and alotta the things he says isn't on the brochure like how user friendly it is and he's supposed to focus mainly on the technology for the car no the performance....if you want performance reviews go watch top gear
yes, he is talking about how car is friendly. I still think that this i can find by myself on test ride in every showroom. But after 15 minutes long easy ride i will not have an idea about what performance is car like this able. So if i want to buy familly car, with no expectations about driving pleasure, this test is ok. But test like this about car which really is about it´s performace is crap. I don´t want to argue, just my opinion ;) Hope you get it
i just bought a 370z sport edition...dont have it yet tho...dealership is giving me until the weekend to strip the mods i made on my supercharged cobalt...so i should have it next week. Cant wait
so I bought a yellow 370 Z and under artificial lighting, it is different colors? the pieces above the windows and the gas tank are basically an orangy yellow? VERY noticable!!1
Has anyone else experienced this? I called Nissan an dthey said it was completely normal and weren't going to do shit about it...
But why should I pay that amount of money for a different color car?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Nice car...? yeah, powerful? yeah, fast? yeah, aggressive? yeah, history and tradition? yeah. BUT A DAM FREAKING UGLY EXTERIOR AND A USELESS INTERIOR SPACE.
If you were to downshift without rev matching, the car will jerk a bit. It feels like someone quickly applied the brake for a split second when you do this. To get around this, all you really have to do is blip the throttle as you downshift. Nissan does it for you now because apparently that was too hard for people.
A lot of people don't really downshift that often. And most of the ones that do just let the clutch slip into the downshift, and are comfortable having to replace a clutch more frequently rather than learn about how their cars work, and what's healthy for them.
I think it's an awesome feature, though... it's not always easy hitting the sweet spot (the perfect RPM) when heel-toe downshifting, but it sounds like the Z does it like butter.
Yeah, I know a lot of people don't downshift often, but I do. I enjoy the feeling of perfectly controlling the car with careful throttle modulation. However, I'll concede it probably is more efficient for faster heel-toe shifting. In casual downshifts, that's when I would prefer it wasn't on. I'm so used to doing it myself now, but it's probably one of those things that will mostly fade out, like double clutching synchro-less manual transmissions. You barely find them anymore except on trucks.
wrong, double clutching is an old school technique for transmissions that don't have synchros, which is what the 370Z and every other modern car with manual transmissions use.
The 370Z automatically blips the throttle to rev the engine enough on a downshift, so that when you release the clutch, you're not making the clutch do all the work to catch the engine's speed up to the transmission's speed.
i am a german car guy. Letme tell you, this car looks great, the performance is great, and the for the money, you cannot touch it. I would buy one, in that color to
What's that? No nav system in this version? I'm surprised he didn't shit his pants, what else would he have to pick on his entire review?

The comments from all the fanboys concerning the syn-rev button here are priceless. Yeah, EVERYBODY is an expert. Hey guys...do you all realize what fucking nerds you are? And what's it like living with skinny arms, legs, and necks? Fucking dickheads....that's what most of you all are.

@rcalvo23 No kidding, great overview but,...lack of heal-toe knowledge discredits much of the opinions. BTW have just been leaning to heal-toe in my own car and agree with some that i would rather do it myself for the same reason i would rather steer myself, its part of the reward of getting it right.

this guy is not a car guy. he gets into a sports car and worries about being comfortable and loves the training wheels in the shifting for the people who cant shift right. if you are having problems with shifting then dont get the car. real sports cars are not for everyone.
amakadius75 1 year ago
It's not a training wheel for people who can't shift right, it's for downshifting when you're too busy to rev match because your foot is on the brake.
halomizer 1 year ago
if you make yourself too busy for shifting then maybe the person should get off the cell phone and latte and just drive instead of relying on some gimmick to downshift.
amakadius75 1 year ago
@amakadius75 But you have to admit that for the less skillfull people who still want a fun drive, the syncro-rev is pretty cool, and will let them have more fun, the same way launch control would.
jrzimm612 1 year ago
i agree with the quick launch but as far as the syncro goes um i cannot agree on that one. if you cant drive the stick then leave it alone and stop trying to make ways to help pretend that you do. to me thats like having a old muscle car with a 4 cycl in it and still getting the same sound because you can not handle to power or like a chopper with training wheels. if you cant handle it then dont get it. or get it and learn how to. i do like the quick launch because its direct power though. :)

