While I mostly agree with this, there are a lot of other factors that come into play for this. Tire pressure, suspension setup, driving style, alignment, ect. My 370Z will lose rear traction before front traction most of the time, even if I am not on the gas at all...but that is probably due to how I have it set up.

coming from an evo ix, I'm not too impressed, specially at high speeds.

but it looks cool and more upscale so it makes up for the loss of performance.

I know I'm hurting the feelings of the overzealous fan boys here.. sorry.

Comparing the EVO stock to the Z, though, I think the Z takes the cake for acceleration, especially from a roll.

I guess it's true in stock form. my main problem is stability, specially in high speed hard braking. z seems wobbly and scary at high speeds. reached 155 mph kph in the evo with no problem. I've yet to reach 140 on the z cause it's scares the hell out of me. I don't think I can ever drive it as fast.... and I can't brake as hard.

Love the z still and I won't trade it for an evo

You may want to get your alignment checked because I have been 130+ at the track with NO stability issues at all. Feels more stable then my dad's S600 even...

That speed is reached immediately before a big turn where you have to go down to about 60 mph, so there is some hard braking and it feels aokay for me...
