Nissan 370Z lap times and specs - FastestLaps.com

Shows that it really depends on track and driver since the cars are close. I do find the motor in the 370Z disappointing - however it is a big step up from the 350Z.

Z was run on a wet track, makes a huge difference in times. It easily beat the Z4 that was run on the same day.

no need to be trolling. No one here said Z4 is slow and ya WET vs DRY is the best way to compare the handling of two cars.
