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.

#1 I don't believe that AWD gives you an edge on the track, or in any way improves the cars handling (unless on unstable surfaces, which should not be on a track in the first place)
#2 I didn't buy the Z because of its 1/4 mile capabilities... .2 seconds? really??
#3 Are there faster cars out there?? Of course. If I had wanted one of them, I would have bought it.
Lovin' my Z

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

stock vs. stock....close, but the Z edges them both out, put some mods behind the Evo and that changes

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.

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.
