While I'm the first person to say I wish the 370 had been a 350+hp car, how do you mean the numbers are disappointing? When I heard the HP, I was expecting it to run 13.5-13.6. The 4th gen f-bods they killed off in 02 weighed 3,411lbs, had about 325 hp, and ran 13.6 in the mags.
So, the Z weighs around 200lbs less and runs .1 - .2 seconds quicker in the quarter mile? Makes sense, and everyone should have expected these QM times.
