  • Goddamn reviewing cars is the wrong career choice for you...

  • its ok i dont like the rear fog lamp anyway

  • This guy makes me want to go hang myself.

  • nissan did a great job on this car.

  • hahahaha microphone huge wire

  • So overall this announcer is the oldest, and most boring announcer... ever.

  • I'd drive it

  • I think he got bored around time for the test numbers, thought I was gonna hear snoring, but good job Nissan! Finally justifying the $40,000 price...well almost. Mustang GT is still faster in a line for around $30,000. According to MotorTrend themselves anyway at 4.4 sec.

  • Hey Ron, Speak up bitch! :)

  • the 370z is sexy as hell

  • A Senior Editor for a magazine who doesn't know the word "funnest" doesn't exist in the English language. Way to go.

  • @jasonkim11 No, it stock.

  • By far the best car so far, wish we could have Jspec

  • i kind of agree, ron kiino isnt the best for video reviews, but he writes quite well, maybe you should just pick up the magazine subscription and you would know what im talking about

  • I honestly like the exterior of my 350z better. The barbed lights on the 370z just look kind of odd in my opinion. I do like pretty much everything else on the 370z better though!

  • Get a new voice over guy.

    Horrible voice for narration. Soft, Monotone and flat.

    Makes the entire presentation dull and forgettable.

    

  • Great car... but so ugly.

  • I can't believe this guy said "funnest". What a dimwit tool.

  • @twowheels808 "funnest" and "most fun" carry the same meaning and function in standard american english. The speaker is grammatically correct. look it up

  • 4.7 seconds my fkn ass the 350z was 5.5 seconds nissan didnt shave off .8 of a second lool these are proffesional drivers launching the fuck out of this car noone can get 4.7 in the real world. LIKE I SAID LAUNCHING THE FUCK OUT OF IT

  • @peterjg001 Um, no, Insideline tested the newest 350Z at 5.1 seconds. Less weight, more power, and lower gearing = 4.7 seconds.

  • @peterjg001

    If you don't know what you're talking about, shut up. The 350Z consistently got 5.2 second 0-60 MPH launches by almost all reviewers. This car has more horsepower and less weight. That makes for a much higher power-to-weight ratio. Given this, it's completely believable--actually, expected--that the new car is around 0.5 seconds faster.

  • @Atheismrulez plz dont even bother writing dumb shit, ur probably a 14 year old kid who doesnt even drive, I have a 335i and a g35xs the g35 and 350z share the same engine so I would know how fast it is./ The VQ series engine is a powerfull engine dont get me wrong but its very low on torque and all of its torque comes in at very high rpms making it hard to use. So the 350/370z are good for top end but not off the line. My best friend has a 40th anniversary edition 370z and my 335i beats it....

  • @peterjg001 Of course it won't be as torquey as a twin turbo inline six from the 335. Twin turbo's always give you a flatter torque band. But for a V designated engine, the VQ's are considered grunty offering max torque at only 4500 rpm's and 80-90% of the torque available pretty low. Another thing i love about the VQ is how rev happy they are. Butter smooth all the way till redline (not the 3.7). You're braging about a car that is in a totally different class and price point than the Z.

  • @dukviper90 See having driven several old 350Zs around town, that's the one WORST thing I thought about them, they almost had Honda torque...you could forget enjoying an automatic, ya HAD to have a manual to be decently quick. But once ya get the VQs above 3500, ya they're amazing...Definitely one of the best engines of all time, both 3.5 and 3.7. good specific output, and yes, very smooth and addicting sound...

  • @yellowmusicfreak The more torque, the slower it feels. The more horsepower, the faster it feels. Yeah, I get that slow feeling too but I've clocked my G to 60 in under 6 seconds and I beat a 04ish mustang GT off the line so its definitely not slow. Not super fast but plenty good enough for a Grand tourer plus I get 27 mpg highway. The only problem with the FM platform is the weight. G weighs almost 3400 lbs and the Z is only 150 lbs lighter.

  • @dukviper90 That is such a broad statement.

    Low end torque is actually better for acceleration, and also depends where it hits on the power band. I too own a G35 coupe (06 MT) I wouldn't say its fast, but its quick!

    I recently test drove my friends 335i...My god, the low end torque on that thing is incredible. Once you step your foot on the gas, the car takes off like no other.

  • @Jamzkangster The 335i has turbo's. Anything turbo charged will have gobs amount of torque where ever it spools up and in the BMW's case, they have figure out a way for the turbo's to spool up earlier. The regular 330i is much slower. 90% of the torque is available right after 2500 rpm on the VQ and 70-80% available right before 2500 rpm. For a naturally aspirated motor, that's damn good. Look at the dyno sheets.

