obviously there are going to be discrepencies in performance figures depending on who drove, ambient temp. what model they drove (there are like four of them) elevation, octane levels, but that's not the point, the point that I was making was that the new z isn't going to be the quarter mile beast that the GTR is, it was made as a sports car. it doesn't really matter what platform it was based on (remember the first porche 911 was based on the volkswagon beattle). Nissan has done alot of work to make sure the new car IS a true sports car, and they intend to prove it as evidence by by their Z33gt the car that will hopefully get them back into Le Mans nest year. And for all of you complaining about weight the Z33gt weighs 2,420lbs and makes an est. 450 bps, and all while adding a roll cage, fire extinguisher system, and other heavy race goodies, so I'm sure that if you don't care about comfort and luxery you should be able to get the weight of the 350z down to around 2,600lbs.

Just in case anyone is interested, here is a photo of the new GTR that will be released in Aus in 4 years time!

Looks kind of like an Infiniti G35 coupe with a body kit trying to make it look like a Ferrari.
