JUN's Opinion - 350Z

Turbo magazine went to Japan and interviewed Mr. Koyama, JUNn's Managing Director of Auto Mechanics, and Ms Tanaka, the granddaughter of JUN's founder for a general interview on who/what JUN is.

Here's what they had to say about the 350Z.....

Mr. Koyama feels that the 350Z is good for cruising on the highway, but needs work for street tuning. Ms. Tanaka and Mr. Koyama feel there are problems with the 350Z chassis, because the manufacturer wanted to use the same parts for a variety of models and now the 350Z chassis is left being too high. Since Nissan was looking for cross-performance for the 350Z line, they made the model look sportier than it is, Mr. Koyama and Ms. Tanaka maintain. "It's not a sports car, it's a sports-like car".

Page 98-99 of the 9/06 issue. Not stirring the pot, not stating personal opinion, just stating facts.......

But most 350Z owners will never see this, as they don't read a magazine dedicated to turbocharged/forced induction engines.
