The 370 is a fairly light car though.. if I see 320-330 on a mustang dyno, take out the spare tire, another 10-15 lbs for exhaust, a smaller battery etc, etc... maybe lose a little driver weight and you've got a pretty damn fast Z... faster than many cars on the road anyway. I'd say it's pretty good for an NA V6... IMO of course.

Oh of course, I definitely agree with you there! The thing about the Z is that it really doesn't feel as fast as it is due to the lack of torque, but it can move.

The 370Z feels like a rocket to me. Certainly better than the 350. The 370 has much more TQ than many other NA import sport cars. Take the S2000 for example. Its fast when wound up on the road course, but the S2000 really has no TQ.

Conversely, the American muscle cars are overflowing with power and torque which is great, but their stock suspension is so bad its like driving a boat on Novocaine.

For a NA car, the 370 has a good balance of everything in stock form.
