The problem is the owners/drivers of Zs... not the car.

My 370z isnt even setup yet, it just isnt setup retarded either. The traction was good enough this year to hang with or beat any other car in the same power range, especially once rolling... because most other cars with this type of power arent setup any better.

Builds like bullets car will never see the drag strip, because it doesnt make sense. Cars like that are money pits with far too much invested to risk taking to the drag strip. If GTM or anybody else wants to prove how quick they can move a 370z down the drag strip they will put a built engine in an otherwise plain 370z that is completely replaceable if it ends up in the wall. Its just not worth taking a 100 grand 370z down the 1/4 when someone can make the same power with a $15 (20-25 retail i suppose) grand build and run it in a plain car with slicks or DRs and probably get better times.
