Any information from you guys would help ... because the 370Z is such an awesome car and I've wanted one for so long! The test drive was way too fast ... I don't know ... I'm so confused

One square block is not even remotely enough of a test drive.
1) Felt good, did not fall in love right away. I test drove one 3 times, always more interested in the handling than the power anyway.
2) Honda S2000 and Evo VIII.
3 Yes, test it again. Ignore the salesman and floor it. The power in the Z does not hit like a turbo and the Z never feels as fast as it is. I have had my 2012 m/t sport for 6 months and I'm still surprised sometimes by what the speedo says in comparison to how fast it feels like. By comparison the S2000 felt faster than it was at any speed, and the Evo had a big turbo so I always felt that kick.
Also, it could be my imagination but it seems like the Z settles in after about a month. Try test driving a used one that's nice and broken in.
