It's true though Nissan didn't have a Supra or RX7 breathing down its neck to develop the Z into a faster sports car.

Like previously mentioned I took this article and put it in the "all new technology platform, racing a 2009 base production car."

Let me tell you guys I'm a Honda Master tech up here and I already tried repairing a harness on a CTR with 800 miles only to get California to tell me to replace the whole engine harness on a car with less than 1000 miles. I've spoken to a field engineer on the issue and it seems their production techniques on the wiring aren't holding up to this platforms performance level (not sure how that makes sense, seem's like just bad QC from the factory on the other side of the pond."

TBH the guys who drove my car compared to this CTR admits it has more TQ available sooner (makes sense, turbo).

But our Z's with a tune and bolt ons changes their mind every time in the Z's favor.
For comparison the 370z Sport is available right now in Canada for $34G, still priced lower than those boy racers. Nissan always seems to send in the wrong car for reviews, this isn't the first time, get you're act together Nissan!
