I can't comment to the ability of C&D car reviewers. It does seem odd that it was the only car with issues though. If the cause was them constantly infringing upon the redline, you'd think that they would have issues with every car they tested, unless for some reason the 370Z is easy to accidentally overrev (I've…

Is it not an issue with the years that have the factory oil cooler (2012+, I believe)? Or are you saying that oil overheating isn't an issue on any year of 370Z?
Don't they also have issues with the engine oil overheating, requiring an aftermarket oil cooler if you intend to track it at all ? It really should be standard on the Nismo model, considering it's a track-oriented car.
Isn't the only LSD that Nissan offers as an option a viscous type? I don't imagine it's much better than having an open diff....
I'm surprised the NASA Skycrane for the Curiosity Rover hasn't been mentioned.
Disagree. Most sporty cars will be unreliable if you beat the hell out of it or modify it, doubly so with cars like this as there were more things to go wrong. However, I owned my '95 VR-4 from 2006 and just sold it about a month ago. I won't say that I didn't have issues, as I definitely did, but neither would I…
I agree with everything you've said.
The long and short answer is that, other than amazon (and their selection is extremely limited), there aren't any reputable dealers in the US that sell these things. At least, not the good ones, to my knowledge. That would probably be why they don't discuss them at all.
There are plenty of dash-cams on the market that have a G-sensor/shock sensor, and when they feel an impact, will automatically save somewhere around 20 seconds before and 20 seconds after the event into a file that will not be automatically overwritten.
Responded to the wrong post. Can't delete. Not liking this new Kinja.
When I was looking for info on dashcams after reading this article posted elsewhere, I found some useful information at http://dashcamtalk.com/ (full disclosure, not my website, I just found them helpful). If you can't find the info you need, you can post in the forums and someone will generally help you out.
I'm looking at pictures of the STI side by side with the Focus ST, and they seem similar in proportions, despite their powertrain differences. It seems like a fairly standard profile, at least when viewed directly from the side.
Taking your other response into account, what you're saying is that you like the front, you like the back, you just don't like them together?
In my opinion, the hatch is the ultimate incarnation of the STI. The WRX/STI is supposed to be a car that is just as capable as a daily driver as it is on the track. The hatch has all the driving characteristics of the sedan, but is infinitely more flexible in terms of load carrying capacity, making it a more…
Your logic does not compute. You say that it's wonderful from the back, but the back is the only part that it doesn't share with the sedan. Everything rear-wheels forward is identical, so if you hate the look of the front of the hatch, by extension you hate the look of the sedan.
"so there is hope that the vehicle and its driver will be identified."
I haven't had much interaction with NASIOC to be honest, so I'll have to take your word for it.

I'll take 'meh' over 'OH GOD MY EYES! WHY, SUBARU? WHY?!?!' any day.
