Integra Type R and Prelude type Sh were respectable. Double Wishbone Suspension was awesome.

cars that rave(d) handling are(were) usually slow.

Had a Z4 now have a Z. Can't really compare though, unless you had an M it was really made for top down cruising. Tramlining was a big issue as well, but to be fair, I over sized the tires. A nice performing Z4 that performs similar to a Z is $60K now.

On that note, what's sad is that a bunch of new FWD cars (e.g., Renault Megane) spanked it around their track...

Well, that's why the battle cry of proud BRZ/FR-S owners is "its not about the numbers!"

Because all the numbers for that car kinda suck...:icon14:

Although they didn't go with my favorite concept iteration, I don't dislike the look of the cars.

If they offered it with 250 - 300 bhp and another 25- 50 lb/ft of tq I'd still consider it as a future car.

there are some douche bags even on this site that will challenge fellow 370Z owners. I don't consider my car to be fast, maybe quick, but not fast, nor do i drive it like it is. one day, i was just cruising @ 45 and a nismo pulls up alongside. i figured it was just a "hey what's up!" kinda thing, but the whole time, it stuck right next to me, whether going slower or speeding up. when i finally went into the left-turn lane, it speeds away with flashers on and giving me a thumbs down. i mean really?? btw, this happened in tampa florida, on dale mabry and gandy. white nismo, with whited-out stock nismo rims and with black-out tail lights.

Lol i loved reading this. I used to own a BRZ before i got my Z. Everywhere i went there was always someone trying to show me how slow my car really was. Just thought it was funny that someone in a BRZ tried going against a 370. BRZ's are pretty and have great handling but thats literally all they have. It was great decision switching over.

What car have you been driving prior to not think the Z is a fast car?

Fast is relative. Sure the Z might seem fast compared to a BRZ/FRS, but if you compare it to something like a Corvette the Z will seem like a slow car. I've driven a modded 335, modded ISF, and test drove a stock C7. All those cars made my Z feel slow. First two couldn't match the handling of the Z, but the last one exceeded it.

a stock 370Z is not fast, but rather quick IMO.

my ex gf's C63 amg, now that sh*t was fast.
