Well, technically it does not need 300HP to compete with the Z but it would require them to meet the weight of 2500lbs.

yah, i think it has to do with how many seats the car has.

so we are compared to the miata.

Catagories and their weight in the overall analysis:

Slalom & Skidpad: 10%

0-60 and 1/4 mile: 20%

Fit, finish, and interior: 10%

Door integrity: 60%

We don't stand a chance.

I still have people ask me what kind of car I'm driving. And what a beauty it is. Yesterday was "well what happened to the 360 after the 350Z?" I just told him that naming a car the 360 might make it seem like it spins out alot.

He accepted the answer.

as far as i can remember, this car never really got that much attention to begin with, except the general disapproval of the fangs when it first came out.

spearfish25 · 02-03-2011, 03:25 PM

Didn't think of the 2+2 difference. My father has a TTS roadster (no back seat), so it seemed more akin to the Z. But the coupe probably does have the midget back seats.

If the FT-86 comes in under 3,000 lbs and has the STI 300hp motor...goodnight 370Z. There is even talk of an inline 6-cyl. Definitely has my attention.

Let me google that for you

I am kind of disappointed it doesn't receive more press. It is a competitive car in its category and some of the cars that it competes with still get thrown into regular comparisons to this day.
