I came from a stage 2 powered moderately modded 2005 STi. I knew the 370Z would be a tad slower. 5 seconds slower on a 1.5 mile road course, but I am pretty sure I could get that gap down to 2 seconds as I had not been to the track in a while when I brought the Z out there. Z isn't slow by any means but not quite as fast as I had thought. Brakes are as good if not better than the STi but power and and handling are not as good, which some of that is due to AWD vs RWD which is kind of unfair to compare.
