The Z is only so-so in the power department. It's not slow, but it's not quite as quick as it should be. It pulls pretty well in 3rd and 4th, but I don't think stabbing it in second gear is all that exciting.

To be competitive in the future, the car either needs turbo power or a more advanced, Direct Injected NA motor. Porsche's getting over 400hp out of their NA 3.8L, now (in the new Carrera GTS and Speedster). Nissan should have no problem building an affordable 360-370hp 3.7L DI motor.
