Your writeup is a very accurate assessment. It's about exactly the same thing I thought when test driving the 370z. Especially the part about the acceleration. I'm used to my old WRX that was very modded. It would slam your head back in the seat to do the same thing this car was doing with no lurching whatsoever. You know what that means? Stability and control! I autox and track race and a car that doesn't jerk around while ripping thru the pavement is a car that will take some great times on race day
