Right on. Back in 1993 I had a CBR900RR tuned to 120 whp. Rider and bike weighed in at about 650lbs, 5.5 lbs/hp. Yes it was quick, 0-100 in about 6 seconds. Passing on 2 lane roads, no problem. The new version of that bike now has about 150whp. An amazing thrill to ride and hard to beat in a 370z.

But I like my z better. It is a nice compromise of speed, handling and safety for a daily driver.
