I'm sorry, but Dave or any other sponsor like them is deplorably bad. This only highlights the disparity that people across this Country are living in poverty. So much so the only way they can get by is an advance on a paycheck they'd otherwise earn from the work they'd be doing. It's downright sickening that people accept this as normal, it doesn't have to be normal. It's painful to say, but I live by the principal that all people should make a living wage. Though if at that point they make bad financial choices that's on them, and I can't really have empathy for that. I love the content this channel provides, but it's getting increasingly more difficult for me to even support, giving a like or share to help grow this channel. I get it, the expenses you have are costly, but surely a subscriber or fans only donations to content would offset what you'd stand to lose from these awful sponsors. Be it we get your uploads early, get to vote on future content, chat with you, etc surely that'd be objectively better, wouldn't it?

I own a 2011 Infiniti EX35. It has the VQ35HR with 297HP from factory, and the same chassis and the G35/37 only a couple inches longer and a wagon body. The thing is decently quick, looks unassuming, and is practical as hell with some nice frills. If you're ever looking for a practical sleeper that is a little different look into them. They can be modified quite if you don't want to keep it stock as well.

A buddy of mine had a 370z, I scratched my head as to why he'd buy that vs. getting a 5.0 mustang. I understood why he bought it after he let me drive it; you feel connected to it, like it's an extension of your body. The way the cockpit felt, the rev-matched downshifts, the sound of a healthy V-6 was a ton of fun. There is something to be said about staying N/A and having a high RPM screamer.

[@IPL_VIC]

Interesting story. I always liked the 5.0’s but after driving so many at my job, they never felt as connected as my g37. Especially a manual vq car, they feel so connected to the road, it really is a missing feature from many modern cars today

I've had my 370Z for almost a year and love it to death (I've only done basic mods so far... softer clutch pedal spring, Invidia Gemini catback exhaust and a level 1 tune). No, it's not the fastest car in a straight line, but the ridiculous speed you can carry into corners and somehow not spin out more than makes up for it. The sound of an N/A VQ screaming at 7,000 rpm is just indescribably beautiful. The Z is a timeless, pure driver's car.

[@weewoo174]

I've done the exact same mods for my 370 so far but with suspension. In my opinion the invidia gemini catback is the best sounding exhaust for this car because it sounds sporty with like no rasp and will never be obnoxiously loud.

I’ve had my Z now for four years and I’d like to say I’ve tastefully modified it without it being obnoxious or too much.

People either build them to stance or race against 5.0’s in a straight line. They’re really built for handling and things like autocross or canyon driving. I think for the money, it’s best to track them at events and autocross because boosting them, although they make power for a light car, it’s just the power per dollar to daily isn’t as good as compared to others

The new accord 10 speed is amazing the 10 speed mustang and my buddies ZF 8 speed in his BMW are also great this doesn’t even scratch the DSG surface. Obviously golden age muscle cars, JDM cars, and European cars are better with a manual transmission but for modern speed unless you just want an analog drivers car the manual isn’t the choice for speed anymore not sure why so many people treat modern autos like the plague.

Is that poor Z even on the road anymore? Owner is a complete tool who did all the obnoxious things that give Z owners a bad reputation.

Ridiculous spoiler ("for downforce bro"). Check. Popcorn exhaust, so you can alert all the ladies of your arrival when you pull up to da club. Check. Carbon fiber steering wheel...you've got to be kdding me. Only thing missing is racing seats with the 5 point harnesses, because you know you've got to be safe on your way to the office. Also, the 7-speeds in Z's are actually quite good and as with most auto cars these days, a couple tenths of a second faster than the stick shifts. I almost wish I had one sometimes when I'm doing bumper to bumper in rush hour traffic.

1) Not always true...look into helmholtz for exhaust...you can straight pipe with long tube headers and sounds amazing. VQs actually have a very nice tune with the right exhaust set up. 2) Guys just having fun with their cars. Z can handle and corner like a fighter jet on land. So even though they are not fast in straight line (mine's on nitrous btw and slicks)...they can carve corners. 3) Can't argue with this...seems like the Honda crowd is slowly migrating this way and scene has changed since more than a decade ago. I'm always looking to hop to maybe a GTR or something else, but the Z keeps reeling me back in. Car is just fun especially with the right mods.

I used to have a 370Z and this burble tune crap reminds me of the people that put on those obnoxiously loud exhausts on their 4 cylinder Honda civic. Having an obnoxious exhaust setup on a Z or VG in general reminds me of that. “I’ve got a stupid loud car but I’m slow!!” Sort of thing.

Never understood why people hate the note yet can love the LFA sound. Yamaha literally made it to sound like music.(I too, enjoy it) The VQ sounding tromboney is a similar thing whether intentional or not, and just another variation on/the successor to those great sounding exhausts from rb powered Nissans. It's different. Different is good. 🤷‍♂️
