Basically, it has been nearly 20 years and the only thing the 370Z seems to do better is about .2-4 seconds faster to 60mph on its newer compound tires.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say that if no real progress has been made in 20 years, that's a resounding loss.

MKIV FTW!

to be fair, some of the "progress" we've experienced over the years has made our vehicles slower. All the computer hardware, the safety features that have added weight... It's a lot. In fact, it's why we have the hp wars we currently have. Got to move the whales faster.

Also, I know that the Z isn't your cup of tea, but on a daily basis, how much more do you need than 0-60 in 5 seconds and 332bhp? I know that you crave more, but not everyone does.
