Why is the Z slower than comparable cars?

mishuko

lol car and driver has it up there... but it's a TT come on!

90 ST

I know, there are car, but, front engine, 2 seater...lol

ZMan8

You want the Z's true competitors (RWD, front engine, 2 seaters, with similar power plants) you get Audi TT, BMW Z4, Porsche Boxster/Cayman.

EDIT: I realize the Porsches are not Front engine, but other factors are consistent

Don't forget the F-Type Jaguar!

Another car with similar performance for twice the $$$.

Smashley

Love the F-type The exhaust is amazing.

Hard to talk about the Z when family members buy s*** like this

Z_ealot

Buying it is one thing, actually racing it on a track like it's meant to be is another....and I'm willing to bet that most people that buy that type of car will rarely ever see track time unless they're betting on a horse

The Audi TT is either FF or AWD not FR

I TT mine and still get my a$$ waxed by some few stangs and what not...but there is always someone faster and better. Really, for all the things you can do with a Z compared to other imports your are way ahead, performance and power per dollar.

As far as I can tell, all the cars that are faster than the Z (and in the same price range) don't handle near as well. If you want a straight-line drag car, buy one of the hyper-horsepowered Challenger/Mustang/Camaros. If you want a car that can carve a corner (and still do a respectable job in the quarter), get a Z. YMMV

The z34 wasn't designed for 0-60 time or straights. It was built for tracks and circuits. I've come to terms with the car not being "fast" a month after I took her home from the dealership. She's quick and can take a corner very aggressively. Are there other cars faster than the z? well yeah but try taking them into a corner with the Z and watch the Z overtake and pull away.

People seem to want to compare the 370Z (Roadster) to the Porsche Boxter

Really??? 370Z vs. Boxster 4 cylinder

What do you think (know) would happen in a real test vs the Porsche??

original lsd said nope and did a

the goal was to be a viable option compared to the entry level porches. i think we can all agree the 911 would blow the z out of the water. do a lap around its mom. then go after its children and throw them for a loop.

then eat the dog.
