Nissan 370z Fastest V6 Available?

For N/A V6's, I think only Porsche has faster cars (Ok, technically not V6's but still 6cyls). Otherwise, every other faster DD'able production car has more cylinders or forced induction.

The 2016 Camaro will have a 3.6-liter V6.

This is what I wanted to know. I was looking for a car that was comparable in price and performance off the lot, couldn't find one. Yes, porsche would be the the best contender but it wouldnt be in price. Mainly this question popped up because some asshat was trying to argue that any american muscle v6 would eat a 370z any day stock for stock. The conversation almost gave me an annurism.

In that case if you pose a 2015 Ford Mustang 3.7L V6 and the 2015 370z 3.7L, depending on what type of tracking you do it can go either way.

You are on a track course with turns, the Z will have the Stang all day because the stang never can hit that Muscle Car Pull due to turns. In a straight AutoX, the 1/4 would be close... really close. anything 1/2 mile and above the Stang will win because of that Muscle Car Pull.
Have had plenty of encounters while all I had done to my Z was Rim's and Intakes.

In the end you can do nothing except let the vehicle's power state itself. Not many times when you get 2 enthusiastic people talking about different types of cars do you get a compromise unless one person gets tired of talking. Both cars are powerful just in different ways.

Kinda like how I am talking to people with EVO's (unless I know them) just because well 2 reasons: 1. the turbo's sound is annoying when they shift, and 2. EVO owners thing that they are all that and a bag of chips. When in reality the Nissan Maxima has a higher top speed than the EVO and is just as fast lol. Then they start usually talking crap about Z's since mine is there. Not only that they are some of the cockiest drivers on the street you will ever see and when they talk crap to me, well.. I Have fun.. I have baited multiples into getting pulled over for taking off from a red light and street racing just to screw with them, and then I drive by them pulled over nice and slow and laugh.

The 2016 Camaro v6 will most likely match Z performance plus give you backseats.

EVO owners are pretty cocky.. But have you ever met a corvette owner? They have to be the biggest Di*ks around...

Like someone said earlier, the pony cars have similar numbers and may hold their own in a straight line, but that is not why you buy a Z. If I'm buying a pony car I'm not getting 6 cylinders...that just doesn't make since. Beside why would you want a car that everyone else has if you don't need four doors.

wait, Z's a muscle car? really? i never thought of my ride as such... thought Z's got plenty of power for street, plenty of punch to get you in trouble if one's not careful. fast but not too fast is the way to play on the street, imo.

I could never own a V6 Pony car. Cuz deep down, anyone who knows anything about cars, including ones self, will wish they had the V8. I dont care how fast the 6 cylinder is.
