The 350Z is heavy for it's size and power - same weight as a 928, less power (and much less torque) than an S4, but it's definitely smaller. It needs to weight about 500 lbs less.

I was under the impression the 350 zx had 350 BHP...it is why I have avoided them when driving my C4. Never had the good fortune to find one while I was out vette hunting with Gretch.....That is one thing about living in the mountains, legitmate hot rods are rare up here.

Welcome to Lart's other screen name - he's not known for being very subtle.

Yes, with a STOCK 928 that would blow the doors off any STOCK 951

Funny you should mention that... Actually, we were driving eastbound on 800 North in Orem, right at the mouth of the canyon. I had to peel off right to go home, and he headed up the canyon.

Actually, the point of starting this thread wasn't for me to get all smug and boastful about beating a 350Z as much as to point out that there are a fair number of folks out there who...

1. Don't have a clue what a 928 is, or

2. Underestimate what it can do - even to a brand new sports car.

3. And therefore end up figuratively eating a little crow.
