Why is the Z slower than comparable cars?

Not that the 370 isn't quicker than a 3.8 Genesis. It is. Owned both. It's just not over a second quicker in the 1/4. I miss my 370. Sometimes. When the weather is great and the roads clear, miss my track days, rowing my own gears. But it was so few and far between. The current Z is quick, handles like a dream. Yea we all want more power and speed, me included. Someone a while back said in a rebuttal about more power speed etc in reference to the 86 twins that it's "not deal breaking slow". Which IMO, the Twins are. That being said to keep up with the pack a true Z car is a cheap Porsche fighter. It's gonna need mega weight savings or a mega power bump.
