Why does the 370z get so much disrespect...

He shied away after that with no interest in running against my Z.

From everything I have read, the 5.0 should be faster than our Zs in the 1/4 mile. What were their trap speeds compared to yours?

The coyote 5.0s should beat the 370z in a straight line I think they run 5 sec 0-60

A 13' 5.0 weighs 3622lbs, 0-60mph in 4.3sec and 1/4 in 12.7sec @ 111mph. They come with an actual LSD, and handle alot better than what you guys think.

Specs came from MT, and testing was done with 6mt. I'm sure their auto is a little faster.

By paper the 5.0 is faster. It's launching then that kills them at the strip. For all the average Joes it's a drivers race. The automatic Z launches hard and quick while the stang hops and jumps out the hole. The challengers are overweight and can easily be beat. Camaros are the same too. Once they put a few mods on them it's over tho but stock for stock the 6 banger Z will win more than you think.

But you are talking about driver skill, not the capabilities of the car.
