I drive a high horsepower V-8 and also have had many Z cars...300ZX, 350Z and now the 370Z.

The V-8's always give you torque and power down low in the RPM range, and just"pulls" you to redline.

The 300ZX and the 350Z were more in the mid range to top RPM for the fun factor, and for the feeling of a rush.

The 370Z feels slower due to the linear power band that most talk about, but yes, let it rev past 5000Rpm, and man it will feel so much better..

4 cylinders always need to rev high to make power, and the 6 cylinders also need to be revved to make power...The less cylinders, the higher you need to rev.

but the 370Z if kept in the power band, and through some turns, is a blast.

Punch it off the line and let off at 5000rpm, and it will not feel fast at all..