  • @dukviper90 True which is why I said it depends where the torque hits. Torque = acceleration, HP = speed. But since our cars are RWD, even if we had gripload of torque or HP lets say coming from a TT or SC, it's hard for all that power to get on the ground. I just disagreed with more torque = slower it feels.

  • @Jamzkangster Hp = output. Hp doesn't propel you. Torque = acceleration which is directly proportional to speed. Remember Horsepower is just a way of measuring the power the torque is producing. It's like meter and inches, a unit of measure. The smoother the engine and the more torque it has usually feels slower. M3's scream like hell so they feel fast. The IS-F though is fast feels much slower than the M3 when really its only 1-2 ticks behind. That engine is a low reving torque monster.

  • @dukviper90 no that's wrong. The first part is right. But torque makes it feel fast. You got it backwards. Hence why when you have a single big turbo you don't FEEL the peak torque until the tach starts flying up.

  • @therookie93 No, it depends where it is in the power band. Have you driven a 335i? IT is much faster than my g35 but feels slower and that has a lot to do with having torque right at 1400 rpm where as my engine is lazy till 2500 rpm.

  • @dukviper90 It might also have to do with the slight weight advantage.

  • @therookie93 Here's a similar analogy. A loud car will seem faster on the highway where a smoother quieter car will seem slower at the same speed on the highway. 

  • @peterjg001 For the Nissan 350z that does 0-60 in 5.5 you're talking about, it probably the 2003-2005 model because the 2006-2008 has more horse power and yes it does 0-60 in 5.2s for the 06-08 model.

    If a 2006-2007 G35 coupe with M/T which is heavier than the 350Z does 0-60 in 5.4s, then the 06-08 350Z should be able to do 0-60 in 5.2s.

  • aluminium? If that get hit by another car your dead

  • fairlady z34 in the japans 

  • this gys voice suks balls

  • My familly won this car from a lottery. sold 36grand.

  • The dash looks ugly, especially without the navigation screen, those vertical air vents are tacky aswell

  • From 0-60 & the 1/4 mile run, the Z car is just as fast as the Camaro SS with 426 h/p! The gauges are so eye catching too.

  • Nice car! I like the wide body design. It's got a hefty price tag at $38,000!!! For that price you might as well go with the new Mustang GT for $8,000 less!! The GT gets better gas mileage too!

  • ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ­ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ­ EERCH! We're here honey!

  • on forza 2 my fair lady has fuckin 836 horse power

  • looks like a 944

  • I liked the 350Z more...

  • This car has very good grip in the corners. A nice short throw shifter which lets u get off the line quickly. And a very fat azz, lol. This Z is a dream to drive.

  • my dream...

  • @MrUSAJAY i know thats whats wrong with this world!! bunch of hypacritical maggots!! war pushing.. complaning.. tree killing,, world destroying selfish human race we are.. the world is coming to end.. and i cant wait!!! wake everybody the fuck up.. they should rid technology for good!! bring back horse and wagon!!

  • Yellow Car! "Punches Commentato"r :D

  • ZZZZZZZZZZ... I mean, Z!!!

  • Gotta love that Z

  • for some reason or another the numbers from motortend for the the cars seem to change slightly...

  • motor trend just gave a bad review for this car in its roadster form.

  • why does every new car that release are so damn bigger than the previous version and ugly.

  • love the engine sound

  • Really are fantastic cars. I am tempted to trade in the solstice gxp for one. Whats holds me back is it really doesn't have any more power since doing a few mods and I like not having car payments right now.

  • WHATS NEXT 450 Z LOL

  • @black200sxser haha I am hoping (even though I am gonna get rid of my 370z for the C7 corvette) that nissan will put a similar engine to GTR in the next gen Z

  • Sounds like the guy needs to cough and clear his throat haha!

  • this guy talkin into a mic is a fuckin homo

  • 0-60 in 4.7 = Not underpowered

    Class dismissed!

  • A 370 would be nice with about another 100 horsepower, but the body is perfect.  I'd drive it.

  • scribd (dot) com/nb812

  • @zeddy489 If your supra is stock, then it's not eating the Z in any way shape or form.

  • @ambientflier have a look at my 0-60-100 times on my video. Mine is 2002 VVTI, 350 bhp stock

  • Factory standard turbos. <---- what on earth makes you think thats fair? O wait, because it came from the factory right? lalalallol silly people these days

  • can't believe it, these people managed to make a video about one of the most exciting cars... boring? come on, you guys only give credence to the idea that americans can't review cars.

