Since then, the genesis, mustang, and camaro have been upgraded at least once if not twice. The Z meanwhile was only upgraded aesthetically. I assume the Z35 will return to the top or near the top, unless they go for a lighter weight car with less power.
Howdy, stranger. :tiphat:

It's not the car, it's the driver.

Why is the Audi TT never on the list for a 370Z comparison car?

I TT mine and still get my a$$ waxed by some few stangs and what not...but there is always someone faster and better. Really, for all the things you can do with a Z compared to other imports your are way ahead, performance and power per dollar.

Why is the Z slower than comparable cars?

Because you're comparing it to faster cars.

Compare it to a slower one and see if it's faster THEN?! :roflpuke2:

:iagree: You want the Z's true competitors (RWD, front engine, 2 seaters, with similar power plants) you get Audi TT, BMW Z4, Porsche Boxster/Cayman.

EDIT: I realize the Porsches are not Front engine, but other factors are consistent :tup:

As far as I can tell, all the cars that are faster than the Z (and in the same price range) don't handle near as well. If you want a straight-line drag car, buy one of the hyper-horsepowered Challenger/Mustang/Camaros. If you want a car that can carve a corner (and still do a respectable job in the quarter), get a Z. YMMV

The z34 wasn't designed for 0-60 time or straights. It was built for tracks and circuits. I've come to terms with the car not being "fast" a month after I took her home from the dealership. She's quick and can take a corner very aggressively. Are there other cars faster than the z? well yeah but try taking them into a corner with the Z and watch the Z overtake and pull away.

Unless you count the over-heating oil, boiling brake fluid, and fuel starvation... YES, it is READY for the racetrack.

People seem to want to compare the 370Z (Roadster) to the Porsche Boxter

Really??? 370Z vs. Boxster 4 cylinder

What do you think (know) would happen in a real test vs the Porsche??:eekdance:
