HP doesn't get you to 60 anyway. TORQUE does. And that, as I said, is where the Supra has it all over the Z. It's my biggest disappointment with the 370Z.

Yes, I have a 2013 Z Sport 6MT. My wife drives it mostly. We had it at the track last Friday. Fun. With a better driver, it would probably get to within 3 or 4 seconds of my 4C, even though I have 93 fewer horses. Power isn't everything!

Your Camaro SS 1LE is, indeed, an amazing and under-appreciated car. I recommend it to a lot of people shopping, and they mostly forgot to look at them or don't know the car. It's definitely worth a look. But more important than "Starbucks"? Jury's out! ;-) LOL.

Right tq does.
Supra rated at 421lbs tq on a dyno. It doesn't matter which dyno you used. You're still over the rating. If it's by that particular dynos 56lbs OVER the brake tq. Not wheel torque. Any dyno will be at least 20lbs rq.

So you think your Z may possibly get to 3 or 4 seconds of your 4c? With a better driver? If you're in the Z or 2 better drivers... ??? I mean all it really takes is a quick dig on motor trend to see if your relative theory holds any weight.

Power isn't everything. But as of now. You're driving a 240hp car that's so light that your power to weight ratio is one of the best in class and you own a Z. Trade your Alfa for a toyobaru and see if you'll be making the same case... ??? Lol.

It's kinda dumb to make a butt dyno theory between your Z and Alfa with fake drivers. I guess that's a true canadian analysis... ??? Lol.

On the top gear track

370z pulled 127.50
Alfa 4c pulled 124.80.

So basically the Alfa was 3.2 seconds faster with 1000 lbs less weight and 110 less hp.
