350z weren't that fast

new 370z are ligher and have more hp
0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, the quarter in 13.3 at 105.7 mph, maximum lateral grip a face-distorting 0.99 g.

I never drove a 370... What were the specs on the 350z?


I worked with a girl that sold her STi to get a 350Z when they came out and she said it was much faster then her STi... I believed her until I drove it, then I was like

If this is coming with the non turbo motor then I'd say on par.

If they do an AWD turbo model what is gonna happen to the STI? Subaru does't like to have competition between its own models.

That's why I think they have treated the LGT the way they have.

Zs are not slow. Its just that the power delivery comes on smoother, that you dont realize it.

Its like the E36 M3. inline six, all sorts of torque. Before you know it, youre doing 120 but feeling like youre doing 60.

edit, that car better weigh at MOST 3100 pounds

Sounds exciting, but I'll believe it when SOA announces what we get here in America.

Who exactly is confirmed this? Some unnamed source from some random JDM website?

I mean, I'd love it if it were true (and it seems like there is a good chance it is), but I don't think we can really call it confirmed.
