A question about the 370z pull

elmz · 11-17-2009, 02:45 PM

I think it all depends on the cars you've owned in the past. Your judgement is going to be based on personal experience as well as ours, so opinions will vary. My last car was an 05 350Z and I can tell you the 370Z kicks harder when the power comes on. The 350 was very linear in it's power delivery, and it delivered it early on(peak torque 3800). It was not that exciting and it definitely didn't feel that fast. But going fast and feeling fast are not always the same thing. The 370 doesn't really pickup until after 3-3.5k in my opinion, but when the power comes on it kicks WAY harder than my 350. And it has the same linear delivery, except this time it actually "feels" fast.

+1 I drive a '99 corolla, and whenever i got to drive a 09 C300 and CL600 (v12 bi-turbo FTW) for work, acceleration is (duh) obvious. I still can't get over the fact that when passing someone in the CL600 at 70mph I look down and I'm going 110mph, the car interior is just sooo comfy.

One of my favorite tricks that I know will scare the crap out of most passengers is to cruise along at 40mph in 4th, and then all of a sudden down shift to 2nd and floor it. Just make sure to turn VDC off as this will most certainly chirp the tires.
