your numbers make it look competitive. It is negligibly slower than a 350Z (compare it to the '96 300ZX TT, that would be a fair comparo). The 4 wheel steer is how this 3,800lb goliath of a sports car beats the center engine NSX on the skidpad, top speed is competitive, through the quarter it was even with a 350Z. That doesn't sound so bad to me. I don't like it that much, but it isn't a bad car. I'd rank it even with a 350Z, and the NSX is a league ahead in prestige, if not always performance. NSX is nearly european in execution.
I am not all "Pro VR4", but it isn't a bad car. It is fair, and is a little bit better than (in my opinion) the 300ZX of its day. I am not impressed with the new 350Z at all.
