takes ages getting to 260 past 220kmh?

I don't condone that driving either, but let's be realistic here... You're dealing with only 332 hp. The car is not going to pull hard in 5th gear from 135

Really? Someone forgot to tell me then. I got up to 140 very quickly in my Z. Had plenty of juice left too. I slowed down b/c I got scared.

I think speed/acceleration is subjective.

I think this proves the point that the Z dies somewhere around after 4th gear is done. Look at the 130-140, and then the 140-150 times.

The Z is still a quick car, maybe not amazing in stock form but I can attest that my modded Z can get up to 140 pretty quickly. The better number to look at on the C&D sheet is the .98g skidpad rating!

Yeah, .98G is pretty good. I think for a car in its price range, the Z handles great!