  • kind of looks like a gtr

  • me corro

  • everyone of these "pro" drivers gets a lot of spin off the line. Learn to drive the car!! or maybe it's for show?

  • @kirbienstien Well...they did get a 4.7 to 60, one of the fastest times, so he must be doing something right?

  • did he just say "funnest"? wow. lmfao

  • Good video but I almost fell asleep listening to this guy.

  • He sounds like Microsoft Sam.

  • LOL

  • synchro rev comes with the GT spec car..also includes leather seats

  • haaaaaate the auto blip feature love the car i would get one with the sports pack

  • P.s. Man! I love this car!

  • God! I would love to own that exact car... So Beautiful... Love the color too...

  • this car is awsome and much like the gtr with less tech.and the guy talking seemed really excited about this car.

  • Is this thing, the synchro rev match, optional or it comes in every 370Z,... or you turn it on & off? The fun part of buying a sport car is you been able to change gears, braking and accelerating, doing your foot work, toe & heel and all, keeping the engine in the right rev all the time. My son just both a 350Z 2008 and I could never drive it around any other way. I said even driving, not racing. Amazing, this guy thinks it is a cool feature! I tell you,...some sport car drivers!!!

  • Its a feature you can turn off if you dont want it and just heal and toe your self..Not sure if its an option or if it comes standard though..

  • i believe it comes with the sync rev at "off" switch.

  • fuck

  • fuck the camaro SS nigga

  • i prefer the Z to the GT-R, cause it's more direct (less electronic) and is better in cornering (0.97G for the Z vs 0.90G for the GT-R) and i love the way the Z sounds! I love the 350Z and 370Z :)

  • I love a stick+rwd as much as the next guy but you have seriously got to be kidding me. The Z could never come anywhere near competing with the GT-R in any way, not even if you threw a TT kit in there. 4WD and Dual clutch transmissions are the way of the future with speed.

    The Z is a great car, I'd have gotten it over my G37 if I didn't need back seats, but don't be so ridiculous as to compare it to the GT-R. If you actually took each for a drive you would never think like that again.

  • funnest is not a word!!!

  • boring voice, exciting car

    i'm in love

  • Wish i can try one of those but ill probably get a charlie horse trying to get in that small thing lol

  • You'd be surprised by how much room it has.

  • yes the room should be fine but its the height now that they shorten it its gonna be a little harder for me to enter because im a pretty tall person

  • the speedometer goes 180, not 160

  • u guys are fuken funny infants

  • anyone know it's top speed?

  • the shot of the speedometer showed a max of 160

  • Damn, I want one.

  • かっくいい~!!

  • This car looks sweet, like a cross between an Aston Marton and a Porsche.

  • Speak up you make the car sound dull

  • you sound sooo bored... makes it really boring too. love the car though.

  • Hey Dumb Fuck! Korean Cars are good. Check out the Genesis and Korea have really good cars in Korea but they are not selling them to other countries because Hyundai is not as popular as other Jap cars, at least not yet. Don't talk shit about other companies unless you know them well.

  • Genesis is such a copy of Mercedes Benz front and BMW tail in appearance with a lame engine. Hyundai did this on a cheap vehicle called sonata too(with Jaguar's tail light, the company has always been coping from other famous well known car companies. such a shame of Asia. go compete with those shit Chinese car companies.

  • I agree with Genesis lookin like Mercedes a bit but hey dip shit hyundai doesn't always copy other cars. Jaguars n Aston Martins luk alike but does that mean they are shitty cars? n jst for being racist to chinese go get raped by a chinese man n get ur 2inch dick cut off and n eat it.

  • lol, Guess what, I myself is Chinese. not like you, I know our cars are not good at all just like our national soccer team. Hyundai is a cheap shit company, take that, cheap cheap shit shit shit shit company copies other car company most of the time. by the way, you need to enquiry a doctor about your vision. Jaguars looks like Aston Marting, Lmao ,from a Korean narrow eyes perspective?! hahahah

  • dude wats funy is that ur more rasist Hyundai is korean not chinese now ur going to get raped by a korean guy

  • dude i am Korean and i wasnt being racist at all and i kno hyndai is korean dumbass and i probably kno more about hyundai than u kno about ur mom.

  • fuk hyundai and fuk u u may know about hyundai more than me but u dont know shit about cars aston and a jaguar looks completly different and i dont give a shit about hyundai and there are korean cars inported to the us and uk moron and i know about my mom i even know about ur mom because i tapped that ass and fuk u panny ass muthafuka

  • dude i created u and aston martin vintage and Jaguar XK do look alike especially from the back now just go cut you fingers off and feed it too your half-ape mom!

