Dang how do you beat them with those powerful engines?
Driving skills and a lot of luck should be the game changer to win,

But what really puzzle me is how the Kia optima at the world series could be that fast and win races!

The V8s have weight penalties and some motor restrictions compared to 370z and the VQHR race motors the 370z use make well north of 400 WHP and 370z is lighter and more aero. The motors aren't like anything a stock 370 would run as they use 350z heads with race cams etc. 370z aren't as hard on tires and brakes as bigger cars either which helps in endurance series. 370z also gets better gas mileage than big v8 cars.

I guess I'm prejudice with car brands, just couldn't accept a Korean car trashing other high end euro and japo cars.

I definitely agree with you the 370z in my mind is such a formidable track car but those camaros just way too fast and powerful at the straights!

The Z28r weighs 3500 lbs and runs a restrictor
The Z weighs 2850 and is allowed a lot more as far as engine restrictions (HR heads, cams, headers etc)
We were averaging about ..5-1.25 a seconds per lap the last 30 minutes once their tires start to go off.
Its a huge chess game.
