I'm going to assume you mean in a controlled environment i.e. track, as discussion of [Illegal] Street Racing is against forum rules...

Hehe.. Z370 may own corvette on corners. I watched a video on YouTube and they were comparing a Ford Mustang GT and Z370 in a race track. Both car has almost same number on 0-60, quarter mile and braking time from 60-0. But Z370 has a lot more precisions than a mustang. So clearly a Z370 is a winner here.

For the love of God, learn how to spell. And BMW doesn't make a Z370

Are the extra Z's an option? Or are they like V-Tec stickers, in that they add roughly 30-40 bhp/sticker?

And I don't have a favor color. Sorry

200KG less for the Z.

/thread

P.S. I see that you also own a B8 A4, I switch from that to the Z also, and let me tell you that you'll miss all those luxury items, but the feeling you get from the Z will replace those. Instead of luxury/AWD/boring, you'll enjoy responsiveness of the car, the feel of that extra 120HP, and the fun from RWD.

I seriously considered a G37 Coupe before I bought my 370. I drove many of them and I really did enjoy all of the luxury. I love everything about it actually.

The deal breaker was the fact that the G37 never really felt like a sports car to me. It would probably be easier to live with everyday and look just as good, but I didn't want to mod one like I wanted to mod my 370.

Great cars, just not sporty enough for me.

Thanks for sharing your experience. 370Z will be my weekend car while I'm keeping the A4. I really like the 370Z's aggressive look. Case closed.
