All that being said, if the new SS offers steering & handling comparable to a 350, much less a 370, then I will be quite happy. I had a great time driving an '04 350Z but the interior is far too cramped for me to ever purchase one.
I would very much like to see what happens with a Production SS on the Nordeschleife. I would like to think with the Fe3 suspension and the 6.2 under the hood it would throw out an 8:02 or even an 8:00. Like Craig said.... when this time was put in, this was a VERY rough car.
