The 370Z can hit 60 mph in 5.1 seconds on a good day, but modern sports cars are almost all in the sub-5-second range. Moreover, the 18 to 19 mpg city and 25 to 26 mpg highway is really dragging Nissan down in the CAFÉ regulations.

does that mean its going to be faster and better mpg?
The 332 hp is ok for now. And just ok. The 276 pound-feet torque is lame. I just read an article on the next gen IPL g coupe. It's gonna be a v6 twin turbo rock 530hp! Since the G and the Z are like cousins, I doubt(also hope!) the next Z is going to be turbo charged!
