I generally look for and give more weight to reviewers who aren't dogging everything on the previous gen in comparison. Otherwise they sound too much like marketing/sales people.

im pretty sceptical to most mainsteam reviewers, they either feel biased like sales people prolly because cars are given be the manufacturers, or spend too much time on useless quirks noone cares about.. noone brings potential technical issues, known engine problems etc

Then pay attention to Savagegeese as they already totally dogged the 370Z in their final review of it.

If Randy Pobst is driving it
Everyday Driver
Matt Farrah
And maybe Jason Cammisa depending which personality version of him you get that video.

The others aren't really drivers, and/or just give positive reviews so they get more cars to do vids on.
Jason Cammisa is good , but he always does that plot twist thing. Where he hypes something up, and then shits on it

That's why I never really liked Raitis Rides. Even though he is a really nice, and very professional reviewer , he is way too positive about every car he reviews .

I like Throttle House because they are entertaining but also give a good, balanced perspective.

I like Savage Geese because they are so low key and grumpy. If they get even slightly excited, you know there is something special about the car.

I like the stuff Carlos Lago and Jason Cammisa are doing.

And it’s always a treat to see Randy Pobst give his opinion.

I am hopeful that they will really like the car. IMO the interior and exterior are big improvement over the 370, which never really excited me. I much preferred the 350 in both cases. The engine seems like it should be very exciting, but the big factor will be how they tweaked the suspension. Were they able to get the car better balanced and more lively? I won’t be tracking the Z probably (have the GT350 for that) but as others have mentioned, once a car reaches a certain level of performance, it becomes less enjoyable in the street. The GT350 is definitely in that performance envelope, and is saved only by its amazing character and driving engagement even when going slow. I am hopeful that the Z will be lots of fun on the back roads. Really looking forward to this car.

That was one of their worst reviews. Mark and Jack are human and they admitted it wasn't up to their standard on their Patreon page. The 370 is one of the all-time best bangs for the buck.

Well it was what they were feeling while driving it. Mark was more negative on it than Jack.

They do have a 370z on the upcoming review, will be interesting to see if they have changed their tune on it.

This should be an epic review, judging by the cinematography 😍

I'm looking forward to Motoman's take. IMO he gives excellent and unbiased views on drivability and handling.
