Ah come one, that's what people expect Camaro owners to say. Be realistic. For horsepower yes, there is nothing more reliable than displacement, but for quickness it's all about power/weight ratio and the 370z is pretty good in that manner.

I remember watching a show on Speed TV a while back where they took a stock Nissan Altima (older one, late 90's) which had 18" wheels and a body kit and they ran it in the 1/4 mile. I clock somewhere in the 17 sec range. They started removing parts to lighten it...first they put small wheels on, then removed body kit, etc. By the end of the show they had removed all seats but driver, carpet, headliner, sound insulation, trunk lid, hood, headlights, DOORS and probably a few more things. It ran a low 14 second 1/4 after that. Was pretty cool.
