Not sure if it helps, but I had a number of options for a fun street car. I had on the short list a mustang, Camero SS, used corvette, and any number of cars with better statistics than the 370Z. I'd not own any of them except as a second car to the Z (I think they are all worth owning, by the way). I think the Z accelerates just fine, it just isn't as dramatic about it as some of the other options out there. I think it is more fun to drive than most of the V-8s out there, especially in something other than a straight line (even though the lateral accel on some are on a par with the Z).
I turned away from a bunch of other viable options that were more expensive and bought the Z because of the driving pleasure. Zero regrets. Bought a second one as a matter of fact just two weeks ago.
