I would agree with you if you compare stock to stock. Out of production, the 370z has a lot of "cost cutting" in which a lot of us feel Nissan never took the Z to the track during the summer to fully realized the huge drawbacks on the car.

The reason they ranked it low is because of the above issues. If you read the article carefully, they said they would rank it close second to the Evo if the following issues did not occur to them:

1) Rising oil cooler temps (hence why aftermarket oil coolers are highly recommended for the 370z)
2) Brake fade (Stock akebonos do not cool properly, 350z Brembos are a lot better).

However, on the car's "performance" itself and feel, they love it. It's kinda like having an RX-7, you think it's magnificent and if the engine pops, you think it's a piece of crap.

Careful when pulling articles when all you read is the title and summary results.

People's opinions can be different. If I own both cars and which I would sell first, it would be the FRS.
