cant?
well thats because the Z is the best of the best in its category, it handles well, its fast around the track, and it has 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times that compare to high displacement V8s and turbo V6s

saying the 370z is a weak car is like saying morphine is a weak pain killer

and no im not being a fan boy, i know there are cars faster then the 370z, but in its class, its a fast car and heck its probably one of the fastest out there

does it have to be a "v6" or can it be an I6 or flat 6. every porsche made, and bmw m3 come to mind.

but i do see your point, it does have a niche in the market right now

this is what i meant lol, but i thought the 370z was faster then the E46 M3?

on a track day it definitely a drivers game, but i thought the 370z was faster then the m3 around the track when given to a professional driver

EDIT:
yep it is faster behind the hands of the stig

I thought the M3 is a V8?

Mixing past nd present? He did say 'V6" and the Z has been faster in a straight line than cayman's and Cayman S. anything else, you are going three times the Z price and you're probably including F.I.'d 6's.

The Z is probably the fastest NA v6 to $60k, hands down, and beats some turbo 6's, not all..
