Yeah, that is one thing about the Z. No matter how fast your going it never really feels like you going that fast.

Agree with the statement about not feeling like your going fast. Going down the freeway the other day at 85 i thought i should probably slow down...speed limit was 55. So i went 55 just to see what it felt like...felt like i could run faster than i was going.

Yeah, this car is not slow at all. Sure it's no corvette but still not slow. You get used to is what's the problem. Wait until 1500 miles and then redline it. First gear is quick and second gear pounds you into your seat. And then every gear after that. And the sound is seriously no joke. You will learn to appreciate the car and respect it for what it is. A sports car.
