I literally just got the suspension sorted for STU, and now they make the Z a viable contender in DS?!

Yeah, I realise I don't care that much. The open diff and VLSD in the 350z are hot garbage, and there's no way you can convince me to give up my OS Giken.

Well, in 2005 they tacked on an e-diff, so my 14-year-old VLSD is still leaving "11s". It's only on accelerating after hard cornering when I don't turn the shocks up that the e-diff kicks in.

Yup. Not with the 2.0T Camaro in the class, now, too.

300HP vs. 275HP. 3200lbs vs. 3400lbs(plus!). Narrower track, shorter wheelbase. Yeah, they've got 295ft/lb vs. my 270ft/lb and can run bigger tires. I've lived that situation for the past 14 years - it turns out that the Camaro is at the same disadvantage in that comparison as the Z was when running against lighter, smaller competition.
