OP, I just got a 370Z after owning a stage 2 Evo X. The Z didn't seem very fast at all - at first. I was so used to the "slam you back in your seat" feeling of a boosted car that I forgot how smooth and linear the pick up on the VQ felt (also owned an 06 350Z prior to the Evo). I'll tell you what, a week and a half later, I'm finally hitting that sweet spot and learning how to shift the Z's notchy trans again... today I was thoroughly impressed with the acceleration the stock 370 has. Definitely a LOT faster than my 06 Z ever was (rev-up engine, non HR, cbe exhaust/intake/mrev2/plenum spacer). And the handling, I am not sure I even want to touch the suspension with any aftermarket mods. It feels THAT good.
