When I first got the 370 I told my wife that it felt like it out accelerates the SS we had, she didn't think so but she's a woman and it's been 7 years since we had that car.

So just to solve our argument, I looked up the 0-60 times and the 1/4 mile times, the z is definitely faster. At least according to this site
Nissan 0-60 Times & Nissan Quarter Mile Times | Nissan Skyline GTR 0-60, Maxima 0-60, Altima SE-R, Murano, 350z, 2012 370z and 2011 Titan 0 to 60 stats!

Besides, the quality is like 10 times better

Your thread here caught my attention because my boss is constantly giving me grief on how I should have bought a corvette like him instead. He says I'm missing two cylinders, lol. I could use the same argument on him I reckon and tell him he should have bought a Ferrari or a viper because he's missing two cylinders lol

Performance-wise, regarding acceleration I love my 'vette.

Problem is, I can only floor it for a few seconds before I'm doing double the limit on any freeway in my area.

Then I stop flooring it and just cruise around, and for that, it flat-out sucks. Interior is very Cobalt. Except the Cobalt's sound-system is better.

I looked up C&D's numbers, and the C5 'vette and the 370Z are identical within the variance of car-to-car in EVERY acceleration aspect I could find. For whatever ricer-math it's worth, I never lost to a C5, or a 2010 SS in my bone-stock 6-speed WS6 (2001). I am expecting similar to the 370Z, and they felt the same to me.

A lot of people say once the C5/F-body hits 3rd gear, it's over, but looking at the 370Z's dyno-charts, I don't see why. It pulls hard right up to red-line, and has a table-flat torque curve and very well-matched gearing.
