fair comparison maybe but that doesnt have anything to do with it not being the worst car in its class.

no definately not maybe on a smaller skidpad but the 200ft it barely beats the nsx. now i have many theories on this and non of what i am about to say is solid fact but more of food for thought:
wheelbases of both cars?
tires and rims used?
the 4ws is definately just for a shorter turning radius.

i dont think you should compare the 350z to that car and no it doesnt stay even through the 1320 not at all. the 3000gt definately takes off the line and the 1/8th time is better (so is the 60' trap) than the z. but wait something is forgetten. i dont consider those cars in the same class. tt awd vs. na rwd yea rediculous.
you like the nsx since it handles like an exotic and i understand that 100%

i never said it was. i am just saying its the worst in its class. if your going to compare the 300zx to the 3000gt show me the numbers(even though i consider these cars in a different class). there are 4 determining factors of the class of the car: car type(sedan, coupe, etc.), cylinders, forced induction, drive train configuration. when cars are in a lower class with a lower cost and are posting better numbers there is something wrong.

i dont want anymore opinions that arent backed up by any core statistics, this thread is getting dumb real fast.
