Any guestimates on performance?

Actually I might have to revise my expectations for the 370Z. Motor Trend tested a 2009 G37 sedan 7 speed auto at 0-60 in 5.0 seconds flat and the 1/4 mile at 13.5 seconds at 105.3 mph.

The 370Z is quite a bit lighter than a G sedan and has the same engine so seeing a 4.7 second 0-60 run doesn't seem overly optimistic now after reading the above article.

OT: Dude, you guys should read in that Camaro thread where they're using Pearl Harbor as a sound reason not to buy a Japanese car!? I've never heard something so retarded in my life!!!! For that matter I guess because Henry Ford (as I'm sure many of those involved in the establishment of the Detroit Big 3 were - it was just too common) was racist towards blacks means I should never buy a Ford (or any other domestic) because a good portion of my ancestors were/are black?? How retarded.

I joined simply to comment on this quote. I am a big fan of the Camaro but also am a huge fan of the Z; I always have been. I am a member of Camaro5.com, I assumed the site referred to above. The attitude and posting of many of that site's member are completely turning me off to the car. They are so scared of any car overshadowing the Camaro, it's sad.

Just so I am not completely off topic, the 370Z has a power to weight ratio of what 9.6 or 9.7?? With those numbers the car should be able to pull off a 4.7-4.8 second 0-60 run and I'm thinking low 13's in the 1/4 mile. I am more concerned with its track manners, but flatout speed is always fun too.

PS: Looking forward to hopefully more mature conversation than with the Camaro folks.
