Considering buying 370z.

I'll have to side with lamboworld here. As much as I love the power in the Z, those BMW powertrains, are well, just engineering wonders.

Yes, the S54 was putting out as much power back then as our Z is now, but the smoothness of that Beemer engine is awesome (like the vibes of our VQ at 5k+ rpms? ). Their M3 engine is a V8 with an 8500 rpm redline.

Yes, assisted by turbos, but I really toyed with the idea of a "stripped down" new 335i for that powerplant - it's pure awesome. No lag, just gobs and gobs of torque.

Now, the V8 turbo engines that the M5/M6 is about to get? Hopefully I'll never drive one in the next few years... temptation to sell my kids' tuition savings may get the better of me.
