I put in my comments (tomwatson is my username there). Yes there are a lot of stupid comments in that thread. Their comparisons of the Z32TT and Z33 really crack me up - stock for stock, the Z33 flat out handles better, and runs similar 1/4 mile times (and the '07 seems to be quicker all around, compared to the Z32TT).

They need to reread the comparisons people did with those cars then they can start talkin ****..

yeah, but with that phrase "are you serious" it seems as if your implicating that the z in no way can stay with the vette. I think we just misunderstood one another. I still say Z for the win lol

There was one guy saying the Z33 was a failure because unlike the C4/C5/C6 it doesn't get faster with every generation. It's funny because he's comparing the Z32 TT which is the high end model and saying the z33 is slower. Well if I compared a C4 ZR-1 with a C5, the C4 would be faster as well. He's just getting all confused because nissan essentially updated the car but deleted their "killer engine" option, just as the corvette has done many times.

This would be an reasonable argument coming from them if they wanted to compare a Twin Turbo Z and Their VR4's. We could just say that our factory 350Z's are faster than their NA 3000GT's. In the end the Z is still 100 times more sexy..

I just looked up the specs on the VR4's. They weigh 3781 lbs with 320hp and 315 tq... SWEET MOTHER THATS HEAVY! The acclaimed 0-60 on this site is 5.4 seconds but that's brand new... like 15 years ago.
The Supra about 3620lbs with 320hp and 315 tq at 5.3 0-60.
the 300ZX at 3481lbs with 300hp and 287 tq. with a 0-60 of 5.2.
the 2007 350z has 306hp and 268 tq weighs 3339 with a 0-60 of 5.4.
SO the current 350Z is nearly as powerful, N/A (so it's cheaper) and has shed some pounds which helps in speed braking and handling. So how has it degressed as others have said? I see improvement. And if you through the new 3.7 VQ in the current Z, it's all over.
