Hope Nissan is watching this...

If you compare the performance of the 370 against exotics from say a few decades ago, they do match or exceed them. You will have to wait a while before the Z catches up to 458 levels however. It the end, drive what makes you happy. If you only plan on going real fast in a straight line, going with American muscle is probably better suited.

On a separate note, I can't believe people still downplay how well the GT-R performs. To get the 370Z to GT-R levels will push your budget beyond what it cost to purchase a GT-R.

Anyway, the reason I would never own a GT-R is the sluggish auto, the weight, and the fact that I want to drive the car--even if the computer can do it better.



So you are saying the 370Z is equal to a 458 in all but engine? I think we have gone too far now...
