As far as walking away from a GT500 in a straight line with the Z....That would never happen with anybody at least average in the GT500. My friends Mach 1 can keep up with me and he only has intake and exhaust a programmer and crappy tires. Of course hes a good driver, but still his car is no GT500.

As far as lap times go, im not surprised at the 370z's performance now after owning the car for 10 months...its been bittersweet. Our stock tires need help thats for sure. The Z does not feel connected to the road at all unless you are pushing it hard (which makes it more comfy though when you are cruising) , but once you do that you need an oil cooler. Now i have yet to try different tires, and brake pads on the Z so i havent given up on it yet, better tires usually change a whole lot on the way a car feels...after all they are where the rubber meets the road.
- Hyundai Genesis might be not that far behind....run that car hard and 20,000 miles later....guarantee it will lose horsepower and torque...transmission they may last but engine...they sound like poo poo after they've been broken in...tik tik ping ping vrooom :P
