I know these are not a straight line speed kind of car, but I am still expecting some put you in the back of the seat feeling. Anyone else feel this way?

...Hmmm stock 240 SX does zero to 60 in about 8 seconds and 370z does it in about 5 seconds.
I owned a 240 sx too and that truck engine powered car accelerated like a tractor. My Sentra SER was faster. Perhaps youre driving the Z like 240 SX and shifting before you get to 5000 RPM. Z actually makes power to it's 7500 rpm redline. Shift down and use some of those RPMs!
