Message Ok, first:

: I'm sure that you've read the articles pertaining to first drives of the 350z, no?

The first drives of the car are a poor comparison with Nissan stating that the cars are early production models that don't have the proper suspension dampening(or settings)and the car is only producing 240hp... the production car will have more power... still figured at 286hp. The car that everyone is driving is a beaten horse and not even up to specs. As far as true stats, the Z car ranged widely due to who drove it... anywhere from 13.6 - 15.0 so that really is dependent on the driver. I would wait till the real car is out and the real car is test drove and the real car is settled in. Turbo's are great, and personally I would go with a Z32 myself just because I like 'em better. =)

: The car is supposed to put out nearly the power of the Z32TT 260-280hp and is *supposedly* lighter (probably will be, but doesn't seem like much) and still pulls in 6s 0-60s times and 14s 1/4 miles (I believe November Road and Track). TT's are 5s 0-60 and mid to high 13s 1/4mi times. Not to mention, that common sense and ownership of an actual TT would provide the knowledge that TTs shine after the 1/4 mile. I'm sorry, but the 350Z won't be a TT, it may accelerate somewhat closely, but with a <$30k price range, get real! And living by a stat sheet is no way to live.
