Dont be suprised if the 2010 Z edges out the 2010 stang in the straights long before it leaves it in the dust through the corners.
btw.
they took off 250+-lbs. Period.
The fact that they gained 100 in the name of safety is irrelevant because they still managed to take 250lbs off with that included.
too bad those safety nuts are out there, otherwise we're looking at a 3000-3100lb Z ...  |
I don't know where you found those figures, but they aren't correct.
The Z weighs about the same, it certainly didn't drop 200-300 lbs; it gained 30, to be precise. The 350Z weighed in at 3320 lbs, and the 370 at 3350. The 370Z has the EXACT same times as a current model Shelby GT; both will run 0-60 in 5 flat and has a quarter mile of 13.6. Ford said the 2010 would perform almost identically with the Shelby GT/Bullitt. So it'll be a dead heat between a 2010 and a 370Z, but the 2011 should blow the doors off of it in the straights.
I am anxious to see a Nismo tuned version of the 370Z. Let's hope this economy doesn't prevent Nissan from doing it.
I've got the Car & Driver review of the 370Z on my desk here, I'll post it later tonight.
