I think I last drove one four years ago. I want to drive one again just for fun & just compare my memories versus reality.

That's funny that you say the power delivery is strange..... It's quite linear with a very flat torque curve that looks just like the 370z!

Torque is quite low at idle, steadily ramping up, then flattening off near its peak torque at a little over 3,000 rpm, then staying perfectly flat until about 1,500 rpm from redline it trails off just a little, then fuel shutoff.

The real difference is just that the 370z has a lot more of it to work with!
