I didnt like the American muscle cars of the 90's and early 2000's but recently they have all stepped up their game. Im a fan of the retro look and Im pretty sure the 2012 Boss Mustang is a monster around curves.

My biggest beef with them is how common they are. Im fortunate enough to live somewhere that I barely ever see other 370Z's.

Thank you for echoing my exact sentiments. I am a fan of the retro look... in fact almost bought a new 5.0 GT instead of the Z. But ultimately, came down to "commonality" more than agility. I just didn't want something that would be too common (I see a lot around) or would look mehhh in a few years. The Z was edgy, and sexy... and there are only 2 Z's right now around where I live for the last year.

If you dont track your car, weight makes no difference. My prius is 300lbs lighter than my 370, so what. It's only a number.

ummm weight makes no difference?

not sure if serious, compare the 0-60 times of a stock z vs a z - 300lbs, and tell me weight makes no difference.

power to weight ratio ring a bell?

everyone's points are all valid and points well made
my post was meant to point out that while Nissan
is happy with the status as it is with the 370
Chevrolet Dodge and Ford are moving forward quickly
with their icons. IMO the next Z to compete needs to
learn a lesson from Detroit.

I like my Z, but I wouldn't mind a 2011 5.0.

first off, the mustang and challenger are not faster than the z. the camaro is very close, and if the Z shed a few hundred lbs. my money would be on the z 100%

weight is one of the biggest factors.

Funny, I thought the mustang was faster.

if i was a foot taller, i would be playing in the nba....... what if.......

we are talking about muscle cars, people only care about straight line acceleration.. who cares if it cant turn or stop, its plenty for their owners
