So a 370z exhaust video came up for a recommended vid on youtube. So I watched that followed by a few others. Well I ended up watching a video posted by this one user, and I was compelled to see what other videos this user had posted. After seeing the video description, which included a phone number, I looked up the user name (put a space in it) and it turns out these are videos from a nissan dealership.

Now, I have no problem with a dealer posting videos with information on a car in order to attract more people to buy. But, at least show a bit more confidence and properly describe and display the car. Since it's a dealer, I'm pretty sure they're trying to attract more people to buy, but I honestly don't think I'd find this car amazingly appealing if I was mostly judging it from these videos:

And especially this one...

I understand if he was trying to keep RPMs lower since they might be trying to sell that car, but still... it's almost useless to show a 0-60 of about 7 seconds when the car is obviously (well, as we know at least) faster than that. This is the kind of thing that would turn me away from a dealer, even if I already knew everything and was fully prepared to purchase the car.

Yeah I saw that and was like WTF. Fail. He said it was "QUICK"! Even our cars can get under 6 seconds stock. For god sakes he didn't even try to go fast.
But it woud also turn me off as a buyer to see that teh car was thrashed around and some n00b was posting videos with a camera while driving.

Well... he didn't thrash it very hard, but I know what you mean. One of the searches turned up something about the internet sale department or something like that. So something tells me this might not have been approved by the dealership/his boss, which would explain why he was the only one in the car. Either way, it's hardly a demonstration of the car and doesn't seem like a good sales tactic.

Can someone call that number and ask to go on a test drive with him... and show him how a 370z can really be driven?

yeah... I think that was the same video he talks about how it takes corners like a Z car should (while going 5-10 mph around a curve that could easily be taken at 20-25 mph).

shazy

"Easily faster than the earlier Z, I think the lighter speed has a lot to do with it." ROTF!!!

I dunno guys after seeing this I may have to stop searching for an 8 and buy myself a fancy Z car... S mode looks amazing!

the second video has to be the worst showing of the rev match system.... im not even really sure if he understands what it does.
im pretty sure he is upshifting and thinks that it is working???

lol, I liked that one. I wish the 8 had lighter speed...

he kind of does... maybe. He said you dont lose rpms... but doesn't mention the fact that it actually goes up...
