Hell, a well driven '07+ 350Z and a 5spd Mach 1 would be a great race.

They are actually the same height, and an inch and a half wider and just under 2 inches shorter in length...

But their stance makes them look smaller and more aggressive.

And I've seen that stealthgray metallic in person. That's a badass color on your car.

About on par or a hair slower than an LS1 fbody, but by no means slow for a stock car...

An 07+ 350z should hang with you at higher speeds with a good driver
The '07-08 350Z with 306 hp is pretty strong but a well driven CTS-V especially the one with the LS6 should pull away from the HR Z at higher speeds. Those V's have been known to trap 108-110 stock. A well driven 370Z I'm not so sure though.

When I said hang, I meant that it would still lose. You wouldn't blow it away though.

The 370Z has been trapping from 105-108 so far. It is very aerodynamic though, with a drag coefficient of only .29
I would still expect the CTS-V to come out on top. Though the Z has a gearing and aero advantage, the V just has that much more raw power.

A CTS-V will destroy a 350Z.

The majority of 350Z's trap around 104MPH. Meaning real cars, not the modded ones with DR's on the Z forums trapping 107MPH with guys claiming they are stock

106-108mph 350Zs are like 110mph LS1s. It happens, but it's very rare.

Suspension/Aero/Cosmetic differences seperate the Nismo 350Z vs. the other 07-08 350Zs. They are actually a little slower straight line then a regular 07-08 350Z is because of the extra 100lbs~... their high 13 second cars trapping around 102-105MPH~...regular 07-08 350Zs are mid 13 second cars trapping around 103-106MPH~

Slightly and only in a straight line....their made to handle better...good road course cars.

Now the Nismo 370Z both handles and accelerates better then a regular 370Z....Nismo 370Zs are high 12 second cars from the factory vs. low 13s for regular 370Zs.

Oh... I would love to run 1 of those!!!! Just to see how it holds up against the NizmoZ!!! If it wasnt for my rear dif and wheel hop, then our cars would also be running high 12's as well!!!! I heard threw the greatvine that we will soon be getting a "built ford tough" solution to fix that!!! If you know what I mean

Where are you getting this from??

I've never seen a Nismo 370Z, nor do I believe that it runs 12's.
