Z06 vs. 370Z

kenchan · 10-27-2011, 09:28 AM

i think even a stock Z is a tad too fast for street to really have fun without gettng unwanted attention. something happens to your head when you mature. it starts reminding you about all the negatives of going fast on street (citations, causing accidents, hurting people, bodyshop, inconvenience, repair bills, etc etc) and it tires you to even think about speeding.

so from that point of view unless you're going to track the car i would say the 370Z is more than adequate for street. if you want to do dyno wars that's you're call but you'll never be able to use it on the streets without offending someone. kinda like running SSD on a slow computer. over kill.

I think the 370 is fine for street fun.

The thing I am learning as I age is that I don't like really loud exhausts anymore.

Which is funny because your car goes slower every time you add a mod.

It doesn't go slower every time I add a mod, it just seems to asymptotically approach my stock time with seemingly no hope of ever beating it.

Totally agree. I never found the z lacking for power on the street (which should blow the minds of half of you). The has more than enough guts for anything you do on the street--and for most of us, more than we need on the track.
