The 370z confuses me...

Tracking is not so much about pushing the car to the limit as it is about smooth control through the entire movement of curves, straights. Accel and decel along with braking. It should be a ballet not a crump session. MHO drag racing is cool too but I don't think one setup will work for track and drag. My brother drags his 350 and its pretty much set up for drag. It's also two completely different driving styles and techniques.

And just for clarity we are talking right under 10lbs/HP... Every HP the engine has is only pushing 10lbs stock. :-P

I saw on some link when I did a 370Z 0-60 search that my 2011 7AT base model is the quickest. 4.5 seconds. I believe it too. The car launches quite well from a dead stop. The one thing that I do miss is the thrill of a supercharger releasing like a taut rubber band or the smooth, painless surge when turbos spool up.
