You don't make a claim about a lap time and then go to the trouble of posting pictures of lap times, obviously to support your claim, when there isn't anything of substance in those pictures that actually confirms anything you're saying.

*If you don't want to take my word for it, you have two options. Subscribe to CAR and wait for the next issue, with the Updated lap times, or Pick up the current issue of CAR take pictures of the 350Z's Comparison Vs the Z4, and post them up. I'm not stopping you*

What exactly was the point of posting the pictures again? Could this not have waited until you could take a picture of the new lap time? And why didn't you take a picture of the new lap?

*CAR doesn't list the Newest laptimes obtained in the same issue on the fast lap Section. The cars in Red are newest additions to the list, tested Last issue. Both Motortrend, and Car and Driver practice this as well.*

AAAANNNDDD...big ****ing deal. A 350Z matches an M3's lap time. It's not like the car is undefeatable (although technically, matching isn't beating it now is it? ). And I'm pretty sure everyone here knows the 350Z is a more than capable car on the track. But once again, my point is proven...you're still comparing it to the M3. That ought to tell you something. It's still THE car to try and beat...and they haven't even made the damn thing for a year now. So why don't you wait just a little bit longer,even though it appears waiting might actually kill you, see what the new M3 does and report back to us. I have a feeling the 350Z will once again be playing catch-up for the next few years.

Design for design (market niche), it's true that they're not direct competitors, but I know a lot of buyers who were wavering between the two when choosing to buy a car.

If your a baller that can stomach the price of maintaining a European vehicle then sure but I sure as hell don't want to pay their ridiculous maintenance costs but hey thats cause my pockets aren't so deep. So just let it die and let us have our peace?
