Default The 370z is slow?

So, someone I know had a discussion with me and said the 370Z is slow! I personally don't have a z but I have a 2010 maxima, but I know the Zs are quick as ****. Now he said a evo is fast and he was praising the evo, but as soon as I said z, he shifted gears lmfao. I mean his opinion. Give me some reason why this ***** is a fucccck boy.

slow is subjective.

People might think a Z is slow, others might think a Prius is slow (they're really not), and others might think a GTR is slow.

Whatever.

The EVO is quick. But, I don't like the look or feel of it on the road. AWD has a good potential, and better application in rally/bad weather, but I prefer to be able to easily swing my arse wide and with stride.

You want 'quick', get an EVO or Si. You want 'fast', get American muscle. You want 'sport', get a Z. You wanna look like a douche, BMW. lol

Compare and contrast for yourself.

FastestLaps.com - Road legal sportscar lap times, stats, pictures and more! -- choose Nissan 2009 370Z and whatever you want to compare it to. If there's data, you'll have an answer.

Definitely FASTER than a Evo X...

"Slow" is subjective. To me, slow is 14 seconds or more on the 1/4 mile. Anything in the 13 second range is quick. 12 and under is fast. That's just me.

Is this thread for real? The Z is quick. The Evo has an advantage being turbo and AWD. There's always someone faster so I don't lose sleep over it. The Evo is and will always be boy racer.

What about 1-mile or 5 miles or 100,000 miles. I can put this car on the limiter at 155+mph here in Germany. That is not slow. It also gets there pretty quick as well.

My car is bone stock and the only pushing me out of the way, on a good day on the Autobahn is something like a GT3 or Turbo 911. They have much more horsepower but they are not blowing me off the road in anyway.

There is always something quicker or more powerful but in the US at 68mph on cruize control is there any debate to begin with LOL!???

If you get to drive this car they way I am lucky to enjoy it the debate is useless bar talk. This car gets it done and well. Reliably to boot with reasonable fuel economy as a bonus. The Z is a great package. NO question.

Cherry,

The car is great at any speed. I love the feel this car gives at any speed. The acceleration, handling and overall driving experience is very pleasing. Also the car is not a boat like so many higher powered vehicles as well. The size even here is great as parking around this part of the world is tight sometimes!
I think we would all enjoy it more if we just not worry so much about the term 'speed'

The Evo feels faster than the Z only because the turbo kicks in at low RPM and put you back to the seat hard. But the Z gets more power when it revs up at higher rpm. Although the z feels more linear, it's no slower than the Evo if it's not faster.
