I'm sure Nissan will be able to smoothen some of that out and hopefully they can properly cool what's going to be a hotter engine under the hood than the VQ. Could be a good car as long as they don't overprice it.
There was always something about the 370Z that made it feel worse than it did on paper for me. I test drove one twice and I was really glad to get back into my Z4M. I'm sure it has more lateral grip stock, but nearly everything else about that car was worse. I suppose my impressions were influenced by how badly the VQ paled in comparison to the S54 despite the figures on paper. The engine just wasn't nearly as responsive or free revving. Didn't feel any faster except at low RPM.
