Honestly I'm not sure. If they make another Z then I'll look into it but let's take a look at reality. In 1995 the Z at the time was a 300zx.. the twin turbo made what, 300hp roughly? Back in the day that was impressive and fast. The corvette in 1995 also made 300 horsepower with the LT1, correct?

Okay so pretty much 14 years later (2009 model year) the 370z comes out with 332 horses. It may seem impressive out of a 3.7L (in certainly is) but in respect to the LS1 camaros they are practically identical in straightline performance...

Do you see where I'm heading here. 332 horses (flywheel) just doesn't cut it anymore. The m3 makes 400+, the Camaro SS, SRT8 Challenger, Mustang all make over 400 horses. Now do you understand? Yeah, the 370z lacks power so in the future I'm buying a faster car. Why downgrade?