  • sure u did and now ur taking my jokes get a life and ur dad a fuking pig and ur whole family can suk my dick say that to my face and i will dropp u like i did to ur mom dumb muthafuka

  • well the front grill of a genesis is NOTHING like a Mercedes Benz hey im korean but i dont give a shit about hyundai Mercedes Benz and BMW is sexy and worth the extra money

  • he just said "funnest"

  • Wow, motortrend is still using wired microphones......

  • wow...really nice

  • Love this new shorter wider Z. Great to see some retro styling but not too much at the same time. Great little car at a decent price, fun as hell to drive.

    That being said this guy's voice and style is very uninspiring.

  • Can't understand a word this guy says. My god he's annoying!

  • Think about R35

  • 370z has a 3.7litre engine. it is not slow

  • i dont know if i should get this 370z and hook it up or a 09 BMW M3

  • i would get an M3

  • if money is no option theres no question go with the m3... but its base price is about $24,000 more than the Z

  • M3 if you can afford it. Remember, the M3 can be an everyday car with rear seats and a usable trunk. It's sounds silly, but for and everyday car, you want those amenities.

  • m3 if you got the dough

  • yes

  • i think most people think hes boring cuz he doesnt have a sweet accent.

  • Jesus H Christ never let this man speak in a review again

  • this guy is so fUCking BOring! holy shit i can't watch this motha fucka anymore!

  • what a moron this guy is (TheCottonTop) , Mustang cant hold a candle to the 370z.

  • ah looks like you are complaining, why not you just keep your mouth shut and think that the Japanese have come up with cars that are cheap to afford and has the level of luxury similar to a Euro Car.

  • funnest??? learn english pls

  • shape looks streamline

    what's the drag coefficient of this beast?

  • Great review... except that the guy is really dull

  • dosn't the viper acr or have the record now anyway

  • ( o : how about a small V8 4 litre : o )

  • Dear narrator,

    wake the fuck up!

    does anybody else think this car looks like a cross breed of the old 240z and a current porsche?

  • everyones stats are different. everyone else says the 0-60 is 5.2 and braking was 101ft. which is it

  • motortrend has the best stats if others get lets say 5.1 is because they werent capable (good enough) to get those speeds because i dont think a nationwide magazine would lie

  • this car looks awesome in person.

  • Comment removed

  • wow.. the narrator is putting me to sleep.

  • Heh, I was thinking the same thing.

    Way to drum up enthusiasm for enthusiast cars, motor trend.

  • i want@!||!!!!!

  • i serious question

    DOES IT DRIFT????/

  • depends if you can drive... as he said though with the sport pack it has a limited slip diff, so that will be a LOT of fun!!!

  • Not if you know how to drive.

  • nothing beats the style of the 89-98 z, but this thing looks amazing..... twin turbo would be a nice option for this car! lets hope something is in the works

  • 300zx was an awesome car....but this one is good too. A twin turbo most definitely would make a good option, it would keep the weight lower than a small V8. Got to hand it to Nissan (especially the Infiniti division), they make good cars. In fact, my favorite import cars....still not sure whether I would buy a Camaro SS or this, probably a Camaro SS though, even though I respect the hell out of this car and it handles awesome.

  • JESUSSSS!!!

  • lol the presenter is very chilled out.

  • haha / dull?

  • Does anyone else wish there was a twin turbo / supercharged premium version??

    Maybe its the kid in me.

  • dude, that woud be so sweet.

    then again, i am a kid

  • the presenter is so chilled. hahaha

  • I am a mustang guy at heart and been building a 00' GT for some time now..so imports are my fav at all but, this is one that I would own in a second I love this car awesome

  • is it on automatic????

  • Even though I don't really like the new look, the lighter weight, wider stance, and more power make me jealous. :( My 350z isn't the bee's knees anymore.

  • i wanna cry so bad

    its so damn beuatifullll

    imma buy for SURE but it will take me about 2 yrs =[

    im still in high school n dont have the money required but i will!!!

    I WILL!!! lol =]

    its new

    its fast

    its SEXY!!

    OMG!

  • FUCK!! I JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 350z AND NOW I SEE THIS 370z!???!! FUCK!!

  • 350z is still a great car!

  • are you fucking retarded?

  • wtf do you mean bitch?

  • actually the 370 uses less gas and is ligher and shorter compared to 350z

  • He even said that it was lighter in the video and it gets better gas mileage

  • i know i commented before i saw the vid. lol im stupid... :)

  • wow this guy sounds really exited about this car you can hear it in his voice
