umm 3 of those cars are AWD so their advantage is exaggerated in wet conditions... the Z is a RWD car w/ summer tires - what do you expect? And

Mitsubishi EVO X MR is very fast car. Even 135i couldn't beat that car. I believe it's a tad faster than the 370z too (even in dry traction). Since you mention wet track, the outcome is understandable. AWD will have advantage over RWD.