Stupid reviewer does not know anything about sports cars. Syncro-Rev match is for racing. When going around a turn, you can use your foot to concentrate on braking instead of trying to match revs and brake at the same time with the same foot. This was not created for people who don't know how to operate a manual properly. This guy is stupid, so stupid that it makes me want to pull my hair out. Way to go for making us Americans look stupid. What a douche. What a douche bag.

The guy on this video doesn't really know what the rev matching is at all. The rev matching is probably one of the most advanced thing about this car or any modern sports car. The rev matching does what heal toe would do while down shifting into a corner.If you don't know what heel toe is it is simply reving your engine up while down shifting while braking into a corner hence the need to use both heel and toe at the same time with the left foot on the clutch and brake while bliping the throttle.

I've always been a fan of the Z cars. I got to sit behind the wheel of a 370z and I was really disappointed. Sure, it looks good, much better than the bathtub inspired 350z. It's fast, it handles great, and the interior looks sports car appropriate with good quality, but the seat was UNBEARABLY uncomfortable. I'm not big by any means at 5'9" 160lbs, but even my ass felt so tightly squeezed in the hard little seat. I couldn't drive the car for any length of time no matter how well it drives.

just test drove one this weekend, and it was a blast. i currently have a subaru sti but i love the way this car drives and the sync rev match was awesome! its not as powerful as the sti but that's not an issue. overall probably the best bang for the buck deal going on right now. i'll probably buy one before christmas!
Fast07Sti 2 years ago
But the STI only has 305hp where the 370z has 332hp. It probably doesn't sound like it isn't as powerful because of the exhaust system, or the intake or the mufflers but it is more powerful,Hope when you get yours you enjoy it. I'm getting one soon and i plan on changing most of the stuff out with better stuff

yes, he is talking about how car is friendly. I still think that this i can find by myself on test ride in every showroom. But after 15 minutes long easy ride i will not have an idea about what performance is car like this able. So if i want to buy familly car, with no expectations about driving pleasure, this test is ok. But test like this about car which really is about it´s performace is crap. I don´t want to argue, just my opinion ;) Hope you get it

1mutd 2 years ago
If you were to downshift without rev matching, the car will jerk a bit. It feels like someone quickly applied the brake for a split second when you do this. To get around this, all you really have to do is blip the throttle as you downshift. Nissan does it for you now because apparently that was too hard for people.

drdoe16091609 2 years ago
A lot of people don't really downshift that often. And most of the ones that do just let the clutch slip into the downshift, and are comfortable having to replace a clutch more frequently rather than learn about how their cars work, and what's healthy for them.
I think it's an awesome feature, though... it's not always easy hitting the sweet spot (the perfect RPM) when heel-toe downshifting, but it sounds like the Z does it like butter.
surfgurujeff 2 years ago
Yeah, I know a lot of people don't downshift often, but I do. I enjoy the feeling of perfectly controlling the car with careful throttle modulation. However, I'll concede it probably is more efficient for faster heel-toe shifting. In casual downshifts, that's when I would prefer it wasn't on. I'm so used to doing it myself now, but it's probably one of those things that will mostly fade out, like double clutching synchro-less manual transmissions. You barely find them anymore except on trucks.
jayls5 2 years ago
From just listening to how he described it, it's basically allows you to double clutch without having to match the RPM.
Double clutching allows for smoother transitions in between gears.
Southpaw447 2 years ago
it removes the whole process of heel toeing
SnizzFizz 2 years ago
wrong, double clutching is an old school technique for transmissions that don't have synchros, which is what the 370Z and every other modern car with manual transmissions use.
The 370Z automatically blips the throttle to rev the engine enough on a downshift, so that when you release the clutch, you're not making the clutch do all the work to catch the engine's speed up to the transmission's speed.
