I was out the other day about to merge (Honda with a tin can exhaust next to me) so I floored it to jump ahead of him and there was a good 3 sec delay ... really disappointed. Especially because in my head I was gonna own this guy, but by the time I accelerated I had to slow back down to let him in!

Had the same problem, I thought something was wrong with the car since I have only had it for 3 weeks. My 350zRoadster was fast off the line, my 370z was sluggish. I turned off the VDC or traction control, problem solved!

The traction control on my 350 Roadster was not this tempermental but I can honestly say it make the 370z feel like it's straining. I turn it off everytime i start the car now. I wish I could reverse the toggle so its always off and turn it on when I need it.

Then you are having a different problem, or at least a watered down version of our problem. This problem we are referring to is irrelevant whether you have VDC or SRM on/off.

^^^yeah i had VDC off today and it fell on its face several times^^^

Does anyone know if this is happening to the Nismo at all?? I don't recall seeing anyone in this thread with a Nismo version and I'm SERIOUSLY considering a trade-in.

I haven't heard of many people in this area (south florida) experiencing this much. I know I haven't. Hell, I don't even think I've ever seen my oil temps go above 220, even when pushing the car.

off topic, do you work on 136 and 14th st by the HBO building? I rarely see 370Z's here and even rarer that I see a red one
