FT86 - 208KW, 2800lbs (at the top end of that scale ) - ~13.46 lbs/KW.

Not to mention the extra work taken away from the brakes/suspension, tyres, etc. by having the lower weight... the FT would decimate the 370Z IMO...

No doubt.

Hey, I'm not ragging on the MR2 ok? I know it has loads of grip. I will be the first to tell you (and don't let the Supra guys hear me say it) that now barring the LFA, it is the best sports car Toyota has ever made.

Don't try to insult me.
