It's not a true sports car, that's not why I bought it. The lowest boost setting brings it to 360 rwhp, and I can add another 3 psi or so on top of that. It's not a drivers race against anybody that isn't Jnaut...I have no trouble turning out sub 5 second 0-60 times starting in 2nd gear, and 0-100 is right around 10 or less. The Z was lucky to do that in high 11's.

Bottom line is you guys are frustrating me...I am still a loyal Z enthusiast, but I'm just pointing out how disappointing it is that Nissan put such an un-tunable motor into the 370. The car would be awesome if you could pump out 400 rwhp for under a grand. Unfortunately, you can't, and as a result...the 135i has been a much more "fun" alternative to my Z.
From one 335i owner to another... 360rwhp is a bit stretched. Maaaaybe 350 at 12-14 psi tune only. Our cars dyno stock around 260-290 depending on elevation and conditions. For example, in Houston I dynoed stock at 282, after tune I was in the 330 range at 12psi. After I installed my dp's, fmic, exhaust I was around 380-390. Then w/ meth I can jump above 400rwhp on pump 93.
