Nissan 370z test drive since 2008
Zigzag
The Nissan 370z is the better, the stronger his throttle is open: changing the generation, Z-k-ka became faster, but refused to grow up. She is still for maximalists. The discharge of gas under the pulse by the steering wheel is very short, which is a light cut: clicking, and the rear axle already ran away from the trajectory into drift, which is as easy as with gas as to hold a thrown cane in the rack, exposing the palm under its tip. The visk -locking of the posterior differ works in the same way as on the previous 350z, immediately and tightly, turning the ride into a fun and safe game. The new 370z flesh from the flesh is maneuverable 350th, but it is immediately lighter, and shorter, and wider, and you will think more powerful here. And yet, the already swivel 350th, adding two hundred of the cubes of the working volume to its index, did not become unstable or nervous: the characteristic balance of the compartment with a muzzle and a light ass that was well pressed to the road remained as recognizable and original.
The main and most important innovation is introduced into the transmission tunnel of a seven -speed machine. He is magnificent and completely pushes mechanics on all fronts. No, true: the transmission works so controversial and accurately that the desire to wield a lever, tearing his hands from the steering wheel, can only arise because of the need to occupy them with something. The connection of the wheels with the motor is quite rigid to ensure the exact control of the machine even in the drift, or humanly in Russian in sliding. The rate of fire will not allow you to overtake the machine gun by switching the mechanics, despite the funny function of automatic encouraging when choosing a reduced transmission, and automatic honesty will not yield to mechanical sincerity: in manual mode you can hang as much as you like.
If the clutch pedal and the lever of the KP road on their own, you can stay and they are good with them. The clarity of inclusion and, most importantly, the selectivity of the drive has become better, and now you will no longer confuse the third with the first. You can’t advise you to contact the mechanics only for those whose leg of the 45th size of the rogue of the boot constantly touches for something under the torpedo when transferring the left leg from the clutch pedal and vice versa, and the site itself is tilted forward for such an angle, for such an angle, that when trying to lean on its slippery metal surface, the leg slides somewhere in the motor. The pedal overlays are also slippery: even with perfectly clean racing shoes they are not friends.
The engine is familiar and respected for a hundred years. During the next modernization of the VQ series, the VQ series was brought to 3.7 liters and the VVL is equipped with a phase change and valve lifting height system. He is lucky from below to the top, and his power is enough for an easy compartment for his eyes, but his voice ... It is not clear where the characteristic timbre of the famous motor, which sounds thoroughbly on Infiniti G35, and on G37, and FX, and Ex. It is strange that in the very sporting my hypostasis, the motor is only loudly, monotonously cracking, screwing the riders into the ears. Against such a background, not everyone will pay attention even to the work of really good acoustics.
Automatic seven -speed transmission option. A very useful option in Moscow with our traffic jams. Moreover, from the point of view of the running properties and pleasure from piloting, there is no need to do anything magnificent
The V6 engine in New 370z develops 331 hp. And consumes the 98th gasoline. It sounds loud, but not too beautiful. The acoustic background is complemented by excellent acoustics, aerodynamic noises and rumble of tire rolling: 370z Very loud car
High -quality navigation, in addition to good music, a big step forward: 350z in the database only had a cassette radio
It still resembles a fighter of the time of the Great Patriotic War. However, visually heavier and became more solid. The sled character has practically not changed: Mashia simply became a little faster and more modern. Plus now available a machine is the main thing
The chassis is excellent in strict modes. It should be very well on the kochka -high highway of the northern loop of Nyurgurgring: the machine does not lose contact with the surface of the road even on strong fossa and tossing. Suspension and energy intensive, and dense, and this is very good, however, in comparison of its work with the best competing European patterns, it loses in comfort, and in the near-Stolium zone there are great and delay-film, and slander-sustaining even with light steering wheel and discharge -Supporting gas. The kettle has not yet been given the linearity, accuracy and transparency that we are accustomed to over the past few years, and driving in ordinary city or highways does not give pleasure: just shaking and loudly a la sport.
Nissan Z-Series still weapons of disorders, which nowhere and never let go on it at least to a night club, at least on a swivel track: everywhere there is gas to the floor for a squeal of a cheerful girlfriend. European chic, which will be appreciated only by a sophisticated and quite mature man, is not here, but there is a young Japanese character of anime and neon. Those z and famous. That is why his niche is outlined. And he did not leave her, but became more modern.
