Why did the 370Z win? In both cases, by purely subjective measures. Because the BMW is dog ugly. Because it is less fun (although, as fast or faster). Because it costs too much.
Well, based off the new numbers from the 7AT test (0-60 4.6 and 1/4 in 13.1), it is MUCH closer to the 135 and best it 0-60.

Also, the 135i NEVER had better handling numbers than the 370Z.
