In it I stated the power ratings and average RWHP dynoed by these cars. And I specifically called upon 95 numbers :) Basically they average at 208 RWHP whereas our cars are around 170-175RWHP if we're lucky. THAT'S one of the problems. Screw only 18 more hp at the crank, it's the 28 more at the ground that matters. Not to mention, the Z is NOT 3,200 pounds it's 3,400-3,550 depending upon Coupe or 2+2. That weight makes a BIG difference. Figure 10lbs = 1 horsepower roughly. There's another 20-25 horsepower right there. Add it up, that's a loss on paper. But as I say, an NA has a chance on the freeway, albeit not a great one. It all depends upon conditions of the car, driver, etc. But yes, they are faster cars. As far as the TT statement goes, people thought you (or whoever) were talking about newer M3's which ARE that fast. That should cover it!
The world's two biggest mysteries: The meaning of life and fitting the Howe radiator into the Z...
