Have you owned a car faster than a 370Z ?
 
At one time I had a 1965 Griffith., which weighed less than 2000 lbs., powered by a Ford 289, 275 h.p. V8, and could do 0-60 in under 5 seconds. Not bad for 1965 ?

Just got rid of this...470hp, 3200 lbs. I actuallly like the Z better...it's not all about horsepower!...:tup:

Is stock EVO9 quicker than stock 370z?
I used to drive EVO9(friend's car) for a week, i think EVO9 was much faster than 370z.

Here was my little beast; I put down 360whp/360wtq on 93pump, mid 400hp on 106 Octane.

yea but Evo9's pretty much drive for you with all their computers AYC, AWC, ABCDEFG and some other acronyms...manuals transmissions almost always seem faster as well...since you have the A7...i drove a friends stock evo..didnt feel very fast until higher revs...its pretty quick

Stock Evos only feel fast cus of boost... my Z is just about as fast as my X was stock... but w/ mods ... forget about it

Had a
91 300ZX TT modified to approx 400 bhp
Stillen Stage 3 2003 350Z with 330rwhp

Still have a 2005 C6 Vette, it was supercharged with 515 rwhp, but ran too hot on track so it is NA now, and only 390 rwhp. Was going to do a stroker engine, but bought the 370 instead, and will just keep the C6 as is.

Holy cow, You are the only person I've ever heard from that owned one. I've one seen one at a car show once. The ultimate more power/less weight car of the era! :tiphat:

How about a bike?

My last car was an 05 STi with 275whp and 308wtrq. It was faster in a straight line. I think with HFC's and catback the Z will be almost as fast as the STi was in a straight line, and might be faster around a road course.

I haven't really researched my numbers and i'm not sure what the setting is in which we are comparing but I've owned a Lotus Elise and a Z4 M Roadster in the last year. (Yes, it's been a good year.) I feel like the M was a little faster, definitely more torque. I know the first time I put it in sport mode and really got on it, I realized that I had never driven anything that fast in my life. :rofl2:

Ok, I had to see the numbers, 370z 0-60 in 4.7, Z4 M 0-60 in 4.8, & Elise 0-60 in 4.9. So they're all within a tenth of a second of each other. I guess the answer to the question is no, but I will say that out of all of them the Lotus was the "easiest" as far as shifting and the whole driver factor is concerned so if I were putting my cars against each other the list would probably go Elise, 370z, M Roady. :)
