Low end can definitely lack, but you keep the revs above 4500 and you'll have a smile on your face. But like it's already been said, keep your eye on the needle. It doesn't always feel like you're going fast, but you are.

I need to get it on the track, no doubt. I know I made the right decision in buying this car, but was also very impressed with a few of the guys I know who have bought 5.0 mustangs. I'm planning on Solo in the near future and am excited to see how much better it performs there.

I'm pretty pleased with the acceleration. Maybe you're looking for something with more of a jet engine acceleration.

Take it to a real track, the Z is a car for the track not to go around cones in a parking lot, in fact I can almost say the car is too fast for you at the track

Except it overheats and/or we can't get fuel to it on track. Thanks Nissan.

You are right on both, it does suck. I did the oil cooler already, just need to fix the fuel issue next.

Even with those issues, I can't think of a Sports Car (mustangs, M3s, CTS, WD40s, etc aren't sports cars) that gives you as much as the 370z for the money, say you drop another $5k upgrading the Z, you have a sick car in the end.
