On Adams the 370z would probably win by half to a full second on equal tires, more on the oem tires. Why people in solo2 cs qq'd so hard they got the 370z kicked out of the class.

The twins aren't some handling gods. They were meant to be fun, not fast. If don't understand the obsession people on this forum have over lap times. Just accept that the car is a fun drivers car.

You basically just said the same thing I did after criticizing my post lol. On a higher speed track, the Z easily wins by a few seconds or more. On a smaller track, where the Z can't use that power advantage, the times are a bit closer. I even said the cars weren't really direct competitors but I used the two vehicles as an example relating to this post.

I also never stated the twins being handling gods, and if you've ever seen some of my other posts, you'll know that I don't think the FRS is the end all be all of sports cars, and that it definitely has its shortcomings.

I also, like previously stated, don't really care that much at all about lap times. I think it's cool to see in terms of comparison, but it only tells so much of the story. Like I said, If I cared about lap times that much, then for $35-$40k, I would have bought a different vehicle than the one I own now.

I just think your jimmies got rustled a bit cause I mentioned a Z in comparison, which you own.
