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

All I have to say is the Z likes to run, and its plenty fast.... Went to an event called wannagofast, and I ran against a Porsche 911, base model,

Went to an event called wannagofast, and I ran against a Porsche 911, base model, 350 HP, a couple of times, the difference was he had me by about 2 miles an hour. I also was against a Jeep SRT V8 and it ended up be the same difference.

The event was simply how fast you could go in a half-mile. the car will hold its own.

Also with full bolt ons you can easily get 370-380 HP / 290-300 TQ at crank which ain't bad.

Oh trust me, I had my fun with the Z. Full bolt ons/tuned, almost 350lbs stripped off. It was fast!

Awesome, I wish there was somewhere around here with a 1/2 mile straight to just mash the gas for fun on
