Nissan did beat the ls1....GTR did it. GTR's before did it I believe also (R34).

Nice kill op. What speed did you stop at? And don't worry...my car is slow too.

I believe the 370z's are low 13 second cars. Even motortrend managed a 13.3 at 105.7mph in an automatic (http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...est/index.html). I think a manual could be a hair quicker with a good driver.
It might also be a good race, stock ls1 f-body V. stock 370z.
Apparently, the 2010 outperforms the 370z, according to google ads.

Nice kill OP.

Those cars (well the 350 atleast) fit me well, being that I am 5'6" lol. I have no issues in those cars, or civics. Our cars though...it sucks. I love to have my driving arms straight out, but that does not happen in my Trans Am lol.
