the new 370z - really that fast?

i honestly wouldnt compare the Z to a 335. the car feels are completely different. it's sad when people base their opinions on a 1/4 mile run.

+1. A lot of my old Mustang buddies don't understand why my next ride is going to be a Z simply because they only see performance in terms of the 1/4 mile. This car is so much more than that.

Having done 140MPH in this car within the last two weeks, there is plenty of power and speed left in my 370z, at 120 you can feel the power coming as you climb to 130 then 140 and for me, when is the next time I am going to a track and run the 1/4 mile, never. But I have yet to leave a red light and not get my way to the front of the pack.

And I have always valued roll on speed, How fast can I go from 55 to 75 to get around an idiot on the highway, and this car rolls on power.

that sounds good. i was a bit worried cause many people here complained about the lack of power of the 350z, that they are not as powerful as numbers say and dynos proved that many had very low results. but it seems that the new engine is healthier and stronger...

In comparison to my old 350Z the one thing I really like is the power delivery of the 370Z. Seems to have alot more pull in the upper RPMs than my 350Z did. You can get on the 370Z and it pulls hard all the way to redline.

I have to agree with you, all of my buds and co-workers are saying the same...and I also agree that its NOT all about the quarter mile time.

I look for great performance in many areas, and it seems the 370z has been consistently in the top of all of those areas, from interior styling, to exterior styling, to engine performance, to chassis performance.
