So I kind of boiled it down to them paying 1300+ to lose to someone with just some shocks even with all the time they did tweaking the settings for the road surface and corners. Keep in mind, this is strictly street in the canyons where the road surface changes where this happened, NOT A RACE TRACK. I assume just the shocks won't do well against someone with coilovers on the racetrack but I've never tried yet but with the sway bars and tires, it should be a good match up.

Your observations reveal the following:
1) Either you are a better driver then they were or your more comfortable with your setup then they are with theirs.
2) Their coilovers were not setup correctly/street use. One of my biggest complaints with the stock setup is how nervous the car feels when you hit a bump under engine load or how bouncy the car gets to the point of losing control at higher speeds. Improperly setup suspension can exaggerate this issue. I get so confused when some drivers say the 370Z is too soft. I would say dampening needs to be softened up so it can soak up the bumps and not make the car nervous. I plan to stiffen the hell out of all the other components like sway bars etc but soften the shocks and see how that works out. I could be understanding it in reverse but coilovers are a great platform to discover on.
3) You have a go baby go button in your car and didn't tell anyone
