Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone can explain this. I'm coming from a 350Z and I am lurking always doing research on the 370Z. What I keep finding is the Z34 from 2009-2011 has 0-60 times times of 4.7 seconds and the newer 370Z's are clocked at 5.1 which is extremely close to my old 350Z which was at 5.2. I didn't see any downgraded performance or changes in transmissions since then so what gives? Is it different tires?
