GT500 vs 370Z

I could see Tsukuba being close, but the GT will still win.

And yes, there'd be no chance for the Z at Laguna.

I don't know. The Z probably has its best chance at a course like Tsukuba. Would probably get blown out at Laguna Seca, though. And most likely owned anywhere with a nice, long straight. Oval courses are completely out lol.

It does have a better shot at Tsukuba, but the GT has more power and better brakes, so it's going to pull the Z from the final hairpin all the way through to turn one, and out of 1 into the next left hand hairpin... There are very few bits of Tsukuba where the Z would be able to make up time as it's really just hairpins connected by short straights.

Like I was saying before. A real road track... GT wins 99% of the time.

Auto X... Z.

Thank God you dress nice, so that I don't have to respect you for your mind.

Actually, now I'd really love to see a Nismo Z (or even sport package) take on a Stang GT (with similar sport trim/packages), and hash it out at Tsukuba! Because I don't think the Stang would win, at least not by a large margin. I think a Z stands a fighting chance.

It would not be a large margin but it'd still win.

I'm getting my passport, we're shipping our cars to Japan, and we're duking this out.

Not fair, though, since you have base brakes.
