I've owned R32 with stock sport package A7 paddle shifter 370z, all in rolling and 0-whatever in 2.5~3 car length. That R32 was my frined's car, and both car was 100% stock. On a twisty road? Our sports packaged 370z has 0.97G on Skidpad, it's even better record than porsche. Check out what your's got and realize the huge gab btw 370z and R32 :-P

Your best bet is to go test drive the 370z but if you are going to be comparing your AWD car to RWD you should be keeping in mind the AWD advantage when launching. Having driven the 370z it has more than enough power down low to be fun. Just need them to fix the oil temp issue so I can buy mine |

I am aware of the awd advantage over rwd but the 350z won't even break loose without dropin the clutch. Anyway I found a couple dealers around with 370's in stock so hopefully I will get some seat time soon and be able to make my own decision. Thanks for everyone that gave some info. I will post up my thoughts after I drive one.

Wow, is it me or was this pretty much uncalled for. If someone wants to launch their cars, let them. It's their cars, their money. You can't blame someone for wanting to drive the car in the manner it was designed for. |

So I just got back from driving a 370....it's a very nice car and is faster than the 350 it still was disappointing on the low end. Maybe I am expecting to much from these wide angle v6's

Does that mean you're not gonna get one?

I don't think so....My original plan was to get a C6 vette when my current lease was up so thats what I will pry end up getting. I been looking at everything lately though. The 370 interested me cause it is a good looking car and the interiors are real nice...nicer than the vettes ( the 4lt package on newer C6s is on par with the 370 but they are still out of my price range).... but like I said the 370 left me wanting more. There are rumors of VW bringing the R20T over here but since its not even out yet in Europe who knows when we would see it. My past 4 cars have been vw's and if that car was out I would have one already.

Even though I LOVE my 370Z but I do believe it lacks the low end tq my VQ35DE had. Those of us (Digitonium, MSpeasl etc) that drove the 03 Z for a long time, we felt the difference. The new VQ is a beast above 4K rpm but below it, it doesn't have the low end power like 03 Z (just my opinion )
