What i learned on the track over the years was the higher powered cars don't always pull the fastest lap times. People are obsessed with dyno numbers and all that... The Z is a good drivers car but the Evo is the scalpel while the Z is a butter knife. Totally different platforms and power delivery. Curious to see how this Z will hold up on these track days over time. My track days are over but still fun to watch you youngsters having fun. Brings back memories of myself doing the same in my Evo's of yesteryear 😎 Enjoy my friends 👍

Back when the Z was new it was one of the fastest cars in its price bracket. It punched well above its weight. The 2003 was within a few seconds of the porsche Cayman around the nordschleife 8:26. And the 2007 was faster than the dodge viper srt-1 unofficially. Almost equal to the Evo IX. 8:11 is the best '07 z33 time i could find. I don't understand why people keep calling this slow. For a mid 2000's car, at $30000. This was quick ad hell.
